24. COMPUTATION OF SGPA AND CGPA


The UGC recommends the following procedure to compute the Semester Grade Point
Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):
• 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.,

SGPA (Si) =
where Ci is the number of credits of the ith course and Gi is the grade point
scored by the student in the ith 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 programme, i.e.,

where Si is the SGPA of the ith semester and Ci is the total number of
credits in that semester.
• The SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points and reported in
the transcripts.
• The credit earned from online course will not be considered for SGPA and CGPA

25. AWARD OF DEGREE

award of the degree provided
• He / She should have earned at least minimum credits of 84 as prescribed in
course structure
• He / She should have cleared all internal and external evaluation components in
