credits are determined by the number of contact hours per week.
For theory courses: 1 Credit = 1 Hour Lecture / Tutorial per week
For practical courses: 1 Credit = 2 or 3 contact hours per week
4.7.2 Course work in each semester is expressed in terms of a specified number of credits. A student
successfully completes a particular semester when he/she earns all the credits of that semester. A
student earns full credits for a Course registered if he/she secures letter grade E/S or higher.
4.7.3 Promotion of a student to higher semesters is based on securing a prescribed minimum number of
credits as mentioned in Section 4.14.
4.8 Assessment:
4.8.1 Student performance is continuously assessed in all courses, based on class/tutorial participation,
assignment work, lab work, class tests, in semester tests, quizzes and end semester examinations,
which contribute to the final grade awarded in the course. The academic performance of a student is
assessed by the course instructor(s) concerned.
4.8.2 The student performance in each theory course is evaluated out of 100 marks, of which 60 marks are
for in-semester assessments and 40 marks are for end-semester assessment. In-semester assessment
consists of one sessional examination of 30 marks and CWS of 30 marks.
4.8.3 The in-semester assessment in theory courses is based on periodic tests, assignments, quizzes, case
presentations, paper review, seminars, etc. which shall be defined by the course instructor.
4.8.4 The student performance in laboratory courses/Minor Project/ Experiential Learning is also evaluated
out of a maximum of 100 marks and is based on the in-semester assessment of 60 marks and end-
semester examination conducted for 40 marks. Absolute grading is to be applied to lab courses.
4.8.5 Course instructors are to give the complete course plan approved by the HoD to the students, at the
beginning of the semester. Course plan includes lesson plan & evaluation plan of the course offered.
4.8.6 Course instructors are to give regular feedback on the performance of students.
4.8.7 The performance of a student in a course is reflected in the Letter Grade awarded.
4.9.1 Students are expected to attend every lecture, tutorial and practical class scheduled for them.
Attendance will be recorded for every class in every course they attend.
4.9.2 A student with less than 75% attendance in individual courses shall not be permitted to write the end
semester examination in that course and will be given DT Letter Grade in the course.
4.10.1 10-point grading system shown is used for awarding letter grade in each course.
5
4.10.2 The overall performance of a student in each semester is indicated by the Grade Point Average (GPA)
which is the weighted average of the grade points obtained in that semester expressed as
∑𝑛𝑖=1 𝐶𝑖 𝐺𝑖
𝐺𝑃𝐴 =
∑𝑛𝑖=1 𝐶𝑖
where,
n=number of courses graded per semester
C = Course credits
G = Grade points
4.10.3 The overall performance of the student for the entire program is indicated by the Cumulative Grade
Point Average (CGPA) which is the weighted average of the grade points obtained across all semesters
till date.
∑𝑁𝑖=1 𝐶𝑖 𝐺𝑖
𝐶𝐺𝑃𝐴 =
∑𝑁 𝑖=1 𝐶𝑖
4.10.4 A student who earns a minimum of 5-grade points (E grade) in a course and S (satisfactory) grade in a
mandatory learning course(s) is declared to have successfully completed the course and earned the
credits assigned to it.
4.10.5 Student must secure minimum 35% and 40% of marks both end term exam and overall respectively
for UG and PG course examination, to get a passing grade in any theory course.
4.10.6 A student who is eligible for, but fails to appear in, the end-semester examination will be awarded 'F'
Grade. However, if he/ she fails to appear in the end semester examination due to valid reasons,
(including medical, non-payment of dues or other family reasons) he/she will be awarded an 'I'
(incomplete) grade. Relaxation to the award of 'I' grade is permissible, only if prior approval has been
obtained before the start of the examinations.
4.10.7 If a student is not eligible to appear in the end-semester examination owing to his/her not fulfilling the
minimum attendance requirements in any course, he/she will be awarded a 'DT' grade (detained) and
the student has to re-register for the course(s) at the next available opportunity.
4.10.8 A student should have appeared for the end-semester examination of the prescribed course of study
(mere appearance in the continuous assessment tests is not sufficient) to be eligible for the award of
a passing grade in the course. A separate minimum of 35% and 40% of marks in the end semester
examination is essential for awarding a passing grade in a theory course of UG and PG courses
respectively.
6
4.11.2.3 There will be a mid-term evaluation of the work after about 18 weeks by the department
concerned.
4.11.2.3 The final evaluation will be conducted after the completion of the project work and
submission of the dissertation by a panel of examiners consisting of an internal guide.
4.11.2.4 In case of external projects, the qualitative feedback of the external guide shall be considered
during mid-semester evaluation.
7
4.14.2 M. Tech. Courses: A student can start the project work at the beginning of the third semester only if
she/he has acquired 40 credits at the end of the second semester, and he/she has to earn all the
credits of the first and second semesters, before he /she is permitted to submit the project thesis.
4.20.5 If a student fails to complete the academic formalities with in n + 2 years from the year of joining (n)
he/she is not eligible to get the degree from MUJ

course (by comparing the curricula and credit/duration of the courses).
9
5.4.1.2 A maximum of 20% to 40% of the credits of the semester can be fulfilled via the
SWAYAM/NPTEL MOOC platforms.
• The course duration should be:
o 4-6 weeks for 1 or 2 -credit courses,
o 8-12 weeks for 3 credit courses, and
o Minimum 12 weeks for 4 credit courses.
• The course must be actively running and aligned with the academic calendar of MUJ ensuring
completion of the course (including examination and certification) by the last instruction day
of the semester.
5.4.1.3 The evaluation scheme/grading policy for credit transfer of the SWAYAM/NPTEL courses is
as follows:
• If the SWAYAM/NPTEL course is being treated as supplementary material for evaluation of the
CWS component, then the existing grading policy will apply.
• If a student
o Needs to clear DT grade for a course,
o Needs to complete a bridge course as a lateral entry student,
o Takes a course with prior approval from departmental BoS and Directorate of
Academics
o Wishes to take an advanced course.
via the SWAYAM/NPTEL platforms, then their score and credits in that course awarded by the
SWAYAM/NPTEL platforms will be directly transferred. Marks scored on the SWAYAM/NPTEL platforms for
the certain course will be considered for grading at MUJ as per the existing policy of ‘absolute grading’. The
same will be used for the GPA and CGPA calculations.
