candidate is permitted to appear for two courses per semester only.

6. ATTENDANCE:
A student shall be eligible to appear for end semester examinations if he/she acquires a
minimum of 75% of attendance in aggregate of all the subjects in a semester.

3
EPS R-17
ii. The Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is the ratio of sum of the product of the number of credits with the
grade points scored by a student in all the courses taken by a student and the sum of the number of credits of all the
courses undergone by a student, i.e.
SGPA = Σ (Ci × Gi)/ Σ Ci
Where, Ci is the number of credits of the ith subject and Gi is the grade point scored by the student in the ith
course.
ii. The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) will be computed in the same manner taking into account all the
courses undergone by a student over all the semesters of a program, i.e.
CGPA = Σ (Ci × Si)/ Σ Ci
Where ‘Si’ is the SGPA of the ith semester and Ci is the total number of credits in that semester.

iii. Both SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points and reported in the transcripts.

iv. While computing the GPA/CGPA the subjects in which the student is awarded Zero grade points will also be
included.

Grade Point: It is a numerical weight allotted to each letter grade on a 10-point scale.
Letter Grade: It is an index of the performance of students in a said course. Grades are denoted by letters S, A, B, C,
D, E and F.

8. AWARD OF DEGREE AND CLASS:

After a student has satisfied the requirements prescribed for the completion of the program and is eligible for the

Class Awarded CGPA Secured

First Class with Distinction ≥ 7.5

First Class ≥ 6.5 < 7.5

Pass Class ≥ 4.0 < 5.5

(The marks in internal evaluation and external Examination shall be shown separately in the marks memorandum)
Further, CGPA to a maximum of extent of 0.05 shall be added which is just sufficient to effect change of class from
pass class to Second class, Second class to First class, First class to First class with distinction for all the courses
being offered, without adding any marks to the original marks secured by the students
A candidate shall be eligible for the award of respective degree if he/she satisfies the minimum academic
requirements in every subject and secures at least satisfactory report on his/her thesis / dissertation and viva-voce.

9. WITHHOLDING OF RESULTS
