How will we calculate the gpa ?

Is it (subject 1 + subject 2 + subject 3)/3 or does it consider the units(credit hours) also ?

It considers units, and classes that are not letter-graded (i.e. pass/no pass or credit/no credit) are not counted. For example, suppose a student gets the following grades:

  • A for 4 units
  • B for 3 units
  • Credit for 2 units

The gpa should be (4.0*4+3.0*3)/(4+3), or in other words sum(grade_point*units)/sum(units).
