Grading Syatem, Conversion formula from Marks to Grade
- Relative Grading System
(a)
Conversion of
marks to grades :
Actual marks secured by a
group of candidates in a particular paper are converted into Relative Percentage
I before conversion into Relative Letter Grades. The maximum Actual marks (i.e.
Highest mark) (M) secured in a particular paper is converted into 100% and
other actual marks (A) secured by the student of the same group are converted
to the Relative Percentage.
R = (100/M) X
A where, R = Relative Percentage
M = Maximum (Highest) marks in the class.
A
= Actual marks of a student who passed i.e. if the
actual Mark is not less than 40%

* F means fail and must be repeated in the coming
semesters.
(e) Grade
point average (GPA) is used as a numerical score of academic achievement.
First, Grades are assigned to points
in a 10 point scale as follows:
A= 10 points, B=8 points, C= 6 points, D = 4 points, E = 2 points, F = 0
points.
Secondly, the hours of credit for each course are multiplied by the grade
point value to determine the honour points. The honour points are then added
for all the courses/papers in a semester is then divided by the total number of
credits.
