the ith course and Gi is the grade point
scored by the students in the ith
course.
Where, Si is the SGPA of the ith
semester and Ci is the total
number of credits in that semester.
Corresponding percentage (P) of marks : P = 10 x CGPA.

>90 to <=100 10 O Outstanding
>80 to <=90 9 A+ Excellent
>70 to <=80 8 A Very good
>60 to <=70 7 B+ Good
>50 to <=60 6 B Above Average
>40 to <=50 5 C Average
