This is from Wikipedia:

This is an article about the kind of educational grading that is being currently used in the country of India.

The grading system in India varies somewhat as a result of being a large country. The most predominant form of grading is the percentage system. An examination consists of a number of questions each of which give credit. The sum of credit for all questions generally counts up to 100. The grade awarded to a student is the percentage obtained in the examination. The percentage of all subjects taken in an examination is the grade awarded at the end of the year. The percentage system is used at both the school and university. Some universities also use the grading system and a CGPA on a 4 or 10 point scale. Notably, all the IITs,IT-BHU, NITs, IIITs, BITS Pilani (Pilani, Goa campuses), Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and most of the State run Technical Universities follow this system. DA-IICT, Gandhinagar used to use a 4 point scale, but they too have switched to a 10 point system. However, the grades themselves may be absolute (as in NITs like Rourkela, Durgapur), exclusively relative (as in BITS Pilani, NITs at Surathkal, Surat and Manipal University), or a combination of absolute, relative and/or historic, as in some IITs,DA-IICT and IIIT Hyderabad.

There are several universities and recognized school boards in India which makes an objective comparison of percentage grades awarded by one examination difficult with those for another, even for an examination at the same level. At the school level percentages of 80-90 are considered excellent while above 90 is exceptional and uncommon. At the university level however percentages between 70-80 are considered excellent and are quite difficult to obtain. It should be pointed out that the percentage of marks at university vary from one to another which makes direct comparison of percentages obtained at different universities difficult.

*******************************************************************************

In BITS , there are 5 grades :A , B , C , D , E which correspond to 10 , 8 , 6, 4, 2 .

And each course in 1 semester has credits.Most courses have 3 units.However , many practical courses have 4 units.
PS1 has 5 units and PS2 20 units.

In a semester , a student usually studies 6-7 courses which means that a semester will have a total of 20 or so units.
Now , if has 6 courses of (3,3,3,3,3,4) units each , and gets (A,A,B,C,D,E) in them.So we multiply each course grade by its respective credits i.e. (30,30,24,18,12,8).
Then we add all and divide by the total no. of credits i.e. 122/19 = 6.42. This is the Semester GPA.Even CGPA currently will be 6.42

Next sem he gets 10 (assume!!!) but this time studies 1 more 3 unit course and the total credits for the new sem are 22 and not 19.

So , now we get the total points i.e. ( 6.42 * 19) + (10 * 22).
Then we divide the above points by 19 + 22.
Now this will be the new CGPA after 2 sems.

This goes on and on.All the units and Semester GPAs are used again and again till the last sem , in the manner shown above.

You'd need above average/good CGPA.
It isn't really tough , you should study regularly , thats it.

My estimate is that even if you put half the effort you put in your 12th , you'll get enough CG for whatever dual you want.

But remember that :
1)Your parents aren't there.No one to scold you!!
2)Unlimited LAN + Comps
3)You can chat , eat , sleep , play as and when you like.
4)And for BITS , no compulsary attendance.

If you can still work hard under such dreadful conditions , you'll top your batch !!! :)
