Credit means the unit by which the course work is measured. One credit means one hour of teaching work or two hours of practical work per week. Credit Points for a paper = No. of Credits assigned for the paper x Grade Point secured for that course/Paper. SGPA indicates the performance of a student in for a given semester. SGPA is based on the total credit points earned by the student in all the courses and the total number of credits assigned to the courses/papers in that Semester.

Calculation of SGPA

1. SGPA: ∑Credit Points
   ∑Credits
2. Credit Points=Credit X Grade Point

Note: SGPA is computed only if the candidate passes in all the papers ( gets a minimum ‘P’ grade in all the Papers)
