In a hybrid
grading system, we use a combination of both
absolute and relative grading
systems.
-
The two highest grades and
the lowest grade are earned and the grades in
between are awarded.
-
To earn A grade, student
has to secure >= 85 and < 90 aggregate
marks.
-
To earn A+ grade, student
has to secure > = 90 aggregate marks.
Once highest and
lowest grades are identified, the remaining
grades are then awarded by plotting the
histogram of number of students (Y axis) and
marks (X axis) and identifying the cluster of
students. These clusters of students are
identified based on gaps and dips in the
histogram.
The list of letter grades
and its connotation are shown in table 1.

Semester Grade Point
Average ( SGPA) calculation :
A SGPA will be computed
for each semester. The SGPA will be calculated
as follows:
where Ci = Credit for
the course
GPi =
Grade Point obtained for the course and
n = Number of subjects registered for the
semester. |
