Abstract:

Several tertiary institutions imparting professional education have adopted the 'Grading' system for assessment of their learners. However, conventional institutions and employers have a fixed mind set for using 'Marking' system to evaluate their merit. This difference in practices puts all learners enrolled in these programmes to inconvenience. IGNOU learners enrolled in professional programmes such as MBA, 6. Ed and Engineering encountered problems from government employment agencies, and to find a way out, a mathematical model was developed for conversion of Grade Point Average (GPA) to Percentage (PC), which has been discussed here. A 3-degree equation, with minor fixations, is found to give excellent values at all points.
