2. Introduction
 Pokhara University follows three types of
grading system :
 Relative Grading System
 Absolute Grading System
 Percentile System (Only for Nursing Program)

3. Grading SystemBasics of PU
 The grades awarded to a student in a course
are based on his/her consolidated
performance in
 Internal Exam
 External Exam.
 Awarding final grade:
 Undergraduate level: 0.50 IEM + 0.50 EEM
 Graduate level: 0.60 IEM + 0.40 EEM

4. The Two Important Terminologies
 SGPA= Semester Grade Point Average
 SGPA = total honor points earned in a semester/
total no. of credits registered in a semester
 CGPA= Cumulative Grade Point Average
 CGPA = total honor points earned/ total no. of
credits Completed

5. Calculating SGPA

12. Example

13. Relative Grading System
 Relative Grading is done using the formulae
as mentioned
 Standard Deviation
 Mean
 Apply Factor(Fixed Values)
 Grade = Factorx SD+Mean

14. An Example
Factor SD Factorx SD+Mean
Grade
45 D
Mean 70 -2.3 8.86 49.6266 D+
70 -1.7 8.86 55.3843 C-
70 -1.1 8.86 59.99046 C
70 -0.7 8.86 63.97656 C+
70 -0.3 8.86 67.25402 B-
70 0.1 8.86 70.8858 B
70 0.47 8.86 74.16326 B+
70 0.84 8.86 77.44072 A-
70 1.41 8.86 82.48978 A

15. Special Considerations

16. Deviation
 Deviation is applied if the difference between
internal and external marks is
 More then 25 in undergraduate level
 More than 30 in graduate level
 Deviation is calculated for each individual college
and each individual subject.

17. Working Example
Deviation
Theory reduced
to 50%

18. Explanation of Final Calculation
Mr. Dipendra Raj Pathak: Subject IED
Internal theory: 29
Internal Practical 20
External Theory 60/2 = 30
So without deviation marks = 29+20+30 = 79
Internal theory: 29 = 29/2 = 14.5
Internal Practical 20
External Theory 60 *.65 = 39 (50% + 15 %) added after deviation
So with deviation marks = 14.5+20+39 = 73.5

19. Calculation of
Values
Standard Deviation
Mean

20. Final
Grade
So score of Dipendra Raj Pathak with deviation = 73.5

21. Final
Grade
And score of Dipendra Raj Pathak without deviation = 77

22. Any Queries?
