India
In India, most engineering colleges follow the course credit system. The number of 'Contact Hours' in a week of a particular course, determines its credit value. Typically, courses vary from 2 to 5 credits. The GPA is calculated on a 10 point scale, with weighted average of the grades received in the respective course. The grades awarded are; A+,A,B+,B,C+,C,D & E(Fail). This GPA is also known as CGPA(Cumulative Grade Point Average). The thesis submitted at the end of the four year degree is generally given 20 credits. On an average, students in India need to complete 195-200 credits after their 4-year engineering course to be awarded the degree B.Tech/B.E. with a summer internship(6 weeks minimum) & a one year long thesis project.
