65% attendance in such a course. No marks or Letter Grade shall be allotted for these
activities.

8 Examinations and Assessment - The Grading System:

8.1 Grades will be awarded to indicate the performance of each student in each Theory
Subject, or Lab / Practicals, or Seminar, or Project, etc., based on the % marks
obtained in CIE + SEE (Continuous Internal Evaluation + Semester End Examination,
both taken together) as specified in Item 6 above, and a corresponding Letter Grade
shall be given.

8.2 As a measure of the student’s performance, a 10-point Absolute Grading System

using the following Letter Grades (UGC Guidelines) and corresponding percentage of
marks shall be followed:

% of Marks Secured Letter Grade

Grade Points
(Class Intervals) (UGC Guidelines)

11
 ≥ 90%, 10 O (Outstanding)

(≥ 80%, <90%) 9 A+ (Excellent)

(≥ 70%, < 80%) 8 A (Very Good)
(≥ 60%, < 70%) 7 B+ (Good)

(≥ 55%, < 60%) 6 B ( Average)

(≥ 50%, < 55%) 5 C (Pass)
(< 50%) 0 F(Fail)
Absent 0 Ab

8.3 A student obtaining F Grade in any Subject shall be considered ‘failed’ and is be
required to reappear as ‘Supplementary Candidate’ in the Semester End Examination
(SEE), as and when conducted. In such cases, his Internal Marks (CIE Marks) in those
Subjects will remain the same as those he obtained earlier.

8.4 A student not appeared for examination then ‘Ab’ Grade will be allocated in any
Subject shall be considered ‘failed’ and will be required to reappear as
‘Supplementary Candidate’ in the Semester End Examination (SEE), as and when
conducted.

8.5 A Letter Grade does not imply any specific Marks percentage and it will be the range
of marks percentage.

8.6 In general, a student shall not be permitted to repeat any Subject/ Course (s) only for
the sake of ‘Grade Improvement’ or ‘SGPA/ CGPA Improvement’.

8.7 A student earns Grade Point (GP) in each Subject/ Course, on the basis of the Letter
Grade obtained by him in that Subject/ Course. The corresponding ‘Credit Points’
(CP) is computed by multiplying the Grade Point with Credits for that particular
Subject/ Course.

Credit Points (CP) = Grade Point (GP) x Credits …. For a Course

8.8 The Student passes the Subject/ Course only when he gets GP ≥ 5(C Grade or above).

8.9 The Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is calculated by dividing the Sum of
Credit Points (∑CP) secured from ALL Subjects/ Courses registered in a Semester, by
the Total Number of Credits registered during that Semester. SGPA is rounded off to
TWO Decimal Places. SGPA is thus computed as:
… For each Semester

where ‘i’ is the Subject indicator index (takes into account all Subjects in a Semester),
‘N’is the no. of Subjects ‘REGISTERED’ for the Semester (as specifically required
and listed under the Course Structure of the parent Department), Ci is the no. of
Credits allotted to the ith Subject, and Gi represents the Grade Points (GP)
corresponding to the Letter Grade awarded for that ith Subject.

12
8.10 The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is a measure of the overall cumulative
performance of a student over all Semesters considered for registration. The CGPA is
the ratio of the Total Credit Points secured by a student in ALL registered Courses in
ALL Semesters, and the Total Number of Credits registered in ALL the Semesters.
CGPA is rounded off to TWO Decimal Places. CGPA is thus computed from the II
Semester onwards, at the end of each Semester, as per the formula:

… for all S semesters registered

(i.e., upto and inclusive of S semesters, S ≥ 2)

where ‘M’ is the TOTAL no. of Subjects (as specifically required and listed under the
Course Structure of the parent Department) the Student has ‘REGISTERED’ from the
1stSemester onwards upto and inclusive of the Semester S ( obviously M > N ), ‘j’ is
the Subject indicator index (takes into account all Subjects from 1 to S Semesters), C j
is the no. of Credits allotted to the jth Subject, and Gj represents the Grade Points
(GP)corresponding to the Letter Grade awarded for that jth Subject. After registration
and completion of I Semester however, the SGPA of that Semester itself may be taken
as the CGPA, as there are no cumulative effects.

8.11 For Calculations listed in Item 8.6 – 8.10, performance in failed Subjects/ Courses
(securing 'F' Grade) will also be taken into account, and the Credits of such
Subjects/Courses will also be included in the multiplications and summations.

9. Award of Degree and Class:

9.1 A Student who registers for all the specified Subjects/ Courses as listed in the Course
Structure, satisfies all the Course Requirements, and passes the examinations
prescribed in the entire PG Programme (PGP), and secures the required number of 68
Credits (with CGPA ≥ 5.0), shall be declared to have ‘QUALIFIED’ for the award of
the M.Tech. degree in the chosen Branch of Engineering and Technology with
specialization as he admitted.

9.2 Award of Class
