Credit and Grading System
Calculation of SGPA and CGPA
- Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA): The full form of SGPA is Semester Grade Point Average. It is calculated by dividing the total credit points earned by a candidate in one Semester by the total credit points in that Semester. SGPA shall be rounded off to two decimal places.
- Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA): The full form of CGPA is Cumulative Grade Point Average. It is calculated by dividing the total credit points earned by a candidate in the entire course by the total credit points in that course. CGPA shall be rounded off to two decimal places.
Formula Used:
- Where Ci is the credit earned for the course i in any Semester, Gi is the Grade Point obtained by a candidate for the course i, and n is the number of courses passed in that Semester.
Award/Degree/Medal
For the award of a degree, a student must successfully complete all curriculum requirements, including passing the minimum specified courses, earning the minimum credits prescribed for their programme, satisfactorily fulfilling other academic requirements, and clearing all University dues.
For Semester Mark Sheets and Academic Transcript, instead of mentioning 1st Class or 2nd Class, only the percentage of marks, SGPA and CGPA will be shown.
Rank certificates will be issued to students who hold a position between 1st, 2nd and 3rd in their respective programmes and pass all papers on the first attempt.
In case of a tie in aggregate marks, the student securing the higher CGPA will be considered for the award of the Medal.

The students who pass the examination in the Supplementary examination will not be awarded any medal or mark of distinction.
