The Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) in a Semester and the CGPA at the end of each
year may be calculated as described in para 15:

17. COMPUTATION OF SEMESTER GRADE POINT AVERAGE AND CUMULATIVE GRADE

POINT AVERAGE

l. Calculation of Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA)

The Grade Points (GP) in a course shall be assigned on the basis of marks scored in that course
as per the Table I. Any fraction of mark in the borderline less than 0.50 be ignored in assigning
GP and the fractions of 0.50 or more be rounded off to the next integers. The Credit Points
(CP) shall then be calculated as the product of the grade points earned and the credits for the
course. The total CP for a semester is the sum of CP of all the courses of the semester. The
SGPA for a semester is computed by dividing the total CP of all the courses by the total credits
of the semester. It is illustrated below with typical examples.
2. Calculation of Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
The aggregate or cumulative SGPA (CGPA) at the end of the second, fourth and sixth
semesters shall be calculated as the weighted average of the semester grade point averages.
The CGPA is calculated taking into account all the courses undergone over all the semesters
of a programme, i.e. The CGPA is obtained by dividing the total of semester credit weightages
by the maximum credits for the programme.
CGPA = ∑ (Ci x Gi) / ∑ Ci
Where Gi is the grade point of the ‘i’th course / paper and Ci is the total number of credits
for that course/ paper
CGPA= ∑ (Ci x Si) / ∑Ci
Where Si is the SGPA of the ‘i’th semester and Ci is the total number of credits in that
semester.
