VU follows the following Letter Grade and Grade Point system introduced by the UGC as a uniform grading system for all public and private universities:
|
Numerical Grade |
Letter Grade |
Grade Point |
|---|---|---|
|
80% and above |
A+ |
4.00 |
|
75% to less than 80% |
A |
3.75 |
|
70% to less than 75% |
A- |
3.50 |
|
65% to less than 70% |
B+ |

|
45% to less than 50% |
C |
2.25 |
|
40% to less than 45% |
D |
2.00 |
|
Less than 40% |
F |
0.00 |
a. The Letter Grade A+, A, A-, B+, B-, B, C+, C and D are considered as pass grades.
b. An f grade is considered as ‘FAIL’ and in such cases students must go for a retake.
c. After completion of the program, the final transcript will be issued mentioning Letter Grade, Corresponding Grade Points, Attempted Credit, Earned Credit and CGPA.
d. Numerical marks in the Grade Sheet/Transcript will not be shown.
Final Result Preparation:
The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) will be computed according to the following formula:
CGPA = Sum of ( Earned Credit X Corresponding GradePoints) / Total Credits
