intervals. UGC 10-point grading system is used with pass grade modified. Cumulative Grade
32 | P a g e
Point Average (CGPA) calculated on a 10-point scale is used to describe the overall
performance of a student. The Grade Point Average (GPA) and Cumulative Grade Point
Average (CGPA) are calculated as.
Letter grade Grade point Percentage of marks

O (Outstanding) 10 100%
A+ (Excellent) 9 90-99.99%
A (Very Good) 8 80-89.99%
B+ (Good) 7 70-79.99%
B (Above Average) 6 60-69.99%
C (Average) 5 50-59.99%
P (Pass) 4 40-49.99%
F (Fail) 0
For Nursing Courses and all other courses – Pass is at C Grade (5 grade point) 50% and above
For English and electives – Pass is at P Grade (4 grade point) 40% and above
Computation of Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point
Average (CGPA)
SPGA is the weighted average of the grade points obtained in all courses by the student during
the semester (All courses excluding English and electives)
Ex. SGPA Computation
Course Number Credit/s Letter grade Grade point Credit point (Credit × grade)
1 3 (C1) A 8 (G1) 3 × 8 = 24
2 4 (C2) B+ 7 (G2) 4 × 7 = 28
3 3 (C3) B 6 (G3) 3 × 6 = 18
33 | P a g e
Computation of CGPA
CGPA is calculated with SGPA of all semesters to two decimal points and is indicated in final
grade in mark card/transcript showing grades of all 8 semesters and their courses/subjects.
CGPA reflects the failed status in case of fail till the course/s are passed.
Semester I Semester 2 Semester 3 Semester 4

Credit – Cr
Cr: 20 Cr: 22 Cr: 25 Cr: 26
SGPA: 6.5 SGPA: 7.0 SGPA: 5.5 SGPA: 6.0
Cr × SGPA = 20 × 6.5
Transcript Format
Based on the above recommendation on letter grades, grade points, SPGA and CGPA, the
transcript shall be issued for each semester with a consolidated transcript indicating the
performance in all semesters.
Declaration of Pass
First Class with Distinction – CGPA of 7.5 and above First Class – CGPA of 6.00-7.49
Second Class – CGPA of 5.00-5.99
