Continuous Assessment (Assignments) and Semester-End Examinations.

B) The student will get a Grade Sheet with total grades earned and a Grade Point Average
after earning the minimum number of credits towards the completion of the Programme.

C) The performance of a student will be evaluated in terms of two indices, viz.

i) Semeser Grade Point Average (SGPS) which is the Grade Point Average for a
Semester; and
ii) Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) which is the Grade Point Average for
all the completed semesters at any point in time.

D) Marks / Grade / Grade Point w.e.f the academic year 2023-24 (10 Point Scale):

TOTAL NUMBER OF MARKS AND CREDITS: SEMESTER-WISE

55-59 C Above Average 7
50-54 D Average 6
40-49 E Satisfactory 5

E) Computation of 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. That is:
SGPA (Si) = ∑ (Ci x Gi) / ∑Ci
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.

F) Computation of CGPA: The CGPA is also calculated in the same mammer taking into
account all the courses undergone by a student over all the semesters of a programme. That is:
CGPA = ∑ (Ci x Si) / ∑Ci
Where Si is the SGPA of the ith semester and Ci is the total number of credits in that
semester.

G) The SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points and reported in the
