Example 1(Promotion)

? In this example, GPA = 29.40 ¸ 14 = 2.10 (PROMOTION ON PROBATION)

 Example 2(Repeat Semester)

? In this example, GPA = 23.20 ¸ 14 = 1.65 < 1.80 (DROP OUT)

Example for calculating CGPA

1^st Semester GPA = 2.47

2^nd Semester CGPA = [(14 × 2.47) + (16 × 3.01)] ÷ (14 + 16)

                                  = (34.58 + 48.16) ÷ 30 = 82.74 ÷ 30 = 2.76

3^rd Semester CGPA = [(14 × 2.47) + (16 × 3.01) + (16 × 2.74)] ÷ (14 + 16 + 16)

                                 = (34.58 + 48.16 + 43.84) ÷ 46

                                 = 126.58 ÷ 46  = 2.75

              (From Spring 2006 to Fall 2002 Batches)
