Grading System in Bangladesh University

The final grade of a University student is prepared,based on an overall performance of students in assignments, examinations, quizzes, term papers, laboratory tests and class attendance. Each teacher from the course determines the grade of the student.

 Determination of CGPA:

The system of Letter Grading is used for evaluation of a student’s performance in a course.   A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, and D are considered as passing grades of the course. F is a failing grade of the course. Besides, `I’ in the grading system stands for (incomplete), W stands for (withdrawal), R stands for (repeat). Students obtaining such grades (F, I, W) do not proceed towards graduation and are not taking into consideration for the calculation of the Grade Point Average (GPA).
