The grade awarded for each course is based on either an end-of-semester examination and/or coursework. The standards for each course and the allocation of marks are set by lecturer/tutor concerned.
The College has a GPA system which is used at the end of the semester (a) to determine the eligibility of students to continue their studies and (b) to determine the eligibility of students at the Certificate level to undertake Certificate with Honours course. The same is used for the Diploma program to undertake the BD courses. Below are the numerical equivalence of letter grades used in calculating GPA.
