- The above mentioned Grade Points and their respective Credits earned in each course are used to calculate the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) for each Semester.
Formula for calculating SGPA is as follows:
∑ (Credit x Grade Point)
∑(Credit)
At the end of Semester VI, the learner will get a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) based on the SGPA of all semesters.
Refer to the table that follows:
