SGPA and CGPA is calculated up to two decimal places by rounding off.

R8.3
CGpA- The CGPA is the weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the courses
(Theory/term work/practical/oral/presentation) of first semester to eighth semester for the students
admitted in the First year and third to eighth semester tbr the students directly admitted at Second
year.
CGPA is calculated in the same manner as the SGPA.

R8.4
ln case of a student passing a failed course or in case of improvement. the earlier grade would be

replaced by the new grade in calculation of the SGPA and CGPA'
