Grade Points and SGPA
For the benefit of those who may not be well-versed in the niceties of Grades, Grade Points and Grade Point Averages, the relevant details are summarised below. The University awards Grades and Grade Points for each subject as per the criteria given in the following table.
| Grades | Grade Point | % of total marks obtained in the subject | |
| O | Outstanding | 10 | 90% and above |
| A+ | Excellent | 9 | 85% and above but less than90% |
| A | Very Good | 8.5 | 80% and above but less than85% |
| B+ | Good | 8 | 70% and above but less than80% |
| B | Above Average | 7 | 60% and above but less than 70% |
| C | Average | 6 | 50% and above but less than 60% |
| P | Pass | 5 | 45% and above but less than 50% |

The Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is a weighted average of the Grade Points obtained in the various subjects studied in a semester, the weight for an individual subject being the “Credits” for the course as specified in the curriculum. If a student secures 90% or above marks in all the subjects, he/she will get a perfect 10 SGPA!
So Greeshma has secured 90% or above marks in all the subjects in the first semester B Tech examinations. That is the meaning of Greeshma’s achievement!!
