The Institute is revamping its academic structure. All the courses will be credit based and the evaluation will be grade based.
Due to these academic reforms the Regulation R.9, passed by the Senate in its meeting held on 10 th May 2007 stands repeal and is
replaced by the new Regulation R.9.
Credit system is a systematic way of describing an educational programme by attaching credits to its components. The
definition of credits may be based on different parameters, such as student workload, learning outcomes and contact hours. It is a
student-centric system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a programme. It should facilitate
academic recognition of the courses and mobility of the students. Credits assignment is based on the principle that Credits can only be
obtained after successful completion of the work required and appropriate assessment of the learning outcomes achieved. As per the
AICTE norms 2L/week of lectures are 2 credits, while 2h/week of practicals/tutorials are1 credit. This may be taken as the basis.
Student workload consists of the time required to complete all prescribed learning activities such as attendance at lectures/practicals,
seminars, projects, etc. Credits are allocated to all the educational components of a study programme and indicate the quantity of work
each component requires to achieve its specific objectives.
Evaluation is an important component of any teaching-learning process. The Institute gives emphasis on continuous evaluation with
considerable freedom to the teacher in deciding the mode of evaluation of the students. The performance of the student is documented
by a grade at the end of the semester. The grading scale ranks the students on a statistical basis. Therefore, statistical data on student
performance is a prerequisite for applying the grading system.
2. Course Credits
In general a certain quantum of work measured in terms of credits is laid down as the requirement for a particular degree.
The student acquires credits by passing courses every semester, the amount of credit associated with a course being dependent upon
the number of hours of instruction per week in that course.
There are mainly two types of courses in the Institute - lecture courses and laboratory courses. Lecture courses consist of lecture
(L) and tutorial (T) hours. Laboratory courses consist of practical (P) hours. The credit (C) for a course is dependent on the number of
hours of instruction per week in that course, as given below:
(1) 1h/week of lecture (L) or tutorial (T) = 1 credit
(2) 2h/week of Practicals (P) = 1 credit
(3) Credit (C) for a theory course = No. of hours of lectures per week +
No. of hours of tutorials per week = L + T
(4) Credits (C) for a Laboratory course =
½ x No. of hours of laboratory course per week
Credits will be assigned to In-plant, Seminar, Projects and other mandatory course requirements also and these will be mentioned
in the respective syllabi. There may be some non-credit requirements. A student is required to earn credits as mentioned in the
syllabus.
3. Evaluation
(a) The candidates who obtain 40% and more marks of the total marks of a subject head shall be deemed to have passed the respective
subject head.
(b) The candidates who obtain marks less than 40% of the total marks of a subject head shall be deemed to have failed in the
respective subject head (Grade FF).
3.5 Grades:
(a) The performance of a student shall be documented by a Letter grade. Each letter grade has a Grade point associated with it.
The Grades and Grade points shall be assigned to each head of passing and both will be indicated in the mark-list of the semester
examination.
(c) The total marks (in-semester + end-semester) of a candidate in a subject head are converted into a letter grade, based on the relative
(and some times the absolute) performance of the student.
Letter Grade
Grade Point
AA 10
AB 9
BB 8
BC 7
CC 6.5
CD 6
DD 5.5
EE 5
(d) For granting class a grade point of 6.0 and above will be considered equivalent to First class.
2 of 41
(c) The grades to be allotted in the case of students who fail or do not appear at the end-semester examination shall be as under.
- provided he/she intimates the same (i or ii) at least 7 days in advance of the
commencement of the end-semester examination for the respective year.
(d) Grades FF and I are place-holders only and do not enter into CPI/SPI calculations directly. These grades get converted to one of
the regular grades after the end-semester examination.
(e) A candidate with an FR grade is not eligible for any repeat examination in that course and has to re-register for that semester by
paying the appropriate fees.
(f) I grade will not be continued beyond the permissible number of end-semester/repeat examinations [Refer to current Regulation
R.9 (9) and R.9 (10)].In the six consecutive exams conducted by the institute, irrespective of whether the candidate fails to take any of
these exams.
(g) ‘XX' Grade: The grade XX in a course is awarded if – (i) candidate does not maintain the minimum 75% attendance in the
Lecture/Tutorial/Practical classes, (ii) candidate receives less than 20% of the combined marks assigned for continuous assessment
and mid-semester examination, and (iii) candidate indulges in a misconduct/uses unfair means in the examination, assignments, etc.,
of a nature serious enough to invite disciplinary action in the opinion of the teacher.
(Note: Award of the XX grade in the case of g(iii) above shall be done by Disciplinary Action Committee (DAC)).
(h) The names/roll numbers of students to be awarded the XX grade should be communicated by the teacher to the Academic office
as per academic calendar before the last date of submission of the application for end-semester examination.
The grading scale ranks the students on a statistical basis on the basis of the overall performance of the students of a given class
in the given subject head. Therefore, statistical data on students’ performance is a prerequisite for applying the grading system. While
assigning grades in a given subject head, it is essential to know the average marks (AM) obtained by the students who have passed
the subject head and the highest marks (HM) obtained in the same subject head.
3.6.1. If the average marks (AM) obtained by the students who have passed the subject head is <60%, the interval AM shall be
awarded grade CC and the other grades shall be decided as follows:
(i) AA, AB, BB, and BC grades shall be decided between the AM and HM by dividing the range in equal intervals.
(ii) CD, DD and EE grades shall be decided between the AM and minimum marks required for passing the head (i.e. 40%) by
dividing the range in equal intervals.
3 of 41
3.6.2. If the average marks (AM) obtained by the students who have passed the subject head is such that 60% ≤ AM < 70%, the
interval AM shall be awarded grade BC and the other grades shall be decided as follows:
(i) AA, AB, BB grades shall be decided between the AM and HM by dividing the range in equal intervals.
(ii) CC, CD, DD and EE grades shall be decided between the AM and minimum marks required for passing the head (i.e.
40%) by dividing the range in equal intervals.
3.6.3. If the average marks (AM) obtained by the students who have passed the subject head is ≥ 70%, the interval AM shall be
awarded grade BB and the other grades shall be decided as follows:
(i) AA and AB grades shall be decided between the AM and HM by dividing the range in equal intervals.
(ii) BC CC, CD, DD and EE grades shall be decided between the AM and minimum marks required for passing the head (i.e. 40%)
by dividing the range in equal intervals.
(a) Semester Performance Index (SPI): The performance of a student in a semester is indicated by Semester Performance Index
(SPI), which is a weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the courses taken by the student in the semester and scaled to a
maximum of 10. (SPI is to be calculated upto two decimal places.)
A Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) will be computed for each semester as follows:
�n �
� � cg �
� i i�
i =1
SGPA = � �
� n �
� � c �
� i�
� i =1 �
Where
‘n’ is the number of subjects for the semester,
‘ci’ is the number of credits allotted to a particular subject, and
‘gi’ is the grade-points awarded to the student for the subject based on his performance as per the above table.
SGPA will be rounded off to the second place of decimal and recorded as such.
(b) Cumulative Performance Index (CPI): An up to date assessment of the overall performance of a student from the time he
entered the Institute is obtained by calculating Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) of a student. The CPI is weighted average of
the grade points obtained in all the courses registered by the student since he entered the Institute. CPI is also calculated at the end of
every semester (upto two decimal places). .
Starting from the first semester at the end of each semester (S), a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) will be computed as
follows:
�m �
� � cg �
� i i�
CGPA = �i = 1 �
�m �
c
�� i �
� �
� i =1 �
Where
‘m’ is the total number of subjects from the first semester onwards up to and including the semester S,
‘ci’ is the number of credits allotted to a particular subject, and
‘gi’ is the grade-points awarded to the student for the subject based on his performance as per the above table.
CGPA will be rounded off to the second place of decimal and recorded as such.
(c) The CGPA, SGPA and the grades obtained in all the subjects in a semester will be communicated to every student at the end of
every semester / beginning of the next semester.
(d) When a student gets the grade ‘FF’, or I’ in any subject head during a semester, the SGPA and CGPA from that semester
onwards will be tentatively calculated, taking only ‘zero’ grade point for each such ‘FF’ or ‘I’ grade. When the ‘FF’ grade(s) has /
have been substituted by better grades after the repeat examination or subsequent semester examination, the SGPA and CGPA will be
recomputed and recorded.

5. Repeat End-Semester Examination
5.1. For those candidates who fail in a subject head or are eligible for appearing at the repeat examination, Repeat End-Semester
Examination will be conducted within one month from the declaration of the results of regular end-semester examination, as per
Regulation R.14.
5.2. The marks obtained by candidates in the in-semester examinations (continuous assessment and periodic test) will be carried
forward in such cases.
5.3. Grading the performance in the Repeat Examination: The grades will be assigned as per 3.5 and 3.6 above. However, for a
candidate taking any repeat examination or subsequent regular semester examination or performance improvement examination shall
be awarded one grade lower than that decided on the basis of the actual marks obtained; provided ‘EE’ grade obtained in such an
examination shall remain ‘EE’. For reference see the table below.

CD DD 5.5
DD EE 5.0
EE EE 5.0
5.4. Revaluation of end-semester and repeat examination: Candidate’s performance in these examinations will be displayed on
proper notice board and after 3 days of such display the marks will be sent to the Academic Office. No revaluation of these
examinations will be allowed.
A candidate shall be declared eligible for the award of a degree, if he/she has cleared all the semester examinations as given in (6)
above.
8.1 A candidate who has I grade in one or more heads of passing of an odd semester of an academic year shall be allowed to keep
terms for the respective even semester.
8.2. A candidate shall be allowed to keep terms for the subsequent academic year if he/she has FF or I grades in not more than two
heads of passing from all the heads of passing of the two terms of the previous academic year taken together. Such a candidate shall be
declared as FAILED, ATKT.
8.3. A candidate who has not cleared Semester-I and II as per clause 6 above shall not be eligible to register for semester-V and VI.
8.4. A candidate who has not cleared Semester-III and IV as per clause 6 above shall not eligible to register for semester-VII and VIII
9. Repeating a course
5 of 41
9.1 A student is required to repeat the course of a subject head under the following situations:
(a) A student who gets an XX, FR, or DR grade in a course; or
(b) A student has exhausted all permissible chances to clear the subject head.
9.2 A candidate from second, third and fourth years who remains absent for the regular end-semester examination of a semester and
the corresponding repeat examination for ALL SUBJECTS shall have to take fresh admission for the corresponding year; unless the
candidate has dropped out / terminated from the course.
9.3 If a candidate at the Second, Third or Fourth year fails to pass any semester examination in not more than 4 consecutive
examinations, including the repeat examinations, from the date of registering for the respective year, the candidate shall have to take
readmission for the corresponding year again in which the failure has occurred, provided the course is not changed.
A candidate will be allowed to appear at the entire examination after the regular end-semester examination as per the respective
rules to improve the performance. In such a case if the result of the examination repeated –
1. Is better than the previous one, the previous result shall be declared null and void; and
2. Is worse than the previous one, the result of the subsequent examination shall not be declared.
3. However, awarding of final grade will be made under the provision of sub clause 5.3 above.
11. Exit rules for poorly performing students
