15. COURSE WISE GRADING OF STUDENTS

Letter Grades and Grade Points (GP) Based on the semester performance, each student is awarded a final letter grade at the end of the semester in each Course. The letter grades and the corresponding grade points are as follows:

15.1 The Srinivas University adopts absolute grading system wherein the marks are converted to grades, and every semester results will be declared with semester   grade point average (SGPA)   and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). The CGPA will be calculated every semester, except the first semester.

1. The grading system  is with the  following letter  grades  as  given below:

Grades and Grade Points

Computation of SGPA and CGPA

The following procedure to compute the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):

1. The 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 the sum of  the  number of credits of all the courses undergone by a student, i.e

SGPA (Si) = ∑(Ci x Gi) / ∑Ci

where Ci is the number of credits of the ith course and Gi is the grade point scored by the student in the ith course.

1. The CGPA is also calculated in the same manner  taking into account  all the  courses  undergone by  a student  over all the semesters of a programme, i.e.

CGPA = ∑(Ci x Si) / ∑ Ci

where Si  is the SGPA  of the ith semester and Ci is the total number of credits in that semester.

iii.   The SGPA  and CGPA  shall be  rounded off to 2  decimal places and reported in the transcripts.

Illustration No.1

 

Thus, CGPA=   26 x7   26 x8.5   26 x6.86   24 x9.2   24 x8.18   24 x7.73 = 8.18

200

Transcript  (Format): Based  on the above recommendations  on Letter grades,  grade  points,  SGPA    and   CCPA,  the  transcript  for  each semester and a consolidated transcript indicating the performance  in all semesters may be  issued.

15.2  CONVERSION  OF GRADES  INTO PERCENTAGE:

Conversion formula for the conversion of GPA into Percentage is

[CGPA Earned - 0.75] x 10= Percentage of marks scored.

Illustration: [CGPA Earned 8.2 - 0.75] x 10 = 74.5%

15.3  A student is considered to have completed a Course successfully or achieved a pass grade and earned the credits if he / she secures a letter grade other than U or W or I or F in that Course. A letter grade U or W or I or F in any Course implies a failure in that Course.

15.4  A Course successfully completed cannot be repeated.

15.5  If a student gets a fail grade F (U/W/I) in a course with both theory and practical components, then he/she has to reappear in the end semester examinations of both.

15.6 If a student obtains U grade in a course in the first three attempts, from fourth attempt onwards, full weightage (100%) shall be assigned to marks scored in the end semester examinations and the internal assessment marks they have scored during the regular course of study will be ignored. The first attempt is that which corresponds to the first registration for the course. If a student gets U or I or W grade in an attempt that is treated as an attempt.

The detailed methodology of normalization of internal marks as well as marks in the end-semester examinations shall be formulated by the Controller of Examinations.

15.7  To pass in a course with earnable credits a student has to score a minimum of 50% of the total normalized marks .
