Grade Point Average (GPA)

The GPA is calculated on the basis of grades obtained in all courses, except audit courses, registered for in the semester and shall be reflected in the semester 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 semester. (c) Divide the total grade points by the total number of registered credits.

23.2 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 Semester-2 onwards.

An Example of these calculations is given below:

I Semester

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

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

CGPA (at the end of I Year) = (177 + 129) / (22 + 20) = 7.28

ECONOMICS III (L-BA 202L) (4 CREDITS 4-1-0) This course presents microeconomic theory and applications of consumer and producer behavior and welfare analysis at an intermediate level. In addition to standard competitive models, we study deviations due to externalities, asymmetric information, and imperfect rationality. We apply this material to understand how in a society as large and complicated as ours, passing or repealing a law will make some people worse off, including some who have done nothing for which they deserve to be made worse off, and make some people better off, including some who have done nothing for which they deserve to be made better off. How, then, can one decide what the law ought to be? This course aims to build on the principles of microeconomics that the students have been already exposed to in Semester 1 and focusses on understanding the implications of these deviations as a tool for figuring out the effect of legal rules. The course will be taught through a combination of classroom lectures and case studies.
