||||||||||||||||||
d) Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA): The weighted average of the GPAs of a student in all four years shall be calculated from the following equation: | ||||||||||||||||||
CGPA = {∑(TCP)×(GPA)}/∑(TCP) where, GP = Grade point obtained in individual courses, CP= Credit point for respective course, GPA=Grade point average obtained in a year, and TCP = Total point for that year. |
