The Evaluation of each course at BU is made on 100 marks and the distribution of weightage is given below for all programs:i. Attendance 10% ii. Quizzes 15% iii. Assignment/Presentation 5% iv. Mid-Term Exam. (Middle of the Semester) 30% v. Final Exam. (End of the Semester) 40% Total: 100% For Lab course the distribution of weightage is shown belowi. Attendance 10% ii. Assignment 20% iii. Class Perfomance 20% iv. Presentation 10% v. Lab Final Examination (End of the Semester) 40% Total: 100% Grading System:The BRITANNIA UNIVERSITY follows the following Letter grades and Grade point system introduced by the UGC as a uniform grading system for public and private universities in Bangladesh. The Grade Point Average (GPA) is computed in the following manner: A student may earn any of the five-letter grades on the basis of his/her performance in each course. The letter grades A, B, C and D are considered passing grades and also acceptable to continuing of grades. Grade F is the failing grade. The numerical equivalents of the grades and grade points are given below:
Credits for courses with this grade do not apply towards graduation but used for the calculation of grade point average. ** Credits for courses with these grades do not apply towards graduation and are not used for the calculation of grade point average. ** Credits for courses with this grade required towards graduation but are not used for the calculation of grade point average. ** In the Transcript/Grade Sheet, only the Letter Grade and the Corresponding Grade Points, and finally, the CGPA, not the numerical marks, will be shown. The Grading system is as follows:
Numerical Grade Letter Grade Grade Point 80% and above A+ (A Plus) 4.00 75% to less than 80% A (A regular) 3.75 70% to less than 75% A- (A Minus) 3.50 65% to less than 70% B+ (B Plus) 3.25 60% to less than 65% B (B regular) 3.00 55% to less than 60% B- (B Minus) 2.75 50% to less than 55% C+ (C Plus) 2.50 45% to less than 50% C (C regular) 2.25 40% to less than 45% D 2.00 Less than 40% F 0.00 In the Transcript/Grade Sheet, only the Letter Grade and the Corresponding Grade Points, and finally, the CGPA, not the numerical marks, will be shown.
Computation of Grade Point Average (CGPA):Every course has a certain number of credit hours which indicate its weightage. The credit hours of a theoretical course and the credit hours of a practical/ sessional course refer to contact hours per week and half of the contact hours per week of the courses respectively. The number of credit hours a student has completed satisfactorily and the weighted average of the grade points he/she has maintained evaluate the performance of the student. Calculation of Grade Point Average (GPA) can be explained as follows:
Grade Point Average(GPA)=((∑G*C)/∑C)=((Summation(Total)of (Grade Point earned in a Course)*Credit Hours in that course)/Total Number of Credit Hours Completed.)
Where, G=Grade Point
C=Credit Point
Suppose, a student has completed five courses in a semester and obtained the following grades:
Course Grade earned Grade Point (G) Credit hour (C) G x C Course 1 A+ 4 3 12 Course 2 B 3 3 9 Course 3 A 3.75 3 11.25 Course 4 B+ 3.25 2 6.50 Course 5 A- 3.50 1 3.50 Total = 12 42.25 CGPA=((∑G*C)/∑C)
=42.25/12
=3.52
That is CGPA =A-
