At MNNIT, the multiplication factor is 10. So, to convert your CPI to a percentage, just multiply your CPI by 10.
For example: If CPI = 8.5, then percentage = 8.5 10 = 85!
At MNNIT Allahabad, we get our CPI at the end of each semester for the BTech program, which is really helpful in tracking our performance. I'm in Chemical Engineering, and the curriculum is quite decent, but I feel like the practical exposure could be better. We do have mid-sem and end-sem exams, and they can be of medium difficulty. I think a lot depends on maintaining a good CPI if you're aiming for internships, especially since companies like DeShaw and Oracle come to our campus.
Yes, MNNIT Allahabad provides CPI for BTech students at the end of each semester. I’m studying Chemical Engineering, and it’s crucial to keep a good CPI if you want to secure internships. The courses are structured with mid-sem and end-sem exams, which help gauge our understanding. The curriculum has core subjects like Chemical Process Principles and Plant Design, but I wish there were more hands-on experiences. Overall, knowing your CPI keeps you motivated throughout your time here.
To calculate the CPI at MNNIT Allahabad, consider the SPI of each semester as S1, S2, S3, and so on. The credits for each semester will be C1, C2, C3, etc.
The formula for CPI is the cumulative SPI divided by the total number of credits:
CPI = {(S1×C1) + (S2×C2) + … + (S8×C8)} ÷ (C1 + C2 + C3 + … + C8)
You can plug in the values of SPI and the total credits for each semester to compute the CPI.
For example:
Then, the CPI for the 2nd semester would be calculated as follows:
CPI = {(9×25) + (8×26)} ÷ (25 + 26) = 8.49
You can apply this method to calculate the CPI for every semester.
EDIT: This is the most recent applicable criteria as of 15th DEC 2017.
The certificate from the dean of academics states: "Currently, there is no formula to convert the CPI into a percentage. However, notionally, the CPI may be multiplied by a factor of 10 to obtain the numerical percentage."
