The weighted average of each semester's GPA will be used to establish the program's cumulative grade point average.

CGPA = { (GPA of Sem. I) (Credit Points of Sem. I) + (GPA of Sem. II) (Credit Points of Sem. II) + (GPA of Sem. III) (Credit Points of Sem. III) + (GPA of Sem. IV) (Credit Points of Sem. IV) } / { Total CreditPoints }

For any reasons if you miss an internal exam, there is no retest conducted. The student will be given Zero marks for that test. For internals, a student can do better in other assignments and class test to pass the course and avoid a backlog but in final exams, missing it means a backlog. No reason is entertained. 

If a students fails in internal exams, a student is required to give a test and is supposed to pass it. A question paper is given to all backlog students and they are supposed to write it. If you fail in a semester/year end paper, then next year when juniors will be giving their paper, you are also supposed to give the exam that time. The Cgpa is highly affected by a single backlog also.

Decent clothes are expected and if not followed by anyone, then the entire batch is asked to wear SCMC t - shirts which are provided by the college.
