I have a big doubt... if i want to get distinction, i must score a GPA of above 8.5 in all 8 semester's? because, i have GPA of 8.45 and 8.17 in 4th and 5th sem, but my CGPA till 5th sem is 8.81 ..
so if i maintain CGPA of above 8.5, i will be awarded distinction or I can avail only first class as i scored GPA below 8.5 ?? please clarify my doubt..

Ya bro, you will get First Class with distinction... You should have CGPA above 8.5 after completing all 8 semester.. GPA of each semester is not considered.. Only CGPA is important... All the Best bro..
