This is a great system. Unfortunately for me, my university doesn't have such practices.
1) If one were to resit his paper, his mark would be capped at 40%;
2) if one were not able to resit his paper (i.e. below 20% for compulsory module), he would be required to withdraw from the university;
3) if one had applied and granted mitigating circumstances, he would be required to repeat his year;
4) there's only one exam in one academic year;
5) no resit for final year students.
Back to the track, so a person who scored As in all his paper will get CGPA of 4.0? And CGPA can't tell the difference between someone with 80% average and someone with 70% average?
The system also doesn't help students under the borderline marks, since with 69% they will get 3.0 instead of 4.0??
