About Examination

EXAMINATIONS

The evaluation of each paper shall contain two parts:
(i) Internal or In-Semester Assessment (ISA)
(ii) External or End-Semester Assessment (ESA)

The internal to external assessment ratio shall be 1:4. Both internal and external marks are to be rounded to the next integer. All papers (theory & practical), grades are given on a 7-point scale based on the total percentage of marks, (ISA+ ESA) as given below:-

Percentage of Marks Grade Point
95 and above S Outstanding 10
85 to below 95 A+ Excellent 9
75 to below 85 A Very Good 8
65 to below 75 B+ Good 7
55 to below 65 B Above Average 6
45 to below 55 C Satisfactory 5
35 to below 45 D Pass 4
Below 35 F Failure 0
  Ab Absent 0

CREDIT POINT AND CREDIT POINT AVERAGE

Credit Point (CP) of a paper is calculated using the formula:- CP = C x GP, where C is the Credit and GP is the Grade point

Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) of a Semester is calculated using the formula:- SGPA = TCP/TC, where TCP is the Total Credit Point of that semester.

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is calculated using the formula:- CGPA = TCP/TC, where TCP is the Total Credit Point of that programme.

Grade Point Average (GPA) of different category of courses viz. Common Course I, Common Course II, Complementary Course I, Complementary Course II, Vocational course, Core Course is calculated using the formula:- GPA = TCP/TC, where TCP is the Total Credit Point of a category of course.

TC is the total credit of that category of course.

Grades for the different courses, semesters and overall programme are given based on the corresponding CPA as shown below:

GPA Grade
9.5 and above S Outstanding
8.5 to below 9.5 A+ Excellent
7.5 to below 8.5 A Very Good
6.5 to below 7.5 B+ Good
5.5 to below 6.5 B Above Average
4.5 to below 5.5 C Satisfactory
3.5 to below 4.5 D Pass
Below 3.5 F Failure
