(1) For each credit course completing one full semester, continuous evaluation shall be made as per the parameters set out by the course instructor and, with each such parameter having variable weightage, the weights for each of these shall be indicated in the course outline and the procedure shall be informed to the students at the commencement of the course.
(2) After compiling the marks for all the evaluations, i.e. written, oral, quizzes, written papers, examinations, dissertations, projects or take home examinations, the final grades shall be awarded as per following the guidelines, namely:- Letter grade Grade point Performance Slab (%) A+ 10 Distinction 90-100 A 9 Outstanding 85-89 A- 8 Excellent 80-84 B+ 7 Very Good 75-79 B 6 Commendable 70-74 B- 5 Good 65-69 C+ 4 High Average 60-64 C 3 Mediocre 55-59 C- 2 Low Average 50-54 D 1 Marginal Pass 40-49 F 0 Fail <40 I Incomplete NC (SR) 0 Audit course Satisfactorily Reported NC (NR) 0 Audit course Not Reported (NC: Non Credit)
(3) The minimum passing grade shall be ‘D’ and where a student does not earn any credit in courses and is awarded ‘F’ grade, he or she has to repeat all such courses until a passing grade is obtained and the credits for the courses in which a student has obtained a ’D’ grade or higher grade, shall be considered as credits earned by the student.
(4) For the purpose of converting marks into corresponding Grade Point, the marks shall always be rounded off to the nearest integer.
(5) Each School may internally set the procedure for the students who may require to earn additional credits after having failed either in a core or an elective course.
(6) (a) A student shall be awarded an ‘I’ grade if he or she has not fulfilled all the requirements for the course on account of circumstances which are beyond his or her control, such as, meeting with an accident, becoming a victim of crime, acute illness or serious ongoing medical condition, ongoing life threatening illness of a close family member or partner, bereavement of a close family member or partner, acute or ongoing serious personal or emotional circumstances, or domestic upheaval at the time of the assessment (e.g. fire, burglary, eviction), etc.
(b) The ‘I’ grade specified in clause (a) shall be converted into a proper grade after evaluation as per the prescribed guidelines and sent to the Academic Office within two weeks from the date on which all the major tests are over:
Provided that, in case of circumstances mentioned in clause (a), the period of conversion of ‘I’ grade shall be extended to the first week of the next semester, with the approval of Dean of the concerned school.
(7) Non credit of Satisfactorily Reported or Not Reported grades shall be awarded in an audit course, and the students who do not earn credits in audit courses shall be awarded a Satisfactorily Reported or Not Reported grade as the case may be, and these grades shall not be considered in the calculation of Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) or Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).

(8) The performance of a student shall be represented by Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA), Cumulative Grade Points Average (CGPA) and Final Grade Point Average (FGPA) and CGPA shall be calculated as the grade point average for all the completed semesters.
(9) The Semester Grade Points Average (SGPA) shall be calculated for each semester on the basis of grades obtained in that semester and the SGPA for the ‘jth’ semester shall be calculated as follows: SGPAj = 1 1 / n n i i i i i m c c = = ∑ ∑ Where ‘n’ is the number of courses in the ‘jth’ semester, ‘mi’ denotes the numerical value of the grade obtained in the ‘ith’ course of the semester, ‘ci’ denotes the number of credit for the ‘ith’ course of the semester.
(10) Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) for ‘k’ semesters is given as: CJPAj = 1 k j= ∑SGP Aj * cj 1 / k j j c = ∑ Where, ‘cj’ is the total number of credits in the ‘jth’ Semester.
(11) The Final CGPA obtained by a student shall be equated as per the following performances:
CGPA Grade Performance
9.0-10 A+ Distinction
8.5-8.9 A Outstanding
8.0-8.4 A- Excellent
7.5-7.9 B+ Very Good
7.0-74 B Commendable
6.5-6.9 B- Good
6.0-6.4 C+ High Average
5.5-5.9 C Mediocre
5.0-5.4 C- Low Average
4.0-4.9 D Marginal Pass <4.0 F Fail (The minimum CGPA required for the award of Master’s Degree is fixed at 4.0)
