| O (Outstanding) | 10 | 91–100 |
| A+ (Excellent) | 9 | 81–90 |
| A (Very Good) | 8 | 71–80 |
| B+ (Good) | 7 | 61–70 |

How to Calculate Your CGPA
CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is calculated by taking the weighted average of grade points across all semesters, weighted by the credit value of each subject.
Formula:
CGPA = Σ (Grade Point × Credit) / Σ Credits
Example Calculation:
Suppose in one semester you have the following results:
- Mathematics (4 credits) — Grade A+ (9 points): 4 × 9 = 36
- Physics (3 credits) — Grade A (8 points): 3 × 8 = 24
- Engineering Drawing (4 credits) — Grade B+ (7 points): 4 × 7 = 28
Total Credit Points = 36 + 24 + 28 = 88 | Total Credits = 11
GPA for this semester = 88 / 11 = 8.0
CGPA is calculated the same way but across all semesters cumulatively.
What to Do If You Fail a Subject
If you receive a "U" grade (fail), you can re-appear for that subject in the next available exam cycle as an arrear exam. Arrear exams are conducted alongside regular semester exams. Clearing arrears quickly is important to maintain eligibility for higher semester promotions and for placement eligibility.
Revaluation and Photocopy Requests
If you believe your marks are lower than expected, Anna University allows students to apply for revaluation or request a photocopy of the answer sheet. There is a fee for each, and applications must be submitted within the notified deadline — usually within 2 to 3 weeks of the result declaration.
