Grade Sheet

 

After results are declared, Grade Sheets will be issued to each student which will contain the following details: The college in which the student has studied, the list of courses registered during the semester and the grade scored. The Grade Point Average (GPA) for the semester and The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of all courses enrolled from first semester onwards. GPA for a semester is the ratio of the sum of the products of the number of credits acquired for courses and the corresponding points to the sum of the number of credits acquired for the courses in the semester.
