One Credit is equal to 15 lectures
Suppose a student has been awarded in English the following marks in the first four semesters – 58%, 60%, 62% and 50%
(These marks represent the average of marks in the Continuous Internal Assessment and End Semester Examinations), the Grades,
Grade Points and Grade Point Average are calculated as shown below:

The total number of credits is 16 for English and the weighted grade points are 56. The students overall grade point average is
44/16 = 2.75. The student is eligible for the overall grade of B in English. Similar calculations will be made for all the
courses.
