ordinarily be calculated as under:-

(a) LECTURES/TUTORIALS: One Lecture per week shall be assigned

One Credit. For one Tutorial period per week, HALF a credit is to be

GRADING:-
i) The Academic Performance of a student shall be graded on a TEN-POINT
SCALE. The award of Grades based upon marks obtained out of 100 shall be
made as follows:

® MARKS GRADE MARKS

86 < and above upto O < 100
76 < and above upto A+ < 85
66 ≤ and above upto A < 75
56 ≤ and above upto B+ < 65
51 ≤ and above upto B < 55
46 ≤ and above upto C < 50
40 < and above upto P < 45
-- F < --
-- Ab --

ii) Letter grade will be awarded to the candidates. Each letter grade indicates the
level of performance in the course and has a grade point for purpose of
computing the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) / Cumulative
Grade Point Average (CGPA) as given below:
® Letter Grade Performance Grade Point
O Outstanding 10
A+ Excellent 9
A Very Good 8
B+ Good 7
B Above Average 6
C Average 5
P Pass 4
F Fail (required to re-appear in the exam.)
Ab Absent -
SGPA:- indicates the performance of the student in the current semester and
is computed as below:
Grade points earned in the current semester/ Total credits in the
semester.
CGPA:-
It indicates the performance of a student since his/her entry into the course
including the current semester.
CGPA is the weighted average of all the grades awarded to a student since
his entry into the University upto and including the latest Semester and
computed as follows :-
CGPA = ∑Ci Gi
 ∑Ci
= Total Grade Points earned since his entry/total credits.
Where Ci denotes credits assigned to the ith course and Gi indicates the grade
point equivalent to the letter grade obtained by the candidate in the i th
Course.
iii) The division obtained by each student is classified on the following basis:
Division C.G.P.A.
First with Distinction 8.0 or more
First 6.75 or more but less than 8.0
Second Below 6.75
iv) In order to compare the students of this University vis-à-vis other
Universities where percentage of marks are shown in the final result, the
following conversion formula will be used for calculating the percentage of
marks from CGPA.
Percentage of marks obtained by a student = (9.0 x C.G.P.A.)

10. The following provisions shall be for moving from First course to Second course:-

a) Options have to be invited from all the students of Integrated course during third
year 31st March of the Session to categorically specify if they are interested to
opt out of the integrated course after passing the First course or they are
interested to move to the Second course of the Integrated scheme.
a) Scheme of examination upto 3rd year shall remain same for both B.Tech (4-year)
and B.Tech-M.Tech (Integrated) courses.

include some of the paper(s) of the Second course. Paper(s) of the Second
course will be taught on every Saturday.
c) Additional courses of the Second course taught during final year of the first
course will be shown in the detailed marks card of the final year of the first
course but credits of these PG paper (s) shall not be counted while computing
the SGPA/CGPA of the final year of the first course. Credits earned by the
candidate in these PG paper(s) shall be transferred to the second course of the
integrated course and shall be counted in computing CGPA of the second course
for the award of PG (M.Tech) degree.
d) While moving from First course to Second course of integrated scheme,
Reappear, if any, in the first course will be carried over to the Second course of
integrated scheme provisionally subject to passing of Re-appear papers within
prescribed chances/period.
