taking into account his / her performance in Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) and End Semester Examination (ESE).

12.2 The typical grades and their numerical equivalents on 10-point scale (called Grade Points) are as follows:

Performance Letter Grade Grade Points (Gi)

Superior S 10

Excellent A 9

Very Good B 8

Good C 7

Average D 6

Pass P 4

Fail F 0

12.3 F-Grade is a Fail Grade. The course in which the student has earned F-Grade will be termed as backlog Course.

12.4 In addition, there shall be a transitional M-grade. M-Grade for “Debarred” due to malpractice / indiscipline during examination.

12.5 The Institute shall follow absolute grading system. The grades will be awarded as under:

Grade Percentage Score (X)

S X > 90

A 80 < X < 90

B 70 < X < 80

C 60 < X < 70

D 45 < X < 60

P 35 < X < 45

F X < 35

12.6 For arriving at a grade obtained by a student in a particular course (subject), initially numeric marks obtained by the student out of 100 are to be determined. Once a numeric mark is obtained, the same is to be converted to a letter grade following the guidelines given in 12.5.

12.7 A Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) will be computed for each semester. The SGPA will be calculated as follows:

SGPA = 1 1

n n

i i i

i i

C G C

where „n‟ is the no. of courses (subjects) offered for the semester, „Ci‟ is the credits allotted to a particular course, „Gi‟ is the grade-points carried by the letter corresponding to the grade

awarded to the student for the course as illustrated in 12.2. 12.8 The SGPA would indicate the performance of the student in the semester to which it refers.

SGPA will be rounded off to the second place of decimal and recorded as such. 12.9 Starting from the second semester, at the end of each semester, a Cumulative Grade Point

Average (CGPA) will be computed for every student as follows:

CGPA = 1 1

m m

i i i

i i

C G C

where „m‟ is the total number of courses (subjects) the student has been offered from the first semester onwards upto and including the present semester, „Ci „and „Gi„ are as explained in 12.7.

12.10 The CGPA would indicate the cumulative performance of the student from the first semester up to the end of the semester to which it refers. CGPA will be rounded off to the second place of decimal and recorded as such.

12.11 SGPA and CGPA are calculated in consideration of only credits cleared, i.e. F-grade credits are not included for calculation.

13 SUPPLEMENTARY EXAMINATIONS 13.1 End Semester Examination (ESE) for each semester shall be conducted once in an academic

year. 13.2 A student who obtained the F-grade in a course (theory or practical) can appear in a

subsequent End Semester Examination (ESE) in the same course as supplementary candidate.

13.3 However the marks secured in Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) by the student in that course during the semester study shall remain unaltered.

13.4 The students those who have passed in the supplementary examination will be awarded

grade with ‘*’ marked on the courses passed in the supplementary.

13.5 Any candidate appearing for ESE in any course, after 2 years from his admission, shall be governed by the syllabus in force.

14 CONDITIONS FOR PROMOTION

14.1 A student shall have to satisfy the attendance requirements for the semester (as per the regulation No. 8) for promotion to the next higher semester.

15 GRADUATION REQUIREMENT 15.1 A student shall be declared to be eligible for award of the M.Tech. degree, if he / she has

registered and completed all the courses with a minimum P-grade scored in every course 15.2 Normally a student should complete all the requirements consecutively in 4 semesters (2
