 subject. Each letter grade is assigned a numeric Grade Point that is used to
compute Grade Point Average on a scale of 0 to 10
8.2 Performance of a student in both internal assessment and End examination
will be considered for awarding grades for credit bearing subjects. Total
marks earned in a subject is the sum of marks obtained in internal and End
examinations in that subject
8.3 Pass grade A+ to D- is assigned to a subject based on total marks earned in
that subject provided that a student earns at least i) 35% of marks in End
examination marks and ii) 40% of marks in internal and End examination
marks put together; otherwise fail grade F will be assigned to that subject
8.4 Grade I will be assigned to a subject if a disciplinary action is pending and is
not resolved before publication of results. Office of Controller of
Examinations shall resolve the pending disciplinary action within six
working days from the date of publication of results and change the grade to
any of A+ to D- or F
8.5 Grade X will be assigned to a subject if a student abstains for End
examination of that subject
8.6 The absolute marks and corresponding letter grade and grade points are
given in Table2
