Grading

  1. University adopts relative Grading system. At the end of all evaluation components based on the performance of the student, each student is awarded with letter grade on a relative scale. The list of letter grades and its connotation are given below:

    Grade Qualitative Meaning Grade Point attached
    X Excellent 10
    A Very Good 8
    B Good 7
    C Fair 6
    D Satisfactory 5
    E Pass 4
    F Fail 0

    The grades ‘X’ and ‘F’ will be earned and remaining grades will be awarded. To earn an X grade, the overall score has to be more than 80% of total marks. A student getting less than 35% of overall score and less than 35% in the comprehensive examination (Separately in both Theroy & Practical) will be considered to have earned F grade.

  2. A student who obtains ‘F’ grade has to reappear for the comprehensive examination. However, such a student need not attend the classes and marks obtained in session tests, surprise quiz, case analysis and attendance will be carried for the subsequent attempts of the student.
  3. In case of a student who has earned F grade, after the student has fulfilled all the requirements for passing it will be converted into a valid grade by considering grade cutoffs of the batch in which he/she had appeared for the course for 1st time.
  4. The overall performance of the student is described by Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) and is calculated taking into consideration grade obtained by the student in all credited courses and credits attached to it. It is the weighted average of the grade points of all the letter grades obtained in credited courses by the student from his entry into the University. CGPA is computed as follows:

    where c1,c2 ….. cg denotes credits associated with the course applied and g1, g2…denotes grades obtained by the student.
