3.2. Attendance Requirements

3.2.1. A student must maintain an attendance record of at least 85% individually in all subjects.

Attendance of lectures, studios/tutorials, practical and sessional/tests count towards the

calculation of attendance percentage.

3.2.2. Without the minimum attendance, students are not eligible to write the End-semester

examination in that subject and for subsequent grading.

3.2.3. In case of detention due to less attendance, the student will have to undergo the particular

course at a later time along with the regular semester for the course. This may involve extension

of the total course duration and graduation date.

3.3. Credit Based System:

3.3.1. The educational process at Faculty of Architecture uses a Credit Based System wherein the

course content is expressed in number of credits. The current syllabus follows 10-point Credit

System. The B.Arch. programme has a total of 250 credits. All 10 semesters of study have 25

credits each.

3.3.2. Each subject is expressed in terms of a certain number of credits. The number of credits assigned

to a subject depends on the number of contact hours per week. For lectures and studios/tutorials

the number of credits is equal to the number of contact hours per week while for practical one

credit is assigned for every two/three contact hours per week. However, a student will be

required to carry out assignments and self-studies which may greatly exceed the actual number

of contact hours defined for a subject.

3.3.3. A student is deemed to have successfully completed a particular semester’s programme of

study when he/she earns all the credits of that semester, i.e., he/she has no ‘F’ and/or ‘I’ grade

in any subject of that semester.

3.3.4. Promotion of a student to next academic year is based on his/her earning a prescribed

minimum number of credits, as detailed in 3.5

3.3.5. When a student earns the specified number of credits in each of the semester making up the

course, he/she is deemed to have completed the requirements for graduation. This also means,

a student should have an ‘E’ grade or better in every subject of every semester, in order to be

eligible to receive the degree.

3.4. Outline of Evaluation

The students shall be informed about the procedures followed for in-semester assessment and end-

semester examination for every subject on the first day of the classes for that particular subject.

3.5. Evaluation Procedures

For each subject, in-semester assessment and end-semester examination (wherever applicable) together

contribute to the final grade awarded for the subject.

3.5.1. Relative Grading

Marks obtained in the in-semester assessment and end-semester examination are added

together and a 10-point grading system will be used to award the student with an overall letter

grade for the subject.

3.5.2. Letter Grading System

Final evaluation of a subject is carried out on a TEN POINT grading system. Grades and Grade

Points are as shown below:

7

Grade A+ A B C D E F (Fail)

Grade Points 10 9 8 7 6 5 0

A student who earns a minimum of 5 grade points (E grade) in a subject is declared to have

successfully completed the subject, and is deemed to have earned the credits assigned to that

subject. A subject successfully completed cannot be repeated.

Students who fail to appear for end-semester examination will be awarded an ‘F’ grade on the

grade sheet. Students who fail to appear for end semester examinations due to genuine reasons

are eligible for ‘I’ (incomplete) grade (prior approval of the Director is necessary before

examination). Students with ‘I’ grade/s should register for make-up examination by paying the

prescribed fees.

3.5.3. Grade Point Average (GPA) & Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

Each subject grade is converted into a specific number of points associated with the grade as in

3.7.2. These points are weighted with the number of credits assigned to a subject. The Grade

Point Average (GPA) is the weighted average of Grade Points awarded to a student. The grade

point average for each semester will be calculated only for those students who have passed all

the subjects of that semester. The cumulative grade point average (CGPA) will be the weighted

average of GPAs of all semesters at the completion of the course.

8

3.5.4. Valuation and Personal Script Seeing

Each script of the End- semester examination will be independently valued by two examiners

and the average of the two is taken as the final marks. If the difference in marks between the

two valuations is more than 15%, then the script will be valued by a third examiner. The average

of the marks assigned by the third examiner and the nearest of the marks assigned by the first

or second examiner with the marks of the third examiner is taken as the final marks.

There is no provision for revaluation of the scripts. However there is a provision of personal

seeing of the script on payment of prescribed fees.

3.6. Promotion to next Academic Years - Academic Performance Requirements

Promotion of a student to the next academic year is subject to the minimum academic performance
