Grading system

9. Grading System

 

Letter grading will be made to assess student’s performance. The grade will be assigned on the overall evaluation of a student’s performance on the basis of semester final examination, mid-term examination, case studies, tutorial tests, term papers, assignment and class attendance in aggregate and whatever is applicable for an individual program. The teachers responsible for the course will determine the grades/GPA. The final result will be prepared by cumulating the grade point average over the courses. The UGC approved common grading system is adopted for assigning a letter grade and grade point. This is given in the following table.

 

Numerical Grade

Letter Grade

Grade Point

80% and above

A + (A plus)

4.00

75% to less than 80%

A (A regular)

3.75

70% to less than 75%

A – (A minus)

3.50

65% to less than 70%

B + (B plus)

Less than 40%

F

0.00

 

F* Failure

I** Incomplete

W*** Withdrawal

R**** Repeat

Y***** Audit

 

 

 

* “F” means failure. Credits for courses with this grade do not apply towards graduation.

“ I” grade is given to students who have fulfilled the majority of the course requirements but have been unable to complete the rest. The student is not require to register for the course in the next semester.

*** “ W” means withdrawal. A student may decide to withdraw from a course by the deadline with the consent of the instructor and the Academic Advisor.

**** “ R” means repeat. To improve grade say, F to D or better, more than two times repetition of a course is allowed.

***** “Y” means audit. An existing student or ex-student may decide to audit a course of his/ her interest for improvement of his knowledge for the particular course. In this case, the student pays the full tuition fee for the course, attends the classes, but is not required to sit for the exams and no credit is earned.

Final Examination 50%

*The weight for Class attendance must not exceed 5%

The assessment in laboratory/ field work courses is made by observing the student in the respective lab classes and also by taking viva- voce, quizzes and piratical tests.
