T
he erstwhile Travancore University established in 1937 by a royal promulgation of Sree
Chithira Thirunal Balaramavarma, the then Maharaja of Travancore was later recognized
as University of Kerala by a legislative enactment in 1957. The jurisdiction of the Kerala
University which once covered the whole territory of Kerala state is now limited to the districts of
Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Alappuzha (except Kuttanad Taluk) and some parts of Pathanamthitta
district consequent on the establishment of other Universities in the State. However, territorial
limitations could not contain the growth and development of the University. There are at present
223 affiliated Colleges under this University besides 41 teaching and Research Departments under
10 Schools, 32 University Study Centres and 17 Institutes of Technology. In addition to the
Departments of teaching, the University also has several centers for studies in special areas.

other important institutions under this University. Over the years the University has endeavored
remarkably well to achieve its objective of enlightening the minds of millions who embraced her in
their pursuit of knowledge and wisdom. The University has been re-accredited by NAAC with ‘A’
Grade in 2015 and secured the First Chancellors Award for the Best University in the State in
2015. The University has also been ranked 22nd in India by National Institutional Ranking Frame
Work (NIRF) of the MHRD, Govt. of India in 2018. Graduates of this University are held in high
esteem in all walks of life throughout the world. This is because of the maintenance of standards
in the conduct of courses and examinations.
THE SCHOOL OF DISTANCE EDUCATION, started in 1976, as a teaching and research
department of the University of Kerala, is one of the pioneering centers of distance learning in the
State. The institute was founded with the following objectives.

disadvantaged groups like those living in remote and rural areas, working people and women.
• Providing an innovative system of university level education which is both flexible and open
in terms of methods, pace of learning, eligibility for enrollment and age of entry.
• Providing an opportunity for upradation of skills and qualifications.
• Developing education as a lifelong activity to enable persons to update their knowledge or
acquire knowledge in new areas.
University of Kerala is one of the Universities in India having permanent full time teaching
faculty members for running the distance education programmes. In line with the efforts of the
UGC to stream line the distance learning mode, the SDE also redefined its programmes and
decided to offer programmes in those subjects / fields which are offered by the University through
regular mode from 2018 admission onwards. Accordingly, the School offers 26 programmes, both
UG and PG through distance mode of learning. The medium of instruction of all courses is English

(CE + ESE) as given below.
Percentage of Marks Grading Course / SCPA /CGPA Letter Grade

90 and above 9 and above A+ Outstanding
80 to < 90 8 to < 9 A Excellent
70 to < 80 7 to < 8 B Very Good
60 to < 70 6 to < 7 C Good
50 to < 60 5 to < 6 D Satisfactory
40 to < 50 4 to < 5 E Adequate
Below 40 <4 F Failure
There is no separate minimum for CE and ESE. But the minimum pass requirement of a
course shall be 4.0 or (E Grad).
Consolidation of SCPA: SCPA is obtained by dividing the sum of credit points (CP) obtained in a
semester by the sum of credits (C) taken in that semester. After the successful completion of a
semester, Semester Credit Point Average (SCPA) of a student in that semester shall be calculated,
Suppose the student has taken four courses each of four credits and two courses each of two
credits in a particular semester, after consolidating the Grade for each course. SCPA has to be
calculated as shown below:

Title Credit Marks Grades
Code (G=M/10) CP = C*G
01 ----- 4 82 A 8.2 32.8
02 ----- 4 60 C 6.0 24.0
02 ----- 4 50 D 5.0 20.0
02 ----- 4 45 E 4.5 18.0
02 ----- 2 75 B 7.5 15.0
02 ----- 2 40 E 4.0 8.0
Total ----- 20 119.8
*SCPA = Total Credit Points / Total Credits - 119.8/20. = 5.99 = D Grade

For the successful completion of a semester, a student shall have to score a minimum SCPA
4.00 (E Grade). However, the student shall be promoted to a subsequent semester irrespective of
SCPA score(s).
Consolidation of CCPA: An overall letter grade (Cumulative Grade) for the whole programme
shall be awarded to the student based on the value of CCPA using a seven point scale as given
below. It is obtained by dividing the sum of the credit points to all the courses taken by the student,
for the entire programme by the total number of credits.
Semester SCPA Credit Point (CP) SCPA Credit (C)

1 119 20
2 120 20
3 110 20
4 105 20
5 100 20
6 120 20
Total 674 120
*CCPA = Total Credit Points of all semesters / Total Credits of all semesters - 674 / 120 = 5.62 = D grade.
The marks of the courses taken over and above the minimum prescribed credits, shall not be
counted for computing CCPA.
