For every semester: Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) up to precision of two digits
after decimal.
For every semester: Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) up to current semester, up
to precision of two digits after decimal.
Step 1: For each subject the percentage of obtained marks will be converted into
Grade as per Table I.
Table I: Percentage of Obtained Marks to Grade Conversion
Percentage of Obtained Marks in Percentage of Obtained Marks in Grade

Step 3: Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) of kth semseter is
Where Pi is Score Points in ith subject, Ci is Credits of ith subject,

and n is total number of subjects in current kth semester
Step 4: Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of kth semester is
Where Sj is SGPA of jth semester, Cj is total Credits in jth semester,

and m is total number of semesters upto current kth semester.
6
(b) For determining merit position of the candidates at the final year level the SGPA obtained by
them in III semester to VIII semester shall only be considered, termed as MGPA (Merit Grade
Point Average). MGPA shall be calculated as below:
Where Si is SGPA of ith semester, Ci is total Credits in ith semester.
(c) In case a candidate passes any subject in 2nd attempt or later one, the grade awarded shall not
be higher than B+ in that subject.
(d) Awarded SGPA and CGPA shall be recalculated if a candidate passes a subject or all subjects
of any semester in 2nd or later attempt.
(e) To calculate SGPA and CGPA, obtained marks for all subjects shall be considered
irrespective of whether it is F grade (Failed or Absent) or any other grade.
