Grading System For Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) - The College adopts a ten point grading system. The modalities and the operational details are as follows.

Grade Points –
The papers are marked in a conventional way for 100 marks. The marks obtained are converted to grade point according to the following table. If a student is absent for the paper the grade point assigned is 0.

The semester grade point average (SGPA )- is the sum of the product of the credits with the grade points scored in all subjects divided by the total credits in the semester. SGPA = ∑Credits x Grade Points / Total Credits Minimum SGPA for a pass is 4. If a student has not passed in a subject or is absent then the SGPA is not assigned.

The cumulative grade point average ( CGPA)- is the weighted average of all the subjects undergone by a student over all the six semesters of a course. CGPA = ∑ Total credits in the semester x SGPA / Total credits of the course. SGPA and CGPA will be rounded off to two decimal places.
