Rules And Regulations

Basis of Grading

The grade in a course will be based on an overall evaluation of a students performance in assignments, class test, midterm examination, quizzes, term papers, project work, class participation, class attendance and semester final examination. Weightage will be fixed up by the Institute Committee. Grades will be determined by the teacher responsible for the course. In each semester, CGPA will be computed to determine the academic standing of the student in the program.

Repeating Course

A course may be taken only once for a grade, except when a student received a failing grade, which is recorded as F. Since passing of all courses individually is a degree requirement, the student must retake a failing course when offered, and must successfully complete the course. The grade earned on the retake will be shown in the transcript along with F grade earned in the first time the course was taken. But the grade earned on the course(s) repeated will be substituted for F in computing the CGPA. A course can be retaken only once.
