Step-by-Step Worked Example: Mumbai University B.E.
Consider a Mumbai University Engineering student in semester 5 with six enrolled courses:
- 1Applied Mathematics V: 4 Credits × Grade A (8) = 32 Points
- 2Computer Networks: 4 Credits × Grade A+ (9) = 36 Points
- 3Database Management: 4 Credits × Grade O (10) = 40 Points
- 4Microprocessors: 3 Credits × Grade B+ (7) = 21 Points
- 5Networks Lab: 1 Credit × Grade O (10) = 10 Points
- 6Business Communication & Ethics: 2 Credits × Grade A+ (9) = 18 Points
Total Quality Points: 32 + 36 + 40 + 21 + 10 + 18 = 157 Points
Total Semester Credits: 4 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 18 Credits
