by the student fall.
 Table – Conversion into Grades and Grade Points assigned

Range in which the marks in Grade Grade Points

the subject fall Assigned
≥ 90 S (Superior) 10
80-89 A (Excellent) 9
70-79 B (Very Good) 8
60-69 C (Good) 7
50-59 D (Average) 6
40-49 E (Below Average) 4
< 40 F (Fail) 0
Absent Ab (Absent) 0

A student obtaining Grade F shall be considered failed and will be required to reappear for that
subject when the next supplementary examination offered. Same is the case with a student who
obtains ‘Ab’ in end examination.

For mandatory courses “Satisfactory” or “Unsatisfactory” shall be indicated instead of the letter
grade and this will not be counted for the computation of SGPA/CGPA.

10. Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):

(i) The Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is the ratio of sum of the product of the number
of credits with the grade points scored by a student in all the courses taken by a student and
