For degree courses performances of students in each paper are expressed in terms of marks as well as in Letter Grades. In case of fractions the marks shall be rounded off to nearest integer. The class interval for the purpose of awarding the grades can be arrived at by dividing the difference between the highest mark secured and the minimum pass mark by 6 as there are six passing grades
Award of Letter Grades
The assessment of a course will be done on absolute marks basis. However, for the purpose of reporting the performance of a candidate, letter grades, each carrying certain points, will be awarded as per the range of total marks (out of 100) obtained by the candidates, as detailed below:
Range of the Total Marks |
Letter Grade |
Grade Points |
90 to 100 |
S |
10 |
80 to 89 |
A |
09 |
70 to 79 |
B |
08 |
60 to 69 |
C |
07 |
55 to 59 |
D |
06 |
50 to 54 |
E |
05 |
0 to 49 |
F |
0 |
"F" denotes failure in the course. ‘FA’ denotes absent / detained.
After results are declared, grade sheets will be issued to the students. The grade sheets will contain the following details:
- The college in which the candidate has studied
- The list of courses enrolled during the semester and the grades scored.
- The Grade Point Average (GPA) for the semester and the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of all enrolled subjects from first semester onwards
- GPA is the ratio of sum of the products of the number of credits (C) of course registered and the corresponding grades points (GP) scored in those courses, taken for all the courses and sum of the number of credits of all the courses
- GPA = (Sum of (C x GP) / Sum of C)
- GPA will be calculated in a similar manner, considering all the courses enrolled from first semester. FA grades are to be excluded for calculating GPA and CGPA.
The conversion of CGPA into percentage marks is as given below
% Marks = (CGPA - 0.5) x 10
