How to calculate GPA (Grade Point Average) for TNAU?
Some students mistake GPA with Average marks. Average is the mean value of all the marks obtained, while GPA is the grade point average which is obtained by dividing Total Credit Points by Total Credit Hours.
GP (Grade Point) | Total Marks(%) / 10 |
CP (Credit Point) | Grade Point x Credit Hours |
GPA (Grade Point Average) | Total Credit Point / Total Credit Hours |
OGPA (Overall Grade Point Average) | Cumulative Credit Points / Cumulative Credit Hours |
