Introduction Pokhara University follows three types of
grading system : Relative Grading System Absolute Grading System Percentile System (Only for Nursing Program)
Grading System Basics of PU The grades awarded to a student in a course
are based on his/her consolidated performance in Internal Exam External Exam.
Awarding final grade: Undergraduate level: 0.50 IEM + 0.50 EEM Graduate level: 0.60 IEM + 0.40 EEM
The Two Important Terminologies SGPA= Semester Grade Point Average
SGPA = total honor points earned in a semester/ total no. of credits registered in a semester
CGPA= Cumulative Grade Point Average CGPA = total honor points earned/ total no. of
credits Completed
Calculating SGPA
An Example

Example
Relative Grading System Relative Grading is done using the formulae
as mentioned Standard Deviation Mean Apply Factor (Fixed Values)
Grade = Factor x SD +Mean
An Example
Factor SD Factor x SD +Mean Grade
45 D
Mean 70 -2.3 8.86 49.6266 D+ 70 -1.7 8.86 55.3843 C- 70 -1.1 8.86 59.99046 C 70 -0.7 8.86 63.97656 C+ 70 -0.3 8.86 67.25402 B- 70 0.1 8.86 70.8858 B 70 0.47 8.86 74.16326 B+ 70 0.84 8.86 77.44072 A- 70 1.41 8.86 82.48978 A
Special Considerations
Deviation Deviation is applied if the difference between
internal and external marks is More then 25 in undergraduate level More than 30 in graduate level Deviation is calculated for each individual college
and each individual subject.
Working ExampleDeviation
Theory reduced to 50%
Explanation of Final Calculation Mr. Dipendra Raj Pathak: Subject IED
Internal theory: 29Internal Practical 20External Theory 60/2 = 30So without deviation marks = 29+20+30 = 79
Internal theory: 29 = 29/2 = 14.5Internal Practical 20External Theory 60 *.65 = 39 (50% + 15 %) added after deviationSo with deviation marks = 14.5+20+39 = 73.5
Calculation of Values
Standard Deviation
Mean
Final Grade
So score of Dipendra Raj Pathak with deviation = 73.5
Final Grade
And score of Dipendra Raj Pathak without deviation = 77
