7. Assessment and Grade Point Average:

Rule 1: Marks/Grade/Grade Point

A grade is assigned to each head based on marks obtained by a student in examination of the

course. The marks obtained in In-semester and end-semester examination are considered together to calculate the grade of the course. These grades, their equivalent grade points are given in Table below:

7. Passing Grade:

1. The grades O, A, B, C, D, E are passing grades.

2. A student getting any one of these grades in a course shall be declared as PASS. And

student shall earn the credits for a course only if the student gets passing grade in that course.

(i.e.if you passed in whole semester you will get the grade)

3. F Grade -The grade F shall be considered as a failure grade. (i.e. FAIL)

4. The student with F grade will have to pass the concerned course by re-appearing for the

examination.

5. The student with F grade for any stage of the Project Work, will have to carry out additional

work/ improvement as suggested by the examiners and re-appear for the examination.

6. AC and ACN Grade -The student registered for audit course shall be awarded the grade AC

after satisfactory completion of audit course and shall be included in the Semester grade

report for that course, provided student has the minimum attendance as prescribed by the

SPPU and satisfactory In-semester performance and secured a passing grade in that course.

Student who is unable to complete audit course will be awarded as ACN grade.

7. FX Grade-The grade FX in a course is awarded by the college, if a student does not maintain

the minimum attendance in the Lecture / Tutorial class as prescribed by the SPPU and/or his

performance during the semester is not satisfactory and/or he/she fails in the Term Work

head of that course.

8.    The student with FX grade in a given course is not permitted to take the end of semester

examination in that course. Such a student will have to re-register for the course.

9.    The student with F / FX in a course shall not be awarded any credits for that course

8. Performance Indices:

Rule 1:

The semester end grade sheet will contain grades for the courses along with titles and SGPA.

Final grade sheet and transcript shall contain CGPA.

Rule 2:

SGPA -The performance of a student in a semester is indicated by a numberknown asthe Semester

Grade Point Average (SGPA).

The SGPA is the weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the courses, seminars and projects registered by the student during the semester.

Rule 3:

CGPA- The CGPA means the Cumulative Grade Point Average which is the weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the courses (Theory/term work/practical/oral/presentation) of first semester to eighth semester for the students admitted in the First year and third to eighth semester for the students directly admitted at Second year.

CGPA is calculated in the same manner as the SGPA.

Rule 4:

ln case of a student passing a failed course or in case of improvement, the earlier grade would be

replaced by the new grade in calculation of the SGPA and CGPA.

9. Result:
