1. For Diploma, the University grading scheme is as follows:

2. The Grade Point Average (GPA) for an examination sitting shall be determined by dividing the total Quality
Points by the total Credits of all the courses (excluding courses which have no contribution to the GPA)
attempted in the same sitting. The Quality Point of a course shall be defined as the Grade Point score
multiplied by the Credits of the course.

Quality Point = Grade Point x Credits of the course

Total Quality Points for course(s) with CGPA bearing registered in a Semester
𝐺𝑃𝐴 =
Total Credits for all course(s) with CGPA bearing in a Semester

3. The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) shall be determined by dividing the Cumulative Quality Points
earned by the Cumulative Credits attempted (excluding Credits of course(s) which have no contribution to the
GPA/CGPA). Credits of a course which has been attempted more than once shall be counted only once for the
Cumulative Credits attempted in determining the CGPA.

Total Quality Points for course(s) with CGPA bearing for all Semesters
𝐶𝐺𝑃𝐴 =
Total Credits for all course(s) with CGPA bearing in all Semesters
