| 80 and less than 90% | A+ (Excellent) | 9 |
| 70 and less than 80% | A (Very Good) | 8 |
| 60 and less than 70% | B+ (Good) | 7 |
| 50 and less than 60% | B (Average) | 6 |

Computation of SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average)
Formula:
SGPA = ∑(Ci × Gi) / ∑Ci
Where:
- Ci = Credits of the ith course
- Gi = Grade point earned in the ith course
- ∑(Ci×Gi) = Total credit points earned in the semester
- ∑Ci = Total credits in the semester
Computation of CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average)
Formula:
CGPA = ∑(Sj × Cj) / ∑Cj
Where:
- Sj = SGPA of the jth semester
- Cj = Total credits registered in the jth semester
