Key Notes

1. Distinction is awarded only if the student has no backlog in any course.

2. The CGPA to percentage conversion often uses the formula:

$$\text{Percentage} = \text{CGPA} \times 10$$

3. Second Class indicates satisfactory performance, while First Class reflects consistently good academic performance.

4. This classification is applied to the final CGPA at the end of all semesters.
