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%

(d)               Conversion Table for Relative Percentage into letter Grades and Grade points.

Range of Relative percentage	Letter Grades	Grade point
90 -100 75 -89 60-74 45-59 40 -44 Below 40%	A B C D E F	10 8 6 4 2 0

* 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 points on 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.
