CREDIT POINT AND CREDIT POINT AVERAGE
Credit Point (CP) of a course is calculated:
CP = C × GP
C = Credit; GP = Grade point
Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) of a semester:
SGPA = TCP/TC
TCP = Total Credit Point of that semester
TC = Total Credit of that semester
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is calculated:
CGPA = TCP/TC
TCP = Total Credit Point of that program
TC = Total Credit of that program
GENERAL INFORMATION ON ACADEMICS
GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)
GPA of different courses is calculated:
GPA = TCP/TC
TCP = Total Credit Point of a course
