12. How SGPA is calculated

16

SGPA the SGPA is the ratio of sum of the product of the number of credits with the Grade points scored by a
student in all the courses taken by a student and the sum of the number of credits of all the courses undergone by
a student i.e.
Each subject in a semester, credit obtained by the student in the subject multiplied by Grade point in which he
comes on a 10 point scale shall be multiplied together to create credit point. For example if credit is 3 and Grade
point is 8, his credit point would be 24. All the credit obtained in all the subjects in that semester shall be
counted together. All the credit points obtained in all subjects in that semester shall also be counted together.
This total of the credit point obtained shall be divided by the total of the credits obtained and whatever would be
result would be called SGPA
SGPA (Si) = (Ci x Gi)/Ci (credit point multiplied by Grade point = Credit point in each subject in one
semester
The total of credit points shall be divided by the total of credits to get the resulting SGPA)
Where Ci is the number of credits of the ith course and Gi is the grade points scored by the student in the ith
course.
13. CGPA - Calculation of Cumulative Grade Point Average :
The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) will be used to describe the overall performance of a student up
to and including the final semester. It will be computed in a similar manner from the grade points of all the
grades the student has received since his beginning of the course.
The CGPA is also calculated in the same manner taking into account all the courses undergone by a student
over all the semesters of a program i.e.
CGPA = (Ci x Si) / Ci (Credit point obtained in one semester shall be multiplied by SGPA in that semester.
The multiplications of all the semesters so obtained shall be totaled together and shall be divided by total of
credits from semester I till End and the result shall be CGPA.)
Where Si is the SGPA of the ith semester and Ci is the total number of credits in that semester. .
14. Eligibility for promotion to next Semester
a. All those who pass in all papers shall be promoted to the next semester.
b. All those who are applying for revaluation shall also be eligible for provisional promotion.
c. All those who are eligible for ATKT shall also be eligible for provisional promotion to the next

to pass in revaluation or not declared eligible even for ATKT by virtue of results of revaluation or fail in ATKT
examination.
15. Eligibility for Pass, ATKT, Grace and Revaluation
A candidate who gets 50% marks or above shall be declared successful in the grade as given above. Any
candidate getting less than 50 marks in all or any paper fails. He may be entitled to grace marks and ATKT as
per University Ordinance relating to examination.

concessions shall be permitted to take readmission in the semester wherein he has failed subject to payment of
usual fees and other charges. The provisional admission of the candidate who has been promoted to the next
semester in terms of (b) and (c) of Rule 11 as noted above shall be regularized in the semester if he/she has
passed. All those who do not pass in revaluation or ATKT examination and have been promoted provisionally in
the next higher class shall revert back automatically to the same semester from where they were provisionally
promoted without any further action.
Anybody who passes in 50% in number of the courses in that semester but fails to get less than 50% marks in
few papers may be eligible for grace marks as per rules of the university or eligible for ATKT examination.
Additionally, he shall also be eligible for revaluation in not more than two papers. If on account of any of the
three aforesaid, he passes in that semester, his credit shall be re-determined and new marks obtained on account
of any of the three shall be substituted for original marks.
