CGPA

THE CGPA SYSTEM

The Course Grade Point Average (CGPA) system is applicable to courses registered for and/or by me. This is not to be confused with the regular Grade Point Average (GPA) system used by NTU to assess students’ performance in their courses.

1. Grades and grade points are assigned as follows:

Letter-Grade Grade-Range
A+ 5.00
A 4.50-4.99
A- 4.00-4.49
B+ 3.50-3.99
B 3.00-3.49
B- 2.50-2.99
C+ 2.00-2.49
C 1.50-1.99
C- 1.00-1.49
D+ 0.50-0.99
D 0.01-0.49
F 0.00

2. The computation of Course Grade Point Average (CGPA) is as follows:

[Degree of Purpose] + [Degree of Accessibility] + [Degree of Interestingness]
[Total Criteria used to Evaluate the Course: *cough*3*cough*]

3. The Full List will be compiled on any basis. 100% of the cohort, subject to attaining a minimum Course Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 0.00, is eligible for the Full List.

4. The cut-off for each degree classification is as follows:

CGPA Range Classes of Honours Description
4.50-5.00 First Class If it clashes with your core, drop the core instead.
4.00-4.49 Second Class Upper Go to STARS and plan it as soon as possible.
3.50-3.99 Second Class Lower Be considerate to take if it still has vacancy left.
3.00-3.49 Third Class If it seems interesting to you, no one’s stopping.
2.00-2.99 Pass Well, at least it helps to clear the Academic Units.
0.00-1.99 Fail This is the epitome of hell-spawned excruciation.

5. No course may exercise the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) option.

  1. your results come out le meh?

    [AD: I wish.]

  2. oh sorry, this is used to evaluate the cores..lol

    [AD: Haha.]

  3. try not to use CGPA..cause NTU also uses that term as Cumulative GPA…lol..no wonder i got confused

    [AD: Ambiguity rules, haha. Besides, I needed to throw a reference to the real CGPA to have the rules parodied for my fictitious CGPA.]

  4. kindly tell us what is the mathmaticaly rule to convert in CGPA.(DETAIL SHEET)

    [AD: The CGPA system above is not the education parameter as introduced in some universities. Rather, this post was written as a parody of the real CGPA system at Nanyang Technological University and its purpose is to guide NTU students to choose courses based on my personal one-semester experience. I am sorry to have caused a confusion here. You can access NTU's CGPA sheet here.]
