8.11. For mandatory courses like orientation course, cyber security, a student has to secure 40 marks out of 100 marks (i.e. 40% of the marks allotted) in sum total of continuous internal evaluation and external examination for passing the subject / course. These marks will be graded as per table given in 3.2.2.
9.1 Marks will be awarded to indicate the performance of student in each theory subject, laboratory / practicals, seminar, Group Project 1, 2, 3, in the Major project and Comprehensive Test and Viva.
Based on the percentage of marks obtained (Continuous Internal Evaluation plus Semester End Examination, both taken together) as specified in item 8 above, a corresponding letter grade shall be given.
9.2 As a measure of the performance of student, a 10-point absolute grading system using the following letter grades (as per UGC / AICTE guidelines) and corresponding percentage of marks shall be followed:
%of Marks Secured in a Subject / Course (Class Intervals) | Letter Grade (UGC Guidelines) | Grade Points (GP) |
Greater than or equal to 90% | O (Outstanding) |
10 |
80%and less than 90% | A+ (Excellent) |
9 |
70%and less than 80% | A (Very Good) |
8 |
60%and less than 70% | B+ (Good) |
7 |
50%and less than 60% | B (Average) | 6 |
40%and less than 50% | C (Pass) | 5 |
Below 40% | F (FAIL) | 0 |
Absent | Ab | 0 |
9.3 A student obtaining ‘F’ grade in any subject shall be deemed to have ‘failed’ and is required to reappear as a ‘supplementary student’ in the semester end examination, as and when offered. In such cases, internal marks in those subjects will remain the same as those obtained earlier.
9.4 A student who has not appeared for examination in any subject, ‘Ab’ grade will be allocated in that subject, and student shall be considered ‘failed’. Student will be required to reappear as a ‘supplementary student’ in the semester end examination, as and when offered.
9.5 A letter grade does not indicate any specific percentage of marks secured by the student, but it indicates only the range of percentage of marks.
9.6 A student earns grade point (GP) in each subject / course, on the basis of the letter grade secured in that subject / course. The corresponding ‘credit points’ (CP) are computed by multiplying the grade point with credits for that particular subject/ course.
Credit points (CP) = grade point (GP) x credits …. For a course
9.7 The student passes the subject / course only when GP is not less than 5 (i.e. ‘C’ grade or above)
9.8 The Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is calculated by dividing the sum of credit points (CP) secured from all subjects / courses registered in a semester, by the total number of credits registered during that semester. SGPA is rounded off to two decimal places. SGPA is thus computed as
SGPA = { CiGi } / { Ci } …. For each semester
(i.e., upto and inclusive of S semesters, S 2),
where ‘N’ is the total number of subjects (as specifically required and listed under the course structure of the parent department) the student has ‘registered’ i.e., from the 1st semester onwards up to and inclusive of the 8th semester, ‘j’ is the subject indicator index (takes into account the subjects from 1 to 8 semesters), CJ is the number of credits allotted to the Jth subjects and Gj represents the grade points (GP) corresponding to the letter grade awarded for that Jth subject.
After registration and completion of the first year first semester, SGPA of that semester itself may be taken as the CGPA, as there are no cumulative effects.
Course / Subject | Credits | Letter Grade | Grade Points | Credit Points |
