Minimum Passing Requirements
| Level of Course | End Semester Mark | Total (CIA+ESE) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 & 2 | ≥40% | ≥45% |
| 3 | ≥50% | ≥50% |
Classification of Grades
The student will be assigned a grade based on his/her combined performance in the final examination and the continuous assessment. The grades indicated below carry a qualitative letter grade as well as the grade point number as follows:
| S.No. | Attendance | End Semester Exam | Grade | Proposed Outcome | Evaluation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Overall attendance > 80 % | - | IE | Repeat Semester | - |
| 2 | Overall attendance (Morning Counseling + Subject-wise) | Fail/Absent | F/AB | Appear for Arrear Exam (AE) | Relative Grading by fixing in the original batch |
Relative Grading
| Total Mark, M secured by the student (CA+ES) | Grade | Quality Assessment | Grade Point |
|---|---|---|---|
| M ≥(x+1.75σ) | O | Outstanding | 10 |
| (x+1.125σ) ≤ M < (x+1.75σ) | A+ | Excellent | 9 |
| (x+0.5σ) ≤ M < (x+1.125σ) | A | Very Good | 8 |
| (x+0.125σ) ≤ M < (x+0.5σ) | B+ | Good | 7 |
| (x-0.75σ) ≤ M < (x+0.125σ) | B | Above Average | 6 |
| (x-1.375σ) ≤ M < (x-0.75σ) | C | Average | 5 |
| (x-2σ) ≤ M < (x-1.375σ) | P | Pass | 4 |
| M < (x-2σ) | R | Fail | 0 |
If the value of x+1.75σ ≥ 100 & M ≥ 95, he/she may be awarded ‘O’ grade.
Absolute Grading

Grade Point Average
Based on the grades obtained by a student in all the subjects, a Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated as follows:
Based on the grades obtained by a student in all the subjects, a Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated as follows:
GPA=Σ(No. of Credits X Grade Point) / Σ(No. of Credits)
SGPA:The Semester Grade Point Average at any stage is the GPA for the subjects registered in a semester
CGPA:The Cumulative Grade Point Average at any stage is the GPA for all subjects successfully completed up to that stage.
The SGPA and CGPA are rounded off to two decimal places.
Equivalent Percentage of Marks:To get equivalent percentage of marks, multiply the CGPA by 10
CGPA Calculation
The formula for CGPA calculation is
Σ(Number of Credits X Grade Point)/Σ(Number of Credits)
Classification of Degrees
A student is awarded I Class with Distinction if the student passes all the subjects required in the first attempt within the permitted period provided the candidate has not been prevented from going to next semester for attendance / disciplinary reasons and has more than 8.0 CGPA on a 10 point grade.
A student is awarded I class, if the student
- is able to pass in all the subjects registered till pre-final semester within the stipulated period.
- is able to pass the rest of the subjects within the permitted period by taking not more than two attempts after the stipulated period.
- has not been prevented from going to next semester
All other candidates who qualify for the degree are given Second Class.
Withdrawal of Subjects
- A student not having failed / absent in any subjects earlier is allowed to drop subjects totaling to 25 credits or 16% of the total required credits in any course whichever is higher.
- This will be applied to the subjects as and when the student is absent in the semester.
- Withdrawal is allowed once in the course period.
- The immediate next attempt will be considered as the first attempt and the internal assessment of the dropped subjects will be carried forward.
- Subjects will not be listed in the statement of Grades.
Punishment of Malpractice
If any student involved in any type of malpractice the following punishment will be awarded:
- The student will be sent out of the examination hall after collecting the answer scripts and not allowed to write the particular examination for the remaining period of time.
