where j ranges over all semesters upto
which the CGPA is computed.

a. SGPA is calculated upto second decimal point and it is calculated only

when all subjects in that semester are cleared / passed.
b. CGPA at a given point of Semester is calculated upto second decimal point.
It is calculated only when total credits earned are equal to total credits
prescribed as per scheme upto a semester in which the candidate has last
appeared for SEE.
