- you are in the top 25%, but below the top 10%, of your faculty's graduating class of students; this calculation is based on the CGPA.

Note for Transfer Students: This designation may be withdrawn if your CGPA at another university or in another faculty at º«¹úÂãÎè is not comparable to the CGPA earned in your graduating faculty.
