Grading System for Programmes under Faculty of Management Studies:
1. Grade Points: The Faculty of Management Studies, Bharati Vidyapeeth University has suggested the use of a 10-point grading system for all programmes designed by its various Board of Studies. A grading system is a 10-point system if the maximum grade point is 10. The system is given in Table I below.
Table I: The 10-point Grading System Adapted for Programmes under FMS
Range ofPercent Marks
[75, 100]
[70, 74.9]
[65, 69.9]
[60, 64.9]
[55, 59.9]
[50, 54.9]
[45, 49.9]
[40, 44.9]
[00, 39.9]
Grade Point 10.0 9.0 8.0 7.0 6.0 5.5 5.0 4.5 0.0
Grade O A+ A B+ B C+ C D F
2. Scheme of Examination: For some courses there is Internal Assessment (IA) conducted by the respective institutes as well as a University Examination (UE) at the End-of-the Term. Both IA and UE will be conducted out of 100 marks and converted to grade points and grades using Table I above.
For courses there is only Continuous Assessment (CA) the respective institutes will evaluate the students in varieties of ways, three or four times, during the term for a total of 100 marks. Then the marks will be converted to grade points and grades using the Table I above.
3. Performance in a Course: The performance in a course is indicated by a Grade Point Index (GPI). For courses with both UE and IA components, the GPI is computed as a weighted average of grade points in UE and IA with respective weights 60% and 40%. That is,
GPI = 0.6* GP(UE) + 0.4*GP(IA),
Where GP(UE) is the grade point corresponding to UE and GP(IA) is the grade point corresponding to IA. As an illustration, suppose that a student obtains 40% in UE and 100% in IA. Then GP(UE) = 4.5 and GP(IA) = 10.0, so that GPI in the course would be 0.6*4.5+0.4*10.0 = 2.7+4.0 = 6.7 (This would correspond to 63.5%.)
For courses with CA only, the grade point itself would be the GPI:
4. Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):At the end of each term, SGPA is calculated as the weighted average of all GPI of courses in the current semester in which the student has passed, the weights being the credit values of respective courses. Similarly, at the end of each semester, CGPA is calculated as the weighted average of all GPI of all courses in which the student has passed up to the current semester.
5. Standards of Passing:
7
a) In order to pass in a course, a student must obtain a minimum grade point of 4.5 at the UE and also a minimum GPI of 4.0 in the course. There is no separate passing criteria in IA. Thus, a student may fail in a course either because he/she failed at UE or he/she failed in aggregate performance of UE and IA. A student who passes in a course is said to have completed the credits assigned to the course.
b) A student who completed the minimum credits required for a programme will be declared to have completed the programme with the Honours according to Table II.
Table II: CGPA Ranges for Class Declaration
Range of CGPA

[40.0, 49.9] [50.0, 54.9] [55.0, 59.9] [60.0, 69.9] [70.0, 100.0]
6. Equivalence between CGPA and Percent Marks:
Any stakeholder may convert GPI of a course, SGPA, or CGPA to an equivalent percent marks using the formula
marks (%) = | 10 * CGPA if CGPA in [4.00, 6.00] | 5 * CGPA + 30 if CGPA in [6.00, 9.00] | 25 * CGPA – 150 if CGPA in [9.00, 10.00]
The above formula gives values in the Table III. For values which are not in the Table -III, use the formula directly.

The grade card also shows the 10-point scale and the formula to convert GPI, SGPA, and/or CGPA to percent marks.
9. Equivalence between 10-point, 4-point, and 6-point scales:
The Faculty of Management Studies has recommended the use of 10-point grading system. However, there are two other commonly used grading systems - the 4-point system that is used in US and many other countries and 6-point system that is recommended by UGC and followed in many Universities. Therefore, it is necessary to
9
establish equivalence between GPI, SGPA, CGPA of 10-point system and those of other two systems. Such equivalence is given in the Table VI.
