☛How to calculate the Percentage?
Some Universities/Institutes/Boards do not award Class or percentage of marks and allot Aggregate Grade Points (e.g. CGPA/OGPA/CPI, etc.). In case University/Institute/Board defines criteria for conversion of Aggregate Grade Point into a percentage of marks, the same will be accepted. But in the case if the University/Institute/Board does not define the criteria then the undefined parameter would be worked out as under:
|
Equivalent CGPA/OGPA/CPI or similar
terminologies allotted on a 10 point scale
