Class Awarded CGPA to be secured

First Class with
≥7.75with no course failures From the
Distinction
CGPA Secured
First Class ≥6.75 with course failures from 180
Credits
Second Class ≥5.75 to <6.75
Pass Class ≥4.75 to <5.75

7.1 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

The following procedure is to be adopted to compute the Semester Grade
Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):

Range of Marks(%) Letter Grade Level Grade Point

≥ 90 O Outstanding 10
≥ 80 to <90 A+ Excellent 9
≥ 70 to <80 A Very Good 8
≥ 60 to <70 B+ Good 7
≥ 50 to <60 B Fair 6
≥ 40 to <50 P Satisfactory 5
<40 F Fail 0
- Absent 0

1. 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, i.e

SGPA( S i ) =
∑ (C .G )
i i

∑ (C ) i

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.
2. COMPUTATION OF CGPA
i. The CGPA is also calculated in the same manner taking into account
all the courses undergone by a student over all the semesters of the
programme, i.e.

Page 6 of 9
AR17 Aditya Engineering College (A)

CGPA =
∑ (C .S )
i i

∑ (C ) i

Where Si is the SGPA of the ith semester and Ci is the total number of
credits in that semester.
ii. The SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points and
reported in the transcripts.
iii. Equivalent Percentage = (CGPA - 0.75) x 10
8. MINIMUM INSTRUCTION DAYS
The minimum instruction days for each semester shall be 90 working days.
9. TRANSFER
9.1 Aditya Engineering College (AEC) proposes to practice JNTUK / State
government guidelines for transfer.
9.2 There shall be no branch transfers after the completion of the admission
process.
10. WITHHOLDING OF RESULTS
If the student not paid any dues to the college or involved in indiscipline activities,
his result will be withheld.
11. TRANSITORY REGULATIONS
11.1 Discontinued or detained students are eligible for readmission as and when
next offered.
11.2 The readmitted students will be governed by the regulations under which
the student has been admitted.

12. GENERAL
12.1 Wherever the words "he", "him", "his", occur in the regulations, they
