How is JNTU CGPA Calculated?
Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) calculates Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) to measure a student’s overall academic performance. The CGPA is determined based on the grades obtained in individual subjects or courses. Here’s a simple step-by-step process for calculating JNTU CGPA:
Step 1: Assign Grade Points to Letter Grades:
- O (Outstanding) = 10
- A+ (Excellent) = 9.0
- A (Very Good) = 8.0
- B+ (Good) = 7.0
- B (Average) = 6.0
- C (Pass) = 5.0
- F (Fail) = 0.0
- Ab (Absent) = 0.0
Step 2: Calculate Grade Points for Each Subject:
For each subject or course, multiply the Grade Points assigned to the letter grade by the number of credit hours or units for that course. For example, if you received an ‘A+’ in a 3-credit-hour course, the grade points for that course would be 9.0 * 3 = 27.0.
Step 3: Calculate Total Grade Points:
Sum up the grade points earned in all subjects or courses you’ve completed.
Step 4: Calculate Total Credit Hours:
Sum up the total credit hours or units for all the courses.
Step 5: Calculate CGPA:
Divide the Total Grade Points (Step 3) by the Total Credit Hours (Step 4).
Example:
Let’s say a student completed three courses with the following grades and credit hours:
- Course 1: A+ (9.0 grade points) with 3 credit hours
- Course 2: B (6.0 grade points) with 4 credit hours
- Course 3: A (8.0 grade points) with 2 credit hours
Step 2: Calculate Grade Points for Each Subject:
- Course 1: 9.0 * 3 = 27.0
- Course 2: 6.0 * 4 = 24.0
- Course 3: 8.0 * 2 = 16.0
Step 3: Calculate Total Grade Points: 27.0 + 24.0 + 16.0 = 67.0
Step 4: Calculate Total Credit Hours: 3 + 4 + 2 = 9
Step 5: Calculate CGPA: 67.0 / 9 = 7.44 (rounded to two decimal places)
So, the CGPA for this student is 7.44.
