The performance of the student is measured in terms of CGPA (on a 10 point scale). However, on request from the Indian Industry and oversees University’s querying on percentage obtained by students, it is essential to provide equated percentage to students on a grade sheet. For this the CGPA shall be multiplied by 10 and resulting figure rounded off to the second digit

21. Evaluation of Academic Performance

21.1 The performance of a student will be evaluated in terms of two indices, viz., the Term

Grade Point Average (TGPA) in the first tERM (which is the Grade Point Average for a Term

) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) which is the Grade Point Average for all the

completed semesters at any point in time.

Grade Point Average (GPA)

The GPA is calculated on the basis of grades obtained in all courses, registered for in the

Term and shall be reflected in the Term grade sheet. It is calculated as below.

(a) Multiply the credits by the points assigned to the grade concerned in the table above.

(b) Add the total grade points for all the registered courses of the Term. (c) Divide the total grade points by the total number of registered credits.

23.2 CGPA

The overall Grade of a student in the program of study up to the end of a particular

Semester shall be called Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). The total grade points

scored in different semesters are added up and divided by the total number of registered

credits till then. It indicates the Cumulative Grade Point Average and shall be reflected in

the grade sheets from Term -2 onwards.

18

An Example of these calculations is given below:

I Semester

Credits registered in the I Term (total of column 2) = 22

Earned Credits in the I Term (total of column 4) = 22

Points secured in the I Term (total of column 6) = 177

TGPA (I Term ) = (177 / 22) = 8.04

Earned Credits in the II Term (total of column 4) = 16

Points secured in the II Term (total of column 6) = 129

TGPA (II Term) = (129/20) = 6.45

CGPA (at the end of 2ND Term) = (177 + 129) / (22 + 20) = 7.28
