Credit points (CP) Calculation
The Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is calculated by dividing the sum of credit points (CP) secured from all subjects / courses registered in a semester, by the total number of credits registered during that semester. SGPA is rounded off to two decimal places. SGPA is thus computed as
The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is also calculated in the same manner taking into account all the subjects/courses undergone by a student over all the courses of a programme, i.e.
Award of degree marks equivalent to the computed final CGPA, the following

CGPA Procedure
Students with final CGPA (at the end of the under graduate programme) 8.00 and above, and fulfilling the following conditions

01

Should have passed all the subjects/courses in ‘first appearance’ within the first 4 academic years (or 8 sequential semesters) from the date of commencement of first year first semester.

02

Should have secured a CGPA > 8.00, at the end of each of semesters, starting from first year first semester onwards.

03

Should not have been detained or prevented from writing the end semester examinations in any semester due to shortage of attendance or any other reason, shall be placed in ‘FIRST CLASS WITH DISTINCTION’, otherwise FIRST CLASS only.

04

Students with final CGPA (at the end of the under graduate programme) ≥ 6.5 but < 8.00, shall be placed in ‘FIRST CLASS’.

05

Students with final CGPA (at the end of the under graduate programme) ≥ 5.5 but < 6.5, shall be placed in ‘SECOND CLASS’.

06

All other students who qualify for the award of the degree (as per item 12.1), with final CGPA (at the end of the under graduate programme) ≥ 5 but < 5.5, shall be placed in ‘pass class’.

07

A student with final CGPA (at the end of the under graduate programme) < 5.00 will not be eligible for the award of the degree.

MBA Examinations and Assessment Grading Procedure
As a measure of the student’s performance, a 10-point Absolute Grading System using the following Letter Grades (UGC Guidelines) and corresponding percentage of marks shall be followed:

1. Grades will be awarded to indicate the performance of each student in each Theory Subject, or Lab/ Practicals, or Seminar, or Technical Paper Writing or Project, etc., based on the percentage of marks obtained in CIE + SEE (Continuous Internal Evaluation + Semester End Examination, both taken together) as specified in Item 7 above, and a corresponding Letter Grade shall be given.

02

A student obtaining F Grade in any Subject is deemed to have ‘failed’ and is required to reappear as ‘Supplementary Candidate’ for the Semester End Examination (SEE), as and when conducted. In such cases, his Internal Marks (CIE Marks) in those subjects will remain as obtained earlier.

03

If a student has not appeared for the examinations, ‘Ab’ Grade will be allocated to him/ her for any subject and shall be considered ‘failed’ and will be required to reappear as ‘Supplementary Candidate’ for the Semester End Examination (SEE), as and when conducted.

04

A Letter Grade does not imply any specific marks percentage; it is only the range of percentage of marks.

05

A student earns Grade Point (GP) in each Subject, on the basis of the Letter Grade obtained by him/ her in that Subject/ Course. The corresponding ‘Credit Points’ (CP) are computed by multiplying the Grade Point with Credits for that particular Subject/ Course.

ssd

SGPA Calculation
The student passes the Subject/ Course only when he gets GP 6 (B Grade or above).
The Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is calculated by dividing the Sum of Credit Points (CP) secured from ALL Subjects/ Courses registered in a Semester, by the Total Number of Credits registered during that Semester.
SGPA is rounded off to TWO Decimal Places. SGPA is thus computed as
where ‘i’ is the Subject indicator index (taking into account all Subjects in a Semester), ‘N’ is the no. of Subjects ‘REGISTERED’ for the Semester (as specifically required and listed under the Course Structure of the parent Department), ‘Ciii’ is the no. of Credits allotted to the ith Subject, and ‘Gi’i represents the Grade Points (GP) corresponding to the Letter Grade awarded for that ith Subject.
The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is a measure of the overall cumulative performance of a student over all Semesters considered for registration. The CGPA is the ratio of the Total Credit Points secured by a student in ALL registered Courses in ALL Semesters, and the Total Number of Credits registered in ALL the Semesters. CGPA is rounded off to TWO Decimal Places. CGPA is thus computed from the I Year Second Semester onwards, at the end of each Semester, as per the formula
where ‘M’ is the TOTAL no. of Subjects (as specifically required and listed under the Course Structure of the parent Department) the Student has ‘REGISTERED’ for from the 1st Semester onwards upto and inclusive of the Semester 'S' ( obviously M > N ), ‘j’ is the Subject indicator index (taking into account all Subjects from 1 to 'S' Semesters), ‘Cij’j is the no. of Credits allotted to the jth Subject, and ‘Gj’ represents the Grade Points (GP) corresponding to the Letter Grade awarded for that jth Subject. After registration and completion of I Year I Semester however, the SGPA of that Semester itself may be taken as the CGPA, as there are no cumulative effects.

Award of Degree and Class
If a student who registers for all the specified Subjects/ Courses as listed in the Course Structure, satisfies all the Course Requirements, and passes the examinations prescribed in the entire PG Programme (PGP), and secures the required number of 106 Credits (with CGPA 6.0), shall be declared to have ‘QUALIFIED’ for the award of the MBA Degree.
After a student has earned the requirements prescribed for the completion of the programme and is eligible for the award of MBA. Degree, he shall be placed in one of the following three classes based on the CGPA
A student with final CGPA (at the end of the PGP) < 6.00 shall not be eligible for the Award of Degree.
