b. Grace Marks awarded to a student in a subject will not be added to the total marks obtained by
the student. Also, the grade 'E#' will not carry any grade point and therefore, the SGPANGPA
of the student shall remain the same.

c. The grade sheet of the student will display the grade awarded after Grace Marks ( 'E#' or another
appropriate grade as per the individual ordinance of the particular course). The subjects in which
the student is awarded Grace Marks shall be mentioned in the result displayed on the university
website as well on the grade sheets of the student.

d. The Grace Marks cannot be ca1Tied forward. Therefore, if the marks are not availed in a particular
year of study, it will lapse.

e. A student who has cleared all the subjects of a particular semester as per the ordinance however,
his/her SGPA (semester grade point average) in the semester is less than the minimum passing
criteria as laid down by the university ordinance, can be awarded a grace in form of (grade
point) credit normalization up to 0.25 provided he/she can be declared to have passed the
academic year by the award of these grace credit marks.
For example,

l. For a B Tech student, in an academic year, if the aggregate SGPA for the student is 4.75
in any semester then his SGPA shall be nonnalized by adding 0.25 grace (grade point)
credits provided his other semester's SGPA is equal to or more than 5.0.

2. Similarly, if the SGPA of a B Tech student in odd semester is 4.90 and in even semester
is 4.85 semester or vice versa, then he may be eligible to get a grace credits of 0.1 and
0.15 credits (grade point) for odd and even semester respectively (Total grace credits 0.1+
0.15 = 0.25) and the student will be declared as pass in the respective semesters and
that academic year. However, the SGPA/YGPA/CGPA of the student shall remain the
same.

3. Similar rule shall be applicable to all other courses under CBCS and other.
f. A student willing to remove his grace marks from his result can apply in writing, within 60 days
of the declaration of result through a notarized affidavit, to withdraw his grace marks directly to
the university or through his institute. He can then appear in that paper in the respective odd/even
semester examination of the next academic year to improve his grades as per the university rules.
However, he will lose his claim to restore the revoked Grace Marks.

g. Grace marks shall not be applicable to the subjects studied under MOOCs, if any, whose internal
assessment and the end semester examination is not conducted by the university.

h. Grace marks shall not be applicable to the qualifying subjects for Lateral Entry students in which
the students have to simply clear the subjects. Similarly, grace marks shall not be applicable to
any subject offered as an Audit subject.

1. PhD students carrying out their coursework with the university by appearing in postgraduate level
subjects shall not be eligible for the grace marks.
