(b) The following non-letter grades and notations are also
used:
* - Course with Pass/Fail grading only
# - Repeated attempt
IP - In Progress
LOA - Absent (with valid reasons)
EX - Exempted from course
TC - Transfer credits
S – Satisfactory
U - Unsatisfactory
(c) The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) represents
the grade average of all courses (including failed courses)
attempted by a student. The computation of CGPA is as
follows:
[Grade Point x AU for Course 1] + [Grade Point x AU for Course X]+...
[Total AU attempted in all semesters so far]
Only letter-graded courses i.e. courses with grades A+, A, A-,
B- ... are included in the computation of CGPA. Courses
where only Pass/Fail grades are given, where the
Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory option was invoked, where the
students were absent with valid reasons, and courses that the
students are exempted from or are incomplete (i.e. awarded
an ‘IP’ grade) are not included in the computation of CGPA. A
few examples of how CGPA is computed are given below for
illustration.

3.50x3] + [3.00x3] + [2.00x3] + [5.00x4] + [0.00x3]
[3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 3]
Example 3
(The S/U option was invoked for AD104 and AE105. Grade S
denotes a Satisfactory grade while grade U denotes an
Unsatisfactory grade. These two courses, AD104 and AE105,
are excluded from the computation of the CGPA.)
[3.50x3] + [3.00x3] + [2.00x3]
[3 + 3 + 3 ]
Example 4
(AE105 is a Pass/Fail course i.e. only P or F grades are
awarded. This course is excluded from the computation of the
CGPA.)
[3.50x3] + [3.00x3] + [2.00x3] + [5.00x4]
[3 + 3 + 3 + 4 ]
