KTU SGPA & CGPA Calculation (2015 & 2019 Scheme)

 2015 Scheme

Eligibility for writing the end semester examination and for grading

Students with 45% or more marks in internal assessment in a course shall only be permitted to write the end semester examination in that course. Those with less than 45% internal marks shall be awarded FE grade and have to register for the course again. 

A student should have a minimum of 45% marks in the end semester examination to be eligible for grading in a course. Otherwise he/she will be considered to have failed in the course and an F grade will be awarded. Internal marks given to the students who got 45% marks or more in the end semester examination shall be regulated in line with the end semester examination performance. 

Internal mark percentage shall not exceed 25% over the end semester mark %. (For example if the end semester mark % is 45, then the maximum internal mark % is to be 45+25 = 70 %.) 

In case the student writes the supplementary examination, the mark got in that will be taken into consideration for regulating the internal marks. Those who have more than 45% marks in the end semester examination are awarded the grade based on both internal assessment and end semester examination marks. A student earns credits for a course if the grade is P or above.  

Award of Grades

Grading is based on the % marks obtained by the student in a course. The grade card will only give the grades against the courses the student has registered.

Semester grade card will give the grade for each registered course, Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) for the semester as well as Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).

Grades and Grade Points

Calculation of SGPA/CGPA

Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) are calculated as follows. 

SGPA = Σ(Ci×GPi)/ΣCi where Ci is the credit assigned for a course and GPi is the grade point for that course. Summation is done for all courses registered by the student in the semester. Here the failed courses are also accounted. 

CGPA = Σ(Ci×GPi)/ΣCi where Ci is the credit assigned for a course and GPi is the grade point for that course. Summation is done for all courses registered by the student during all the semesters for which the CGPA is needed. Here the failed courses are also accounted.

CGPA of all courses passed may also be given. CGPA for the B. Tech programme is arrived at by considering all course credits that are needed for the degree and their respective grade points.

 2019 Scheme

Students registered for a course have to attend the course regularly and undergo the Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) and appear for the End Semester Examinations (ESE). Credits for the course are deemed to be earned only on getting at least a pass grade ‘P’ or better in the composite evaluation.

Pass minimum for a course shall be 40% for the End Semester Examination and 50% of CIE and ESA put together. Letter grade ‘F’ will be awarded to the student for a course if either his/her mark for the End Semester Examination (ESE) is below 40 % or the overall mark [Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) + End Semester Examination (ESE)] is below 50 %

Students who received F grade in an End Semester Examination shall have to appear for the End Semester Examination at the next opportunity and earn the credits. They shall not be permitted to register for the course again. 

Continuous Internal Evaluation mark percentage shall not exceed 30% over the End Semester Examination mark %. CIE marks awarded to a student shall be normalised accordingly. For example if the end semester mark % is 40, then the maximum eligible CIE mark % is 40+30 = 70 %.) 

Grading is based on the overall % marks obtained by the student in a course. The grade card shall only give the grades against the courses the student has registered. Semester grade card shall give the grade for each registered course, Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) for the semester as well as Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).   

Grade and Grade Points

Grade cards shall be made available in the student login for the registered courses, in every semester. On earning the required credits for the degree, the University will issue the final consolidated grade sheet for the B. Tech program including CGPA.

Calculation of SGPA/CGPA

Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) are calculated as follows. 

SGPA = Σ(Ci×GPi)/ΣCi , where ‘Ci’ is the credit assigned for a course and ‘GPi’ is the grade point for that course. Summation is done for all courses specified in the curriculum of that semester. The failed and incomplete courses shall also be considered in the calculation. 

CGPA = Σ(Ci×GPi)/ΣCi , where ‘Ci’ is the credit assigned for a course and ‘GPi’ is the grade point for that course. Summation is done for all courses specified in the curriculum up to that semester for which the ‘CGPA’ is needed. Here the failed courses shall also be accounted. 

CGPA for the B. Tech programme is arrived at by considering all course credits that are needed for the degree and their respective grade points. 

For students admitted under lateral entry scheme, credits for the first and second semester courses shall not be accounted for the calculation of CGPA. 

 Equivalent percentage mark shall be = 10 * CGPA – 2.5
