Absolute grading is adopted for all the

Range of Marks (CA + SEE)	Grade Points	Grade	Performance
90 – 100	9.0 – 10.0	O	Excellent
80 – 89	8.0 – 8.9	A	Very Good
70 – 79	7.0 – 7.9	B	Good
60 – 69	6.0 – 6.9	C	Above Average
50 – 59	5.0 – 5.9	D	Average
40 – 49	4.0 – 4.9	E	Pass
Below 40	0	F(Fail)	Fail
Absent	0	AA	Absent

Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is calculated by considering all the courses of the semester.

SGPA = ∑(C_i× G_i) / ∑C_i where

C_i = No. of credits,

G_i = grade points.

To arrive at marks scored in a course, multiply grade point G_i by 10.

After completion of all the courses, the minimum number of credits required for B.A. / B.Sc. / B.Com. / B.M.S / B.B.A. CGPA and OWPM shall be given separately for Part I, Part II and Part III.

CGPA = ∑(C×GP) / ∑C where

C = No. of credits,

GP = grade points.

OWPM = ∑(C×M) / ∑C, where M = marks
