3. ACADEMIC SYSTEM

The academic system at NIT, Jalandhar is framed on a credit-based semester

examination system. The credit system envisages a continuous evaluation of
student's performance, and provides flexibility for academic progress at an optimum
pace based on individual ability and convenience, subject to the constraint of the
minimum requirements for continuation in the academic programme.

The student is awarded a letter grade from the prescribed grading system in each
course registered by him. For each pass grade, the student accumulates the course
credits as earned credits. The academic performance of the student is indicated in
terms of the number of credits that he/she earns and the weighted grade point
average. A specified minimum number of credits should be acquired on semester or
session basis in order to qualify for continuation in the academic programme and the
award of degree.

Grades
The grading system, the evaluation in terms of marks is replaced by the award of
letter grades. The structure and guidelines for award of grades are given as under:

Grade Point Description of performance Recommended

cut off Marks*

S 10 Outstanding 90
A 09 Excellent 80

B 08 Very Good 70

C 07 Good 60

D 06 Average 50

E 05 Marginal 40

U - Unsuccessful -

I - Incomplete -

W - Withheld due to shortage of -

attendance or withdrawal

NP - Audit Pass -
NF - Audit Fail -
*Subject to confirmation based on standard deviation, if the sample size is
greater than 20, and is flexible to the recommendations of the individual course

4|Page
 NITJ B.Tech. Regulations
The grades will be awarded to a student in each registered course, based on
his/her performances evaluated through a prescribed scheme of evaluation. In
theory courses, the evaluation is weighted on class tests, assignment and end
semester examinations in prescribed proportions. The recommended weightage
for class tests is 40%, for assignments 10% and for end semester’s examination is
50%. The credits for the course in which a student has obtained “E” (minimum
passing grade for a course) or a higher grade will be considered as credits earned
by him/her. For the other (elective) course in which U or W grade have been
obtained, the student may take the same course or any other course from the
same category when it is offered next. Further, ‘U’ grade secured in any course
stay permanently on the grade card. The weightage of these grades is not counted
in the calculation of the SGPA and CGPA.

An ‘I’ grade denotes incomplete performance in any course due to absence at the
end of semester. Upon completion of all course requirements, the ‘I’ grade is
converted to a regular grade.
These grades (NP and NF) are awarded in a course that the student opts to audit.
Audit applications are allowed during the first four weeks of a semester. The audit
pass (NP) grade is awarded if a minimum ‘E’ grade is obtained in the course and
attendance is above 75% in the classes. If either of these requirements is not
fulfilled the audit fail (NF) grade is awarded. In courses, where NP grade is
obtained, the corresponding course credits are considered in the calculation of
SGPA or CGPA.

W’ grade is awarded in a course where the student has opted to withdraw from the
course. Withdrawal from a course is permitted until one week after the class test-I.

Grade Point Averages

The performance of a student will be evaluated in terms of two indicates, viz, the
Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) which is the Grade Point Average for a
semester and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) which is the Grade Point
Average for all the completed semesters at any point of time. The SGPA is
calculated on the basis of grades obtained in all courses, except audit courses,
registered for in the semester.
SGPA =(Course credit x Grade point) except audit course
Course credits except audit courses
The CGPA is calculated on the basis of all pass grades, expect audit courses
obtained in all completed semester

CGPA =(Course credit x Grade point) for courses with pass grade except audit courses
(Course credits) of courses with pass grade except audit courses
