IX. Grade Awards :(i) A seven point rating scale is used for the evaluation of the
performance of the student to provide letter grade for each course
and overall grade for the Masters Programme. Grade points are
based on the total number of marks obtained by him/her in all
the heads of examination of the course. These grade points and
their equivalent range of marks are shown separately in Table-I.
The performance of the student in theory, practical, internal
assessment, subjects shall be evaluated in accordance with
following Table-I.

The overall performance of a student is evaluated by assigning

appropriate weightage to all the four semesters in order to maintain
the quality of education. A student is permitted to appear for the
semester examination subject to he or she has a minimum attendance
of 75% in theory and practical classes, completes all his/her internal/
sessional assignments and clears all his/her dues. Non appearance in
any examination is treated as the student having secured zero mark in
that subject examination.
The evaluation is based on an average weightage system. Every
subject has credit points based on the hours of study required. Every
student is assessed in a subject with appropriate weightage to internal/
sessional work and semester examination, thereby making the students
study regularly. Every student is awarded Grade points out of maximum
10 points in each subject (based on 7 Points Scale). Based on the
Grade points obtained in each subject, Semester Grade Point Average
(SGPA) and then Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) are
computed.

22
X. Computation of SGPA & CGPA
Every student will be awarded points out of maximum 10 points in each
subject. (based on 7 Points Scale). Based on the Grade points obtained
in each subject the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and then
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) are computed. The
computation of SGPA & CGPA, is as under:
Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is the weighted average of points
obtained by a student in a semester and is computed as follows:
SGPA =

U 1 M 1 + U 2 M 2 + ..... + Un + Mn
U 1 + U 2 + ....Un

Where U1, U2, .. are subject credit of the respective course

and M1, M2, .. are the Grade Points obtained in the respective
subject (out of 10)
The Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) for all the four
semesters is also mentioned at the end of every semester.
The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is used to describe
the overall performance of a student in the course and is computed as
under:
4

SGPA(n )Cn

CGPA = n = 1
n=4

Cn

n =1

Where SGPA (n) is the nth Semester SGPA of the student and
C-n is the nth Semester total credit. The SGPA and CGPA are rounded
off to the second place of decimal.
XI. Internal Evaluation Method :(i)

At the beginning of each course, every teacher shall inform

his/her students unambiguously the method he/she
proposes to adopt for the continuous assessment. Normally
the teacher concerned may conduct three written sessional
examinations spread periodically during the semester and
select best two for contributing to the final marks.

(ii)

At the end of each semester the Departmental Committee

shall assign grades to the students.

(iii)

The Departmental Committee shall prepare the copies of the

result sheet in duplicate.

23
Every student shall have the right to scrutinize answer scripts
of sessional/end-semester examinations and seek
clarifications from the teacher regarding eveluation of the
scripts immediately thereafter or within 3 days of receiving
the evaluated scripts.
(v)
The Department shall display the grade points and grades
for the notice of students.
(vi) The department shall send all records of evaluation, including
sessional evaluation, for safekeeping to the Controller of
Examinations as soon as all the formalities are over.
XII. Grade Card
The University shall issue at the beginning of each semester a
grade card for the student, containing the grades obtained by the
student in the previous semester and his Semester Grade Point
Average (SGPA).
The grade card shall list:
(a)
the title of the courses along with code taken by the
student
(b)
the credits associated with the course,
(c)
the grade and grade points secured by the student,
(d)
the total credits earned by the student in that semester.
(e)
the SGPA of the student,
(f)
the total credits earned by the students till that semester
and
(g)
the CGPA of the student (At the end of the IVth
Semester).
XIII.
At the end of the IVth semester, the University shall issue the
statement of marks to the Students showing details of marks
obtained by the student in each Head in each semester along
with grade total marks.
XIV. Power to modify and remove difficulties :1. Not withstanding anything contained in the foregoing,
Honble V.C. in consultation with the Dean of the faculty shall
have the power to issue directions or orders to remove any
difficulty,
2. Nothing in the foregoing may be construed as limiting the
power of the University to amend, modify or repeal any all of
the above.
