The Credit System

• Total Credits Required: To graduate, you’ll need to accumulate a total of 160 credits.
• Courses and Credits: Your credits come from the courses you take throughout your program. These courses are typically assigned credit values of 5, 4, 3 or 2.
• Earning Credits: You earn the full credit value of a course by passing the exam and achieving a grade in the range of A to E.
• Failing Grades: If you receive an F grade in a course, you won’t earn any credits for that course.
• No Partial Credits: The system is all-or-nothing. You either earn the full credit value or none at all. There are no partial credits awarded.

Remember: This is a general explanation. It’s always a good idea to consult with your respective faculty for specific details about your program’s curriculum and credit requirements.

Calcultion of GPA

Your GPA (Grade Point Average) reflects your overall academic performance. Here’s a breakdown of how your grades in each course contribute to your GPA:

• Internal Marks (50%): Your internal marks account for 50% of your final grade. This component is further divided into:
  • ISA 1 & 2 (20 marks each, reduced from 40): Combined, the two ISAs now contribute a total of 40 marks.
  • Assignments (10 marks): Assignments throughout the semester add up to 10 marks.
• External Marks (50%): The remaining 50% of your final grade comes from your ESA. This exam is worth a total of 100 marks, but only the scaled score (converted to a value out of 50) is considered for GPA calculation.
• Calculating Your Final Grade: The internal and external marks are combined to determine your final grade for the course. (50% Internal Marks + 50% External Marks = 100% Final Grade)
• GPA: Your final percentage grade is then converted to a letter grade based on the following scale:

Calculation of SGPA

$$\text{SGPA} = \frac{\sum (\text{credits} \times \text{GPA})}{\sum \text{credits}}$$

Calculation of CGPA

$$\text{CGPA} = \frac{\sum (\text{credits_taken} \times \text{SGPA})}{\sum \text{credits_taken}}$$
