Ten-point, Letter Grade system is adopted by the University. Each grade indicates the level of performance in the course and the equivalent grade point for the purpose of computing the semester grade point average (SGPA) and the cumulative grade point average (CGPA).

The theory and practical papers are evaluated out of 100 marks each in which 70% weightage is given to Semester End Examinations and 30% weightage is given to the Continuous Assessment.

Category of Course

The courses in a semester are broadly classified into the following categories:

1. Theory Course
2. Practical Course
3. Project and Seminar

Continuous Assessment (Internal Assessment IA)

The Continuous Assessment (Internal Assessment) is an integral part of the performance evaluation of the students for each course in the programme.

1. The Semester End Examinations for Theory/practical/Project paper/s are conducted by the University at the end of each semester by “Online Mode” for Online Programs and by “Campus Mode” for Open Distance Programs.
   Note: – 
   1. “Online Mode”: – Proctored Online Examinations
   2. “Campus Mode” : – Examinations at the University Campuses
2. Project and Seminar: – The students will be required to make a PowerPoint presentation of their project work (report/prototype) before the examiners and to submit the project/Seminar report. The details in this regard will be provided in the project guidelines.

Minimum marks to Obtain Pass Grade

Following Criteria should be satisfied to obtain Pass Grade in a paper;

1. Theory Paper: – The candidate must score a minimum of 30% in Semester End theory Exam and an overall 40% (Semester End Exam + Internal assessment).
2. Practical/Project Paper: – The candidate must score a minimum of 30% in Semester End Practical/Project Exam and an overall 40% (Semester End Exam + Internal assessment).

Grace Mark Policy

• Grace marks shall be awarded only to obtain Pass Grade in Semester End Exam theory papers as per the following criteria;
• Grace marks of 6 (six) shall be divided among a maximum of 3 (three) theory courses not exceeding 3(three) marks in each paper.

Promotion to Next Semester

Students can carry forward all courses to his/her next semester. However, one must complete (pass) all the subjects of the programme within the maximum duration of the programme. 

The maximum duration of the program is = (n+2+1*); where, ‘n’ stands for minimum duration of the program and ‘1*‘stands for 1 (one) additional year provided Academic Council approves the same.

Letter Grading System

Ten-point Letter grades will be awarded to the students as indicated below.

Marks so obtained shall be out of 100 and the same would be converted to grades as per the following table giving the range of marks for each grade.

Letter Grading System (IA: – Internal Assessment; SEE: – Sem End Exam) based on Absolute marks

*Items described above are Grades 

 Explanation of Grades

1. Pass Grades are A+, A, B+, B, C+, C and D.
2. ‘F’ is Fail Grades.

‘F’ grades denote poor and performances, i.e. failing a course. A student must repeat all compulsory courses in which she/he obtains F, Ab and N grades, until a passing grade is obtained. The courses with Grades F, Ab and N are not included in the calculation of the CGPA. However, these are included in the calculation of the SGPA.

1. Ab   Grade given when a student is “absent” in the course term end exam.
2. “N” Grade given to the student who is not eligible to appear in the exam.

• A student has to repeat all courses in which she/he obtains “F, Ab and N” grade, until a passing grade is obtained.
• All the even and odd semester end examinations are conducted separately. The details will be notified from time to time.

SGPA and CGPA (Semester and Cumulative Grade Point Average)

Calculation of Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

1. SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average): – is the weighted average of all the grades awarded to the student in the semester.

,

Where 

Cj   =   Number of credits earned in the jth course of a semester for which SGPA is to be calculated.

Pj   =   Grade point earned in jth course, and

j   =   1, 2, 3,   , n represent the number of courses in which a student is registered in the concerned semester. 

1. CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average): – is the weighted average of all the grades awarded to the student since his/her entry into the university up to and including latest semester.

,

Where 

Cj   =  Number of credits earned in the jth course, upto the semester for which CGPA is to be calculated..

Pj   =  Grade point earned in jth course. A grade lowers than D (i.e. grade point ≤ 4) in a course shall not be taken into account.

j   =   1, 2, 3,   , n represent the number of courses in which a student was registered and obtained a grade not lower than D up-to the semester for which CGPA is to be calculated. 

Semester End Theory Examinations Question paper pattern

Term end theory question paper will cover the whole syllabus and will have TWO sections (A/B). 

1. The section A will consist of total 10 Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) / fill in the blank/one liner type questions and each question will carry 2 marks.  All questions of Section A are compulsory.
