he/she secures not less than 75% attendance in each semester. Attendance shall be aintained
by the Department concerned. Condonation of shortage of attendance to a maximum of 10%
in the case of single condonation and 20% in the case of double condonation in a semester
shall be granted by University remitting the required fee. Benefits of attendance may be
granted to students who attend the approved activities of the college/university with the
prior concurrence of the Head of the institution. Participation in such activities may be

certificate (within two weeks) in curricular/extracurricular activities (maximum 9 days in a
semester). Students can avail of condonation of shortage of attendance in a maximum of
four semesters during the entire programme (Either four single condonations or one double

get 65% attendance, he/she can move to the next semester only if he/she aquires 50%
attendance. In that case, a provisional registration is needed. Such students can appear for
supplementary examination for such semesters after the completion of the programme.Less
than 50% attendance requires Readmission.Readmission is permitted only once during the
entire programme.

Grace Marks: Grace Marks may be awarded to a student for meritorious achievements
in co-curricular activities (in Sports/Arts/NSS/NCC/Student Entrepreneurship) carried out
besides the regular hours. Such a benefit is applicable and limited to a maximum of 8
courses in an academic year spreading over two semesters. In addition, maximum of 6
marks per semester can be awarded to the students of UG Programmes, for participating in
the College Fitness Education Programme (COFE).

Course Evaluation:

The evaluation scheme for each course shall contain two parts

(1) Internal assessment (2) external evaluation

20% weight shall be given to the internal assessment. The remaining 8O% weight shall be
for the external evaluation.

Internal Assessment:

20% of the total marks in each course are for internal examinations. The internal assessment
shall be based on a predetermined transparent system involving written test, assignments,
seminars and attendance in respect of theory courses and lab test/records/viva and
attendance in respect of practical courses. Internal assessment of the project will be based on
its content, method of presentation, final conclusion and orientation to research aptitude.
Components with percentage of marks of Internal Evaluation of Theory Courses are:-

Assignment 20 %, Seminar 20 % and Test paper 40%, Classroom participation based on

attendance 20%

(If a fraction appears in internal marks, nearest whole number is to be taken)

Attendance of each course will be evaluated as below:-

To ensure transparency of the evaluation process, the internal assessment marks awarded to
the students in each course in a semester shall be notified on the notice board at least one
week before the commencement of external examination. There shall not be any chance
for improvement for internal marks. The course teacher(s) shall maintain the academic
record of each student registered for the course, which shall be forwarded to the college
Principal after obtaining the signature of both course teacher and HoD.

Moderation: a) Moderation shall be awarded subject to a maximum of 5 % of external total

marks to be awarded in Semester.

b) For a course concerned, the maximum of moderation awarded shall be limited to 10% of
the total marks to be awarded for the external course concerned.

c) If a student fails for a single course, this limit can be enhanced to 15% of external in the
course

d) However Board of examiners concerned, shall have the liberty to fix low percentage of
marks for moderation subjected to the conditions mentioned in a), b) and c)

External Evaluation:

External evaluation carries 80% of marks. External evaluation of Even (2, 4, and 6)
semesters will be conducted in centralized valuation camps immediately after the
examination. Answer scripts of Odd Semester (1, 3, and 5) examinations will be evaluated
by home valuation. All question papers shall be set by the university. The external
examination in theory courses is to be conducted with question papers set by external
experts. The evaluation of the answer scripts shall be done by examiners based on a well-
defined. Scheme of valuation and answer keys shall be provided by the University.

The project evaluation with viva can be conducted either internal or external
whichever may be decided by the BoS concerned. After the external evaluation only marks
are to be entered in the answer scripts. All other calculations including grading are done by
the university.
Revaluation:

In the new system of grading, revaluation is permissible. The prevailing rules of

revaluation are applicable to CUCBCSSUG 2014. Students can apply for photocopies of
answer scripts of external examinations. Applications for photocopies/Scrutiny/ revaluation
should be submitted within 10 days of publication of results. The fee for this shall be as
decided by the university.

INDIRECT GRADING SYSTEM

INDIRECT GRADING SYSTEM based on a 7 point scale is used to evaluate the

performance of students. Each course is evaluated by assigning marks with a letter grade
(A+, A, B, C, D, E or F) to that course by the method of indirect grading. An aggregate of E
grade with 40 % marks (after external and internal put together) is required in each course
for a pass and also for awarding a degree. Appearance for Internal Assessment (IA) and End
Semester Evaluation (ESE-external)) are compulsory and no grade shall be awarded to a
candidate if she/he is absent for IA/ESE or both.

For a pass in each course 40% marks or E grade is necessary. A student who fails to
secure a minimum grade for a pass in a course is permitted to write the examination along
with the next batch. After the successful completion of a semester, Semester Grade Point
Average (SGPA) of a student in that semester is calculated using the formula given below.
For the successful completion of a semester, a student should pass all courses. However, a
student is permitted to move to the next semester irrespective of SGPA obtained.

SGPA of the student in that semester is calculated using the formula

SGPA = Sum of credit points of all courses in a semester

Total credits in that semester

The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of the student is calculated at the end of a
programme. The CGPA of a student determines the overall academic level of the student in
a programme and is the criterion for ranking the students. CGPA can be calculated by the
following formula:

CGPA = Total credit points obtained in six semester's

Total credits acquired (120)

SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to two decimal places. CGPA determines the broad
academic level of the student in a programme and is the index for ranking students (in terms
of grade points). An overall letter grade (Cumulative Grade) for the entire programme shall
be awarded to a student depending on her/his CGPA.
