1. Vision, Mission & Values

Vision
To be an institution of excellence nurturing responsible global leaders for the greater common good
and a sustainable future.

Mission
 To disseminate knowledge in management through a portfolio of educational programs and
publications
 To extend frontiers of knowledge through relevant and contextual research
 To nurture responsive ethical leaders sensitive to environment and society
 To encourage critical thinking and continuous improvement
 To inculcate a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship

Values

Inspired by the Jesuit spirit of “Magis”, XLRI will be guided by the following values:

 Ethical Conduct  Inclusiveness and Tolerance

 Integrity and Trust  Creativity and Innovation
 Passion for Excellence  Global Mindset
 Sensitive Social Conscience

2. Assurance of Learning
At XLRI, we work towards achieving certain learning expectations that are commonly identified as
our program learning goals. We believe that the learning goals denote the desired forms of students’
learning, thinking and their behaviour. These goals convey to students and faculty the educational
outcomes towards which they are working and help in setting priorities, designing their learning
experiences, and fulfilling their educational expectations. While the learning goals cannot be
exhaustively stated for any higher education program, it is possible to set educational targets and
to assure that the learning is progressing in the specified direction. The learning expectations are
derived from a balance of internal and external contributions to the definition of primary educational
goals. Stakeholders representing different segments of society such as faculty members, students,
industry fraternity, civil society and workers’ community contribute valuable perspectives on the
needs of our graduates. These are what our graduates should value, comprehend and be able to
associate with.

Assurance of these learning goals is therefore our highest priority. As an initial and critical step in
its manifestation of learning, we developed a list of the learning goals for which it will demonstrate
the assurance of learning. The list is in consonant with our Mission that set out our intentions, values
and how our programs demonstrate our Mission. The learning goals, therefore, describe the desired
educational accomplishments of various programs that we offer by translating the more general
statement of the Mission into the educational accomplishments of our graduates.

Our endeavour is essentially twofold as we intend to help students to realize their full potential in
their journey to become successful managers & entrepreneurs and aim at creating and
disseminating knowledge through our research and degree programs.

3
 In deriving the learning goals from these strong underlying missions, we hold (i) improvement
orientation and quest for excellence, (ii) sound decision making and (iii) developing subject matter
expertise and acquiring functional knowledge in one’s area, (iv) developing sustainability mindset
(v) inculcating ethical conduct viz., recognizing the importance of businesses to operate in a manner
that is legal, ethical, profitable, and within social norms (vi) openness to and awareness of diversity
cross cultures, and (vii) developing communication and influence skills of our graduates as, seven
learning goals that are in harmony with our mission statements. Further details on learning goals
and their sub-dimensions can be obtained from the faculty teaching a course or the office of the
Dean on request.

Every core and elective course offered in a program is designed to meet one or two learning goals.
Since it will be less of a challenge for the students to meet those goal(s) if they know what they
should be able to do by the end of the course, an outline detailing the course content, curriculum,
session plan, pedagogy and evaluation shall carry necessary information concerning assurance of
learning goal(s). The outline, in effect, shall reach students before the classroom learning begins
in every term.

At the end of a term, a student shall receive feedback (from faculty) on a 4-point scale that would
reflect on the extent to which s/he fulfilled the educational expectations set through a specific
learning goal in the given course. The score will be sufficiently indicative in demonstrating whether
s/he is progressing in the specified direction. Institute as well as an individual student has right to
exhibit the learning goal scores, wherever desired or obligatory. Institute may assign designated
weightage to these scores in determining a students’ overall rank for medals, etc. (Nevertheless,
student’s CQPI shall not reflect her/his performance on learning goal(s) for individual course as well
as aggregate).

4. Academic Year
The academic year consists of three Terms. The average duration of each Term is approximately
11 weeks. Terms I, II & III refer to the first-year students and Terms IV, V & VI refer to the second-
year students.

5. Registration
5.1 All students are required to register in person on the Registration Day as indicated for each Term
in the Calendar. The student who fails to register without prior permission will be deemed
to have left the programme. A student who does not register within 72 hours of the time
specified for registration is liable to be directed to withdraw from the programme with no stigma
attached. If, however, the student does not withdraw from the programme within 48 hours after
being so directed, s/he will be liable for expulsion from the Institute.

5.2 Registration for Term I:

(a) A Preparatory Programme is conducted on virtual mode for the first-year students on Excel,
Accounting and Quantitative Techniques. This is scheduled before the students arrive on
campus.
(b) When the students arrive on campus, an Orientation programme is held following the
Welcome programme and Registration. Attendance for the same is compulsory unless
informed to and approved by the Dean’s office.
(c) First year students must register for Term-I on the date of Registration specified by the
Dean’s Office. Students whose final year mark-sheets are awaited, should submit them latest
as specified by the Dean’s Office. Failing which the admission stands automatically
cancelled. The modes of registration are as follows:
Registration: All student details – personal, academic, and work experience are to be
submitted online by the students during the online registration process.
Document Verification: The details filled-in by the students during the online registration
process are verified during the document verification. The students must carry the original
copy of all supporting documents of Academic qualifications and work experience as
applicable [Exact date of Document Verification and Manual Registration of Term – I will
be communicated by the Dean’s Office (Academics)]. Also bring one passport size
photograph.

5.3 Registration for Other Terms:

(a) In all Terms, except Term I, students are required to register on the first day of the Term,
unless permitted by the Dean to register on a later date (refer 5.1). A student, who fails to
register on the first day of the Terms [except Term I], will be allowed to register only
after s/he has obtained special permission from the Dean, subject to his/her paying a
late-fee, which in no case shall be less than 2,000/- per day.
(b) Second year students resuming after summer internship must submit a certificate of
completion, issued by the summer project guide (from the organization where the summer
project was undertaken), at the time of registration for Term IV. A student, who fails to submit
the certificate as mentioned above, will be given provisional entry to second year. Failure
to submit the summer project completion certificate within four weeks from the date of
registration [Term – IV], will disqualify the student for the award of the diploma [also see
Qualifying Standards Section 21.2 (a)].

6. Curriculum Design
6.1 The academic programmes consist of Core (compulsory) and Elective (optional) courses.
6.2 Core courses in the programme are designed to:

5
 (a) provide basic conceptual and analytical knowledge and inculcate attitudes and skills
necessary for managerial effectiveness.
(b) develop an integrated view of organizational and managerial functioning and an
understanding of the interdependencies of subsystems; and
(c) create an awareness and understanding of environmental forces impinging on managerial
behavior.
6.3 The elective courses provide an opportunity for concentration on focus areas to enable the
student to cope with the demands of the job in the early years of his/her professional career.
6.4 A copy of the Syllabus is available on the AIS. The syllabus is only an indicative tool. The detailed
course structure would be given by faculty teaching the course.

7. Course Workload
7.1 A 3 credit course is taken as a full course for the purpose of calculating the number of courses
completed for a programme. Other courses of different credits are calculated accordingly (e.g.
1.5 credit course is equivalent to a half course and 4.5 credit course is equivalent to one and a
half course for the purpose of calculating workload). A student is expected to put in at least 100
hours of work in a 3-credit course including 30 contact hours in class. In case of a 1.5 credit
course, the time devoted would be 50 and 15 hours respectively. Accordingly, a 4.5 credit course
would require 150 hours of work including 45 contact hours.
7.2 The total credits for BM program shall be a minimum of 105 credits and HRM program shall be a
minimum of 108 credits. A maximum of 114 credits is permissible for BM and HRM. The nine
credits or 3 extra courses for BM and in HRM six credits or 2 extra courses, could be anything
that students want to study. For PGDHRM program, the three extra credits are for a core course
titled MIS which will be offered to students in the 1st year. This course will be taught in the first
term with one credit and the remaining two credits shall be covered in Term III.
7.3 The total number of credits for the core courses are 66 (Sixty-six) for HRM and 63 (Sixty-three)
for BM. The Term-wise distribution of credits in the first year for HRM shall be 20-23-23 and BM
shall be 21-22-20 as applicable. The elective courses are not offered in the first year but during
Term IV, V & VI in the second year.
7.4 A minimum of 42 (Forty–Two) credits are required from Elective courses to qualify for Diploma in
BM and HRM.
7.5 The Minimum & Maximum number of credits (including Dissertation, Special Elective Course,
Extra Credit Course and CIS) in any given Term in second year should be between 12-18 credits.
However, the minimum & maximum number of credits that students going for the Exchange
Program in Term V should be between 12-15 credits in their respective foreign universities.

8. Outbound Programme
The objective of the Outbound programme is to develop leadership and teamwork through
adventure activities. The programme includes overnight camping and other outdoor activities.
Attendance in the outbound programme is mandatory for the students.

9. Rural Immersion
A rural immersion programme is also mandatory for the students. The students are expected to
stay in the villages and study some of their practices and issues relating to rural India. Attendance
in the rural immersion programme is mandatory for the students.

10. Attendance
10.1 It is mandatory for the students to be regular and punctual in all the classes, without
exception. Individual faculty members may, at their discretion, assign some weightage to

6
 attendance, quizzes/surprise quizzes in class and class participation in the evaluation of the
course. In such an event, absenteeism on the part of the student may adversely affect the course
evaluation components that require the presence of students in class.
10.2 Any absence occasioned by an emergency whether personal or professional must be notified to
and approved by the PGDBM / PGDHRM Office in advance and the student will then inform all
faculty member(s) concerned whose class(es) they will be missing during the leave. The
students in BM and HRM programmes shall apply for their long leaves on the leave portal
(link provided on AIS) and the respective programme offices will take a decision. In case
the ground for leave is outside the common grounds construed as an emergency, the
Dean Office shall decide on the reasonability and genuineness of the ground for leave
applied by the student. The attendance of each session shall be recorded by the faculty
members in Academic Information System (LMS) during the session latest by the end of the day.
Else, any such absence without prior approval of the Dean Office (Academics) will be considered
as a serious breach of discipline. In such cases, a fine of INR 2000/- per day will be levied. The
student may even be directed to withdraw from the programme with no stigma attached.

The attendance of each session by the faculty member/TA shall be recorded in the Academic
Information Systerm (LMS) during the session or latest by the end of the day.

10.3 Attendance during Institute Functions is compulsory. The list of the mandatory attendance
Functions are:
a. Alumni Homecoming
b. Dr JRD Tata Oration
c. Dr Varghese Kurien Memorial Oration
d. Ensemble-Valhalla
e. Marketing Fair
f. Republic Day and Independence Day Celebrations.
A fine of ₹ 2,000/- will be imposed for not attending in any of the above-mentioned functions.

10.4 For both first year and second year BM & HRM students no penalty based on attendance will be
applied if a student is absent from classes due to participation in competitions approved by the
Faculty Placement Committee and communicated to the Dean’s Office (Academics) before the
competitions, provided the student has more than the mandated minimum 80% attendance.
A student can attend maximum 5 “approved competitions” by the Faculty Placement Committee
in a year.
10.5 Students should ensure that the attendance requirements, as stipulated in this section, are met
irrespective of any compulsions. Absence for attending any activity except for the one mentioned
in 10.4, is also treated similarly for calculating attendance as per Section 10.9
10.6 The Dean or the faculty will not be responsible, if the student suffers loss in the evaluation of any
segment on account of his absence. The faculty may administer make-up tests/assignments
only to those students who remained absent with prior permission. However, for the
purpose of calculating the number of classes missed, there is no distinction between leave
sanctioned or not sanctioned, or any other case. The total classes missed would be used
for calculating the grade deduction by the Dean’s Office (Academics).
10.7 The faculty in discussion with the Dean’s Office (Academics) shall be free to adopt a strict
measure to regulate attendance, penalize absence and ensure smooth and undisturbed
learning in the class. The special attendance norms will be specified beforehand in the
course outline. Similarly, the faculty may assign marks for attendance and can reduce the
marks / grade point for low attendance which may be stricter than the Institute’s policy on
evaluation.

7
10.8 If a student puts in less than 50% attendance in 3 (three) courses or more, he will be required to
withdraw from the programme. Before the end term, each faculty shall report the specific cases
of student(s) who have got less than 50% attendance.
10.9 In case the faculty does not have any absence penalty explicitly specified in the Course Outline,
the Institute’s policy on absence will be implemented as given below.
Attendance Range No. of Classes Grade Reduction
80 - 100% 16 & more classes No Grade Loss
70 – 75% 14-15 classes Less One Grade Point
55 – 65% 11-13 classes Less Two Grade Points
0 – 50% <=10 classes Repeat the Course

10.10 However, a student would not be punished twice on account of attendance. That is, if a course
has a penalty for each class missed and a student loses a grade because of marks for
attendance, then the student would not be penalized again by another grade loss.

11. Waiver
11.1 A student may be granted waiver in respect of a core course, provided the course faculty and the
Dean-Academics are satisfied that he has adequate knowledge of the course. In such an event,
he stands exempted from attending the classes of that course.
11.2 To qualify for a waiver, a student must
(a) make a request, in writing, to the Dean’s Office (Academics) through the course faculty for
the waiver at the beginning of the Term;
(b) take a written qualifying test designed by the faculty teaching the course to ascertain the
knowledge of the student in the course; and submit a written assignment(s) as prescribed
by the course faculty.
11.3 The grade for the course will be determined on the basis of the performance of the student in the
qualifying test and the written assignment(s).
11.4 Waiver is however, not allowed for students who are repeating the year or repeating certain
course(s) due to poor academic performance earlier.

12. Summer Project

12.1 Summer project investigates some significant aspects of a managerial problem. It gives students
an opportunity to observe a business organisation in operation and to sharpen their knowledge
and skills by putting them to use. Besides providing an opportunity to enhance their
understanding of managerial problems, summer project also gives students practical experience
that will help them to plan their careers.
12.2 Summer Project is a compulsory non-credit course. A student is required to do a Summer Project
on any aspect of HRM / BM, as applicable, in industry for eight to ten weeks at the end of the first
year (April 1st week to June 1st week). While registering for Term IV, a student must submit to
Dean’s Office (Academics), a summer project satisfactory completion certificate from the
summer project company guide [refer Section 5.3 (b) and Section 24.2 (a)]. In case of any
delay, approved by the Dean, the student shall submit SPCC before the mid-term week of the 4th
term in our Institute format.
12.3 Students will be entitled to receive the Diploma only after completing the summer project
satisfactorily. A student who receives an “unsatisfactory” remark will have to undergo another
Summer Project in order to become eligible to receive the Diploma. The student and faculty shall
make endeavours to publish ……. as an article in a suitable journal.
12.4 Students who receive adverse comments from their company guides will be liable for disciplinary
action and will have to complete another summer project or must do whatever is required to get
a satisfactory completion certificate from the company.

8
12.5 It is mandatory to submit a Project Report of 5000 words.
12.6 Students on a Sabbatical will be interning with their company.

13. Dissertation
13.1 Dissertation is optional. A student can opt for a dissertation in lieu of a 3-credit elective course in
Term V. Students will be allowed to drop those courses, where, by dropping, the number of
creditors will not go below 20. However, only those students meeting the following criteria will
be eligible to do dissertation on a topic of their choice in a related field of HRM or BM.
(a) HRM students doing Dissertation should have CQPI of 5.500 upto Term III and also an average
of 6.000 in related courses as follows:
(a) For OB related topic OB I, OB II and OB III
(b) For HR related topic FHRM, PMA, HRP and WADA
(c) For IR / Law related topic Fundamentals of Labour Laws, Fundamentals of Industrial
Relations, Employment Relations Law: Law of Industrial Relations, Employment
Relations Law: Law of Social Security.
It is the student’s responsibility to check whether he is eligible for doing Dissertation.
(b) BM students should have a CQPI of 5.500 upto Term III and also an average of 6.000 in the
functional area of the Dissertation topic.
Dissertation shall not be counted in any Area of Concentration.
13.2 The dissertation will be in lieu of a 3-credit elective course and is taken into account for the
computation of QPI and CQPI like any other full credit course and shall be added to the courses
scheduled in Term V.
13.3 Students should directly contact the faculty for guidance in the dissertation.
13.4 In case the dissertation topic is such that it requires the guidance of a part-time or visiting faculty,
the concerned Area Chairperson, in consultation with the Dean’s Office (Academics), may permit
the student to undertake the study under the guidance of the part-time or visiting faculty. No part-
time or visiting faculty can act as a dissertation guide for more than 2 [two] students in all. No
full-time faculty member can act as a guide for more than 5 [five] students in all.
13.5 Where the dissertation topic involves study covering more than one discipline, the student may,
with the approval of the primary guide, opt for a secondary (joint) guide from the relevant
discipline. The dissertation will, however, be evaluated by the primary guide in consultation with
the secondary guide.
13.6 The dissertation proposal should be finalized by the date as specified by Dean’s Office i.e., the
proposal form with the faculty guide(s) signature should be submitted to Dean’s Office. Failure to
submit a signed proposal from the faculty guide would be equivalent to a student not being
interested in taking up the Dissertation.
13.7 Dissertation report should be submitted on a date specified by the Dean’s Office but not later
than the end of Term-V.
13.8 Dissertation Grading: The Dissertation guide has to choose two other members of Faculty [at
least one from their area) in consultation with Associate Dean, FPM and Research for evaluation
and grading of the Dissertation.
13.9 The student and the faculty guide shall make endeavours to publish dissertation as an article in
a suitable journal.
14. Electives
14.1 Students are required to choose electives for their second year of study in order to complete the
minimum requirement of 105 credits for BM and 108 for HRM (the maximum being 114 credits).

9
14.2 In the BM programme, to fulfill the 42 credits (equivalent to 14 electives of 3 credits each), a
student is free to choose from the elective courses offered to them. A student must choose
elective courses from at least two areas. No student will be allowed to opt for more than 30
credits (equivalent to 10 elective courses) from any one area. However, to fulfill the requirement
of area(s) of concentration, a student is required to do an equivalent of five 3-credit electives
or 15 credits in total (which could be in the form of 3 credits or 1.5 credits) in an area listed
below:
(a) Economics
(b) Finance
(c) Information Systems
(d) Marketing
(e) Production, Operations & Decision Sciences
(f) Strategy

A student can opt for a maximum of two areas only for concentration. A few elective courses
are common to more than one area as mentioned in the Syllabus. Such type of electives will be
counted in one area only as per the choice of the student. Students of BM programme
including those going for Exchange Programme will not be allowed to take a course
exclusively offered to the students in HRM programme and vice-versa.

14.3 Since the HRM programme itself is a specialized programme, there are no separate areas of
concentration. Students are required to choose 42 credits from the elective courses offered to
them. Out of these, a minimum of 18 credits (equivalent to six electives) should be from those
listed under the head “HRM Area” in the Syllabus. An HRM student may, if s/he so desires, opt
for a maximum of 12 credits from Economics, Information Systems and/or Strategy Areas.

15. Pre-Registration of Elective Courses

15.1 The elective courses to be offered in the 2nd year will be announced in the month of March before
the students go for the Summer Training. An open house where faculty/Area Chairperson
clarifies the questions of students.

15.2 Electives which have a ceiling on the number of students, the concerned faculty will announce
the final list of selected students for each elective. Students who have registered for an elective
in AIS but have not been selected for the course will be given a chance to opt for another elective.
Detailed information on date(s) for registration and finalization of electives for 2nd year will be
announced in Term – 3 of the first year. Students need to strictly adhere to the deadlines, as
no changes in electives would be permitted after the deadlines.
15.3 Faculty, in consultation with the area, may evolve suitable criteria to select students for their
electives. Such criteria will normally be based on:
(a) the academic background, aptitude and level of performance of the students in related
courses; and
(b) the number of students that can be admitted to the elective given the pedagogy of the course.
(c) Or any other criteria which the Faculty and the Area jointly decides.

16. Dropping of Elective Courses

16.1 In order to offer an elective course, there should be a minimum registration of 20 creditors failing
which the elective course will be dropped.
16.2 In the event of an elective being dropped as stated above, the students will be given option to
register for other electives (as per Section 15.2).

17. Scheduling of classes

10
 The class schedule will be regularly updated in the Class Schedule System (CSS). No student
shall be allowed to approach the faculty for rescheduling of the classes. In rare
circumstance, any such request needs to be made to the Dean’s Office (Academics).

18. Course of Independent Study (CIS)

18.1 The CIS allows for an in-depth exploration of a topic in the student’s field of concentration or area
of special interest. It allows the integration of several fields of study in searching for the solution
of a single problem. It provides valuable experience in the research process, definition of the
problem, search for relevant data, analysis of the data and drawing conclusions and implications
from it.

An acceptable CIS may take many forms. It may be a case study, describing and analyzing a
particular incident, illuminating a variety of managerial problems. The CIS may take the form of
a study in which the pertinent elements of a policy problem are studied and weighed to reach
conclusions as to possible courses of action. The CIS may be a historical study, analyzing and
searching for implications in a particular period. It may involve the design of a new method or a
comparison of pertinent factors in two or more methods. The CIS may, of course, consist of the
formulation and testing a hypothesis relevant to management. Data sources are: books, articles,
published reports, results of interviews, response to questionnaires, etc.

18.2 A student can opt for a CIS, if the identified topic is not offered as an elective. That is, a student
cannot do a CIS on a topic which is offered as an elective. The approval of the CIS topic (as
described in Section 16.5) has to be completed in the Term preceding the Term in which the CIS
is planned to be taken up.
18.3 Second year students may opt for a maximum of 1 (one) CIS, over and above the minimum
number of elective courses specified (subject to Section 7.4). The grade obtained in CIS shall
not be taken into account for the computation of QPI / CQPI. The CIS topic will, however, be
shown in the Final Transcript along with the grade obtained.
18.4 A student is required to have a faculty guide for the CIS. The responsibility for securing a faculty
guide rests with the student. The selection of topic, meetings with the faculty guide and other
course related interactions are also left to the initiative of the student.

18.5 After the topic has been finalized, the student undertaking the CIS has to submit a brief synopsis
to the faculty concerned. The synopsis is circulated among the area faculty for suggestions.
After incorporating suggestions received from the area, the proposal has to be sent to Dean’s
Office (Academics). The Dean may forward it to other areas, if he feels that inputs from other
areas may enrich the study. Subsequent to this, the Dean’s Office (Academics)would approve
the CIS.
18.6 Performance on the CIS is evaluated by the standards of

 good scholarship and integrity,

 courtesy in crediting sources of information,
 objective standards of precision, logic and use of evidence,
 imagination and
 the ability to reach and state defensible conclusion.
18.7 The CIS should be manageable in terms of time and effort. No student is permitted to choose a
topic likely to be classified as confidential, for reasons of national security, or restricted for
proprietary or other similar reasons.

18.8 Faculty guiding a CIS has the discretion to decide the criteria for evaluation. However, the
student must make an open-house presentation after completing the study.

18.9 A student failing to complete an approved CIS in time would result in the award of an Incomplete
grade for CIS. As a result, the student would not be eligible for the Diploma with the
Incomplete Grade.

11
19. Examinations
19.1 Students should report at the examination venue at least 10 minutes before the scheduled time
and take their seats according to the randomized roll number chart put up on the notice board.
Students reporting late to the examination venue will not be permitted to enter for first 10
minutes of the exam.
19.2 Students are expected to equip themselves with a pen, pencil, ruler, calculator etc. Borrowing
of books, study material, calculators etc., is not permitted in the examination venue.
19.3 Students must fill in the particulars on the cover page of answer booklet/additional booklet before
proceeding to attempt any question.
19.4 A student must not refer to any book, paper or other notes, unless it is an open-book examination.
Except for open-book examinations, all books and study material must be left outside the
examination venue. The Institute will not be held responsible for the loss or theft of any material
from within or outside the examination venue. Students are, therefore, advised to refrain from
carrying important books, papers, or other belongings to the examination venue to avoid the risk
of losing them.
19.5 Mobile phones are strictly prohibited inside the examination hall. Anyone found carrying one
will face immediate confiscation of the cell phone a minimum fine of ₹ 1000 will be levied

19.6 Students are not allowed to carry eatables and drinkables inside the Examination Hall.

19.7 Except for essential communication with the invigilator, a student is not permitted to communicate
in any form with anyone else during the examination. Passing or receiving information in any form
or peeping into the answer books of others during the examination constitutes misconduct and is
strictly prohibited. A student, who assists or abets giving or passing of information, in any form
whatsoever, will be considered just as guilty and punishable as the one receiving it.

19.8 Students are not allowed to leave the venue during the examination (except on medical grounds)

20.1 The criteria for evaluation shall be shared by the faculty in the course outline at the beginning of
the Term.
20.2 The components for evaluation of a course may, in general, include a combination of attendance,
quizzes, assignments, fieldwork, level of class participation, mid-term examination, end-term
examination, etc. There will be a minimum of three components. The weightage of any
component should not exceed 40%.
20.3 The decision of the faculty regarding grades or any segment of evaluation will be final. A student
who needs clarification of grades may discuss with the faculty concerned within a week of
receiving the grades.
20.4 Faculty will give feedback to students periodically on their performance through evaluation
components and assessment marks, written comments on answer sheets or through individual
meetings.
20.5 If a student has missed a mid-term examination or an end-term examination on account of
authorized absence, s/he should approach the faculty concerned for administering a make-up
examination and notify the Dean’s Office (Academics) accordingly. The student’s transcript will
carry an “IC” grade until and unless the Dean’s Office (Academics) receives the final grade from
the faculty.
20.6 If, for any reason, the student fails to avail himself/herself of the opportunity to make-up the
missed examination(s), s/he will be finally awarded “IC” grade for that course or for that segment
of evaluation, as the case may be and no second opportunity for a re-test will be given.
20.7 A student, who has obtained an “IC” grade should complete the requirements of the course to
the satisfaction of the faculty within 3 [three] weeks from date on which the grade is announced
or, where the course falls in Term VI, within a week of the completion of Term VI, failing which
s/he will be required to repeat the same course completely as and when it is offered by a faculty
in the following year. It should be clearly understood that the student will not be entitled to receive
the Diploma until s/he completes the requirements stipulated here-in-before and after.
20.8 Students are required to strictly adhere to the deadlines prescribed for the submission of all
written assignments, projects and reports. Late submission is liable for reduction in grade in that
component as indicated hereunder:

Delay Reduction Example

1 week or less 1 grade point From B+ to B

1 week to 2 weeks 2 grade points From B+ to C+

Above 2 weeks 3 grade points From B+ to C

If a written assignment is overdue for more than 2 weeks, the faculty may refuse to accept
the assignment and award zero marks to the student concerned for that segment of
evaluation. All the project/assignment submission should be made before the end term of
the Term. In no case it should transgress into the commencement of the subsequent
Term.

This would be applicable for Dissertation / CIS also.

20.9 Normal requests for Re-evaluation
Re-evaluation of examination/term paper should be avoided. On request made by a student for
re-evaluation, the faculty member concerned may in consultation with the Dean’s Office

13
 (Academics) re-evaluate the answer book and submit the revised grade, if any, before the
publication of the same by the Dean’s Office (Academics) (also refer Section 21.2).

received and the students concerned should promptly check their grades through AIS
(http://acad.xlri.ac.in).
21.3 The grades of sponsored candidates, if any, may be communicated to the sponsoring
organizations at the request of the student and/or of the sponsoring organization. As a rule, the
grades of a student will not be communicated to any other person or organization without the
consent of the student concerned.

22. Grading System

points are given below:

Performance Fail Average Good Excellent

Grades F D D+ C C+ B B+ A A+
Grade Points 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

22.2 The faculty will inform the evaluation pattern in his course outline to be given at the beginning.

22.3 The index of a student’s performance in each Term is the QPI. It is derived by averaging the
quality points secured by a student in all the courses of the Term.

22.4 The index of a student’s overall performance is the CQPI, which is the weighted average of the
successive term QPIs.
22.5 A faculty would award an Incomplete Grade (“IC” grade) if a student fails to complete the
academic requirements of the course. An incomplete grade would require a student to repeat
the course next time it is offered. A student is not eligible for the Diploma with an “IC” grade in
any course (including CIS Course).
