It shall be expressed upto two decimal places. The CGPA is a measure of overall cumulative performance of a student over all semesters. The CGPA is the ratio of total credit points secured by a student in various courses in all semesters and the sum of the total credits of all courses in all the semesters. It is expressed upto two decimal places.

CGPA will not be declared in the case of such students who either secure grade FF or absent in any one of the courses including open electives of the programme.
