The formula for calculation of GPA or Grade point Average is as shown below :
Sum of (Credit Hours assigned to the Subject × Credit Points corresponding to the grade secured by the student)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sum of credit hours of all the subjects in a batch
Example
Code | Subject | Credit Hours | Grade Received | |
Batch 1 | BBA1 | Financial Accounting | 3 | B |
BBA2 | Business Mathematics | 3 | B+ |
Suppose ‘B’ has credit points 3 and ‘B+’ 3.5
Total Credit Points Earned for Financial Accounting = Credit Points × Credit Hours
= 3 × 3 = 9
Total Credit Points Earned for Business Mathematics = Credit Points × Credit Hours
= 3 × 3.5 = 10.5
GPA = Sum of (Credit Points × Credit Hours)/Sum of Credit Hours
= (10.5 + 9) / 6 = 3.25
