Mathematics Behind the Academic Performance Calculator

1. Marks to Percentage Conversion

Before assigning a grade, the calculator converts marks to a percentage:

Percentage = (Your Marks / Max Marks) × 100

2. Percentage to Grade Conversion

The percentage is then converted to a grade using the following scale:

Percentage Range	Grade
95% and above	O
85% to 94%	A+
75% to 84%	A
65% to 74%	B+
55% to 64%	B
45% to 54%	C
35% to 44%	P
Below 35%	F

3. Grade Point Conversion

The calculator uses a grade point system where each letter grade is assigned a numerical value:

Grade	Points
O (Outstanding)	10
A+	9
A	8
B+	7
B	6
C	5
P (Pass)	4
F (Fail)	0
AB (Absent)	0

4. Grade Point Average (GPA) for Individual Courses

For calculating the GPA of an individual course, a weighted average is used:

Course GPA = Σ(Assessment Grade Point × Assessment Weightage)

Where:

Assessment Grade Point is the point value of the grade received for each assessment
Assessment Weightage is the percentage weight of each assessment

Example calculation:

let say i have course have Two assessments in a course, each with 50% weightage
I got B+ (7 points) in 1st assessment, A+ (9 points) in 2nd assessment
now convert wiegtage to decimal; conversion of 50 percentage wiegtage will be 0.50
Calculation: (7 × 0.50) + (9 × 0.50) = 8 GPA

Match the final GPA to this table for the course's final grade:

GPA Range	Final Grade
9.5 and above	O
8.5 to 9.4	A+
7.5 to 8.4	A
6.5 to 7.4	B+
5.5 to 6.4	B
4.5 to 5.4	C
3.5 to 4.4	P
Below 3.5	F

In this example, 8 GPA corresponds to an A grade.

5. Semester Performance Index (SPI) and Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) Calculation

The SPI/CPI is calculated using the following formula:

SPI/CPI = Σ(Course Grade Point × Course Credit) / Total Credits

Where:

Course Grade Point is the final grade point for each course
Course Credit is the number of credits for each course (assumed to be 4 in this calculator for simplicity)
Total Credits is the sum of credits for all courses in the semester

Note: In real-world scenarios, course credits may vary. This calculator assumes a fixed credit of 4 for all courses for simplicity.

Example S.P.I calculation:

let say i have 5 course in one semester
so total credits will be 20 if we assume each credit is 4
lets say 1st course i got A+,2nd course i got B+,3rd course i got B+,4th course i got B,5th course i got P grade,
before calculation we have convert this grades into grade point
Calculation will be: (9 × 4) + (7 ×4 ) + (7 ×4 )+ (6 ×4 )+ (4 ×4 )= 132/total credits which is 20
so final S.P.I is 6.60

For calculating C.P.I:

Must take all course from all semesester into account formula remain same use same formula for used for calculating s.p.i

CPI Formula:

CPI = Σ(Gi * Ci) / Σ(Ci)

Gi = Grade points for courses i
Ci = Credits for course i

Example Calculation:

Assume you have 1 courses every semester the following grades and credits:

Course 1: Grade = 8, Credits = 3
Course 2: Grade = 9, Credits = 4
Course 3: Grade = 7, Credits = 3

Using the CPI formula:

CPI = (8 * 3 + 9 * 4 + 7 * 3) / (3 + 4 + 3)

CPI = (24 + 36 + 21) / 10

CPI = 81 / 10

CPI = 8.10

6. Attendance Percentage Calculation

Attendance percentage is a crucial metric in academic performance. It's calculated using the following formula:

Attendance Percentage = (Number of Classes Attended / Total Number of Classes) × 100

Example Attendance Calculation:

Let's calculate the attendance percentage for a student:

Total number of classes in the semester: 50
Number of classes attended by the student: 45

Steps:

Apply the attendance percentage formula:
- Attendance Percentage = (45 / 50) × 100
- Attendance Percentage = 0.9 × 100 = 90%

Attendance Percentage = 90%

Importance of Attendance Percentage

Many educational institutions have minimum attendance requirements. For example:

75% attendance might be required to be eligible for examinations
85% or higher attendance might be rewarded with additional marks or grades
Less than 50% attendance might result in disciplinary action or course repetition

Note: The exact attendance policies may vary between institutions. Students should always refer to their specific institution's guidelines.

Conclusion

These mathematical concepts form the core of the academic performance calculator. The calculator uses these formulas to convert raw marks into grades, calculate Final grade, and determine overall performance indices like SPI and CPI.
