The internship program and the project paper is supervised and examined by the respective guide teacher.
COMPUTATION OF GRADE POINT AVERAGE:
The Grade Point Average (GPA) will be computed as under:
GPA =(Credit X Grade points) / Total Credit

Cumulative GPA (CGPA) Calculation:
Total Credit = (15+15) = 30
Total Grade Points Secured = (51+45) = 96
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) = (96÷30) = 3.20
