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
1st Semester GPA = 2.47 2nd Semester CGPA = [(14 × 2.47) + (16 × 3.01)] ÷ (14 + 16) = (34.58 + 48.16) ÷ 30 = 82.74 ÷ 30 = 2.76 3rd 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

Below 50 a. Minimum CGPA required for obtaining a degree is 2.30. b. A fraction of a mark in a course is to be counted as ‘1’ marks. For example, 64.1 or 64.9 is to be shown as 65. c. In order to calculate GPA for a semester, “multiply grade points of a course with credit hours of the course to obtain total grade points for the course, add up grade points for all courses to obtain cumulative grade points and divide the cumulative grade points by the total number of credit hours in the semester”. d. CGPA is equal to “(total grade points of 1st semester + total grade points of 2nd semester + so on) divided by (total credit hours of 1st semester + total credit hours of 2nd semester + so on). e. Course with grade ‘F’ will be counted as ‘Zero’ grade point but the credit hours of the course will be counted for the calculation of semester GPA/CGPA. f. The credit hours of a dropped, withdrawn (grade W), and grade ‘I’ course will not counted for the calculation of semester GPA/CGPA. g. Calculation of the final CGPA for the award of degree will only be made when a student has passed all the courses in a degree program.
