Course Evaluation/ Assessment of Performance

For each Course: There will be continuous assessment

of a student's performance throughout the semester.

Based on continuous assessment, grades will be

awarded by the course instructor.

In each course, your performance in

1. Mid Semester Examination

2. Quizzes, Assignments, Term Papers, Tutorials, Group

Discussions, Seminars, Mini Projects, Practical, etc

3. End Semester Examination

awarded in a 10-point scale.

Grading System

For regular courses, Letter Grade will be awarded in a 10-point scale.

• If the performance of top most students is extraordinary in a big class,

the instructor may award letter grade AS=10 in UG courses.

Letter Grade AS, AA AB BB BC CC CD DD F

Grade Points 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 0

• F grade is FAIL. To pass a course, student needs to get DD or above.

• Non-Credit compulsory Extra Academic Activities like SA courses,

NCC, NSO, COS, industrial training, field visits, etc are evaluated with

two letter grades, namely,

PP = Passed, NP = Not Passed

Semester Performance Index (SPI)

• A Semester Performance Index (SPI) will be

computed for each semester.

Cumulative Performance Index (CPI)

• The Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) gives the cumulative performance of the student from the first semester up to the end of the semester to which it refers.

• Grades obtained in the courses, SPI and CPI are • Grades obtained in the courses, SPI and CPI are mentioned in the Grade Report/Card.

• A specified Minimum of SPI and CPI are to be maintained by the students in order to continue in the programme.

• For B.Tech./B.Des.: Required Minimum CPI is 4.0

Important Academic Rules

• In Each Semester, on the notified Registration Day, all students should be present and they must do registration.

• In Each Registered Course, Students are required to attend all classes (including tutorial and practical).

• Pass all courses including SA courses, NCC/NSO/COS in the first attempt (otherwise you are ineligible for institute medals/awards)

then you will be debarred from appearing in the end semester

examination and will be awarded “F=FAIL” grade in that course.

Academic Support

• Basic courses have Tutorials. Tutors will explain concepts and will help you in clearing doubts, solving problems, etc.
