Students failing in any Course(s) shall register forthe same again (re-register) and shall secure CIEand SEE afresh in each course(s). This shallcontinue until a pass grade is obtained in the saidcourse(s).

5. CREDIT SYSTEM5.1 General5.1.1 The college follows a Choice Based Credit System (CBCS). The

students have an option of choosing from a wide range of electives(department, cluster and institutional) and complete the programmeat their own pace. Value added courses are also offered as a part ofextended learning in interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinarydomains. Thus the CBCS facilitates continuous learning andassessment.

5.1.2 In the Credit System, the course work of students is unitized andone credit is assigned to each unit after a student completes theteaching-learning process as prescribed for that unit and issuccessful in its assessment.

5.1.3 Credit DefinitionOne unit of course work is assigned one credit in the regularsemester (odd/even):a) Theory Course conducted for One hour/Week/Semesterb) Tutorials conducted for One hour/Week/Semesterc) Practical classes (Laboratory Courses) conducted for Two/

Three hours/Week/SemesterHowever, in case of fast track semester, the Course load is increased.The above credits are used to fix semester course load and weeklycontact hours.Other student activities like study tours, industrial visits, guestlectures shall not carry any credits.

5.1.4 Course RegistrationA student shall register for the Courses (Core or Elective) to earn creditsfor meeting the requirements of the degree programme. Such coursestogether with their grades and the credits earned will be included in theGrade Card issued by the College at the end of each semester, like odd,even, Fast Track and it forms the basis for determining the student'sacademic performance in that semester.A student shall register in person at the beginning of each semester onthe prescribed dates, by filling out the Registration Form and paying allstipulated fees. The student shall consult the concerned FacultyAdvisor in choosing the courses to be registered.

Practical 2 hrs/week/sem: 1 credits

5.3 Course Load in regular semester(s):5.3.1 In the planning of Course work for the UG programme at the college,

it is necessary to specify the average Course load for a student persemester, as well as its minimum and maximum limits. The averagecourse load shall be fixed at 25 credits per semester.

5.3.2 In the first two semesters, the stipulated course load per semester ismandated. Withdrawal/dropping of courses in the first year (firsttwo semesters) is not allowed.

5.3.3 For higher semesters, the applicable course load limits per semesterare a minimum of 20 credits and a maximum of 30 credits tofacilitate the student based on his/her performance (slow learner orfast learner) in the previous semesters.

5.3.4 A student is to be permitted to register for a minimum of 20 creditsand a maximum of 30 credits so that the average course load is 25credits or stipulated course load in each semester. Based onhis/her academic performance (CGPA) in the first year and Mentor’sadvice, the student is to be given an opportunity in the highersemesters i.e. third semester onwards either to continue with theaverage load of 25 credits or lower it to the minimum permittedcredits i.e. 20 credits by dropping / withdrawing of relevantcourses(s) in the given semester before the prescribed dates inacademic calendar; this facility is to assist the student to cope-upwith the course work and to help in improving their academicperformance and thus optimize the learning outcome.

5.3.5 The above practice is to enable the student to properly plan his/hercourse load to follow in each semester, by choosing it to be between20 and 30 credit limits, based on his/her academic performance inthe first year & Mentor’s advice.

5.3.6 In the event the student performance is higher (i.e., CGPA of 8.5),he/she may be allowed to register for higher number of credits notexceeding 30, provided that the following conditions are met at thatpoint in time (i.e., desiring to register more than 25 credits):

7 Assessment:7.1 Assessment Methods7.1.1 Student assessment is done in two parts as follows:

a. Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE), to be conducted by thesubject teacher all through the semester; and, to include InternalAssessment tests, assignments, problem solving, groupdiscussions, quiz, seminar, mini-project and other means.

b. Semester End Examination (SEE), to be conducted on dates to befixed at the College level and to include a written examination fortheory courses and practical/design examination with built-in oralpart for laboratory/design courses.

7.1.2 Both CIE and SEE have equal (50:50) significance. Student'sperformance in a course shall be judged by taking into account theresults of CIE and SEE individually and also together.

7.2 Question Papers7.2.2 Question Paper for SEE shall cover the entire syllabus, with a provision

for the students to answer questions from the full syllabus. As studentsneed to be given some choice in the questions included in the Paper,the question paper will have compulsory questions and choice inquestions. This factor shall be taken note of by the Board of Examiners(BOE), while planning for the Question Papers. The syllabus will bedivided into five units. There will be compulsory questions from any twounits and choice in questions from the remaining three units.

7.2.3 Besides, it is also necessary for the course syllabi to be well drafted, bedefect-free and be properly unitized (or modularized) to enable thesetting of good question papers covering the whole syllabus. These

11

aspects have to be taken into account, in particular, by the Board ofStudies (BOS).

7.2.4 The questions to be included in the Question Papers at CIE and SEEwill be of comprehensive type that has to be answered in detail. Such aquestion paper will be useful in the testing of overall achievement andmaturity of the students in a subject, through long questions relating totheoretical / practical knowledge, derivations, problem solving,application and quantitative evaluation.

7.3 Examinations

7.3.1 Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE):For B.E. programmes:a. Theory: The CIE shall be conducted exclusively by the facultyhandling the Course. The Course teacher shall announce thecomponents of CIE to the students in advance; declare the evaluationresults in time. The Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) will consistof IA test, assignment/activity, Seminar, course project, quiz.b. Laboratory: The CIE shall be conducted exclusively by the faculty

handling the Course. The CIE will consist of Conduct of theexperiments, report writing and lab IA test.

7.3.2 A student shall secure a minimum of 40% in CIE (Theory), 50% in CIE(Lab) otherwise he/she shall not be qualify/be eligible for SEE.

7.3.3 Semester End Examination (SEE):

The SEE (Theory) will be conducted for 100 marks having 3/4 hoursduration. It will be reduced to 50 marks for calculation of SGPA andCGPA. Question papers will be invited from both the internal examiner(faculty member of the college) and external examiner.

The duration for Lab exams shall be of 2 hours/3 hours which will beconducted for 50 marks and it will be reduced to 25 marks forcalculation of SGPA and CGPA. The Lab exam and viva-voce will beconducted by two examiners.

Any student failing to meet the above standard ofattendance in any course(s) registered, shall not be allowed toappear for SEE of such course(s).

14

8.2 Attendance at CIE and SEE: Attendance at all examinations, bothCIE and SEE of each course registered shall be compulsory for thestudents and there shall not be any provision for re-examination/consideration.

8.3 Any student against whom any disciplinary action by the College ispending shall not be permitted to attend any SEE in that semester.

8.4 Each semester is considered as a unit and the candidate has to putin a minimum attendance of 85% in each course with a provision ofcondonation of 10% attendance for reasons such as medicalemergencies and legitimate grounds.

8.5 The basis for the calculation of the attendance shall be the periodprescribed by the College by its calendar of events. For the firstsemester students, the same is reckoned from the date of admissionto the course.

8.6 The students shall take note of his/her attendance status periodicallyfrom the respective faculty and strive to make up the shortage.However, the departments shall periodically announce theattendance status of the students. Non-receipt of such informationfrom the college will not be considered as valid reason for exemptionfrom the attendance requirements.

8.7 If a student does not fulfill the attendance requirements in anycourse, he/she is not permitted to attend the Semester EndExamination (SEE) in that course and is deemed to have beenawarded ‘F grade’ in that course.

8.8 In respect of Integrated Courses 85% of attendance shall bemaintained in theory as well as practical component of the course.Failing to maintain the 85% attendance in any one component, thestudent will not be permitted to take up SEE in that course.

9. GRADING

9.1 General9.1.1 As in recent years, the grading system has replaced the evaluation

of students performance in a Course based on absolute marks.This is to ensure uniformity in the grading practice at differentautonomous colleges to facilitate the migration of students ortransfer of credits among Autonomous Colleges under theUniversity.

9.1.2 Letter Grades: A letter grade is basically a qualitative measure (analphabet/letter) giving the performance of a student, such as,Outstanding (S+), Excellent (S), Very Good (A), Good (B), Aboveaverage(C), Average (D), Poor (E) and Unsatisfactory/Fail (F), basedon the marks obtained by the student. This is usually arrived at

15

after the student’s performance in a Course, which includes bothCIE and SEE, is assessed and marks for the total are awarded.

9.1.3 Grading System: The College has adopted the Absolute GradingSystem.

9.2 Grade Points9.2.1 Depending on the letter grades assigned, a student earns certain

grade points. As the grading system is necessary to provide a betterresolution in the performance assessment the college follows the10-point grading system, as given in the table below:

Grade Points Scale (Absolute Grading)

< 50≥45

<45≥40< 40

9.2.2 The grade points given in above table help in the evaluation ofcredit points earned by the student in a Course as the creditpoints are equal to the number of credits assigned to the Coursemultiplied by the grade points awarded to the student in thatCourse. This shall be used in arriving at the credit index (SGPAand CGPA) of the student, as it is the sum total of all the creditpoints earned by the student for all the Courses registered.

9.2.3 Earning of Credit: A student shall be considered to have completed acourse successfully and earned the credits if he/she secures anacceptable letter grade in the range S+ to E. Letter grade 'F' in anyCourse implies failure of the student in that Course and no creditsearned.

9.2.4 Transitional Grades: The transitional grades, such as, 'I',’X' and 'W'shall be awarded to a student in the following cases. Thesetransitional grades shall be converted into any one of the lettergrades (S+ to F) after the student completes his/her Courserequirements, including examination.

i. Grade 'I': Awarded to a student having satisfactory attendance atclasses and meeting the passing standard at CIE in a Course,but remained absent from SEE for valid and convincingreasons acceptable to the College, like:

(i) Accident or severe illness leading to hospitalization, whichdisabled the student from attending Semester EndExamination (SEE);

16

(ii) A calamity in the family at the time of SEE, which requiredthe student to be away from the College;

(iii) In the event of (i) and (ii) above, it is the responsibility ofthe student/parent/guardian to inform the collegeauthorities (proctor/HOD) immediately. The informationmay be in the form of either written communication,personal communication by parent/guardian/peer or ane-mail or mobile message. The candidate needs to submitall the relevant evidences (hospital reports, police reports,certificates from competent authorities, etc.,) prior toattending the college. Intimation is mandatory. Anyintimation after the conduct of examination will notbe entertained.

(iv) A student will be entitled to avail this facility onlytwice during studentship of the programme.

ii. Grade 'X': A student may be awarded grade “X” if he/she hasattendance ≥ 85 % and has done exceptionally well in acourse with the CIE being greater than or equal to 60% andhas attended but not done well in the SEE and it is observedthat the student would get an overall “F” grade in thatcourse. A student who is awarded grade “X” would bepermitted to write make-up SEE conducted as per theannounced schedule. Based on the performance in thismake-up SEE, the “X” grade would be converted to a regularletter grade. Grade “X” is awarded only if the student hasattended the SEE.

iii. Grade ‘W': Awarded to a student having satisfactory attendance atclasses, but withdrawing from that Course before theprescribed date in a semester under faculty advice; thestudent shall re-register for the said course in the fast tracksemesters only. All the 'W' grades awarded to the studentsshall be eligible for conversion to the appropriate lettergrades only after the concerned students re-register forthese courses and fulfill the passing standards.

All the transitional grades ('I' and 'X') awarded to a student shall have tobe converted to an appropriate letter grade after the make-upexamination. Any outstanding 'I' and 'X' grades, two days after the lastscheduled Make-up Examinations shall be automatically converted to'F' grade.

9.2.5 Diminishing Grade rule: This rule will apply for I and X grades only. Ifa student qualifying for make-up exams fails in any course in the SEEand gets a pass in the same in the immediate make-up exams, thegrade obtained will be reduced by one level when the course is clearedwith S+ grade and S-grade. The diminishing grades for the obtained

17

grades are S+ will be reduced to S-grade and S-grade will be reduced toA-grade. However, this rule will not apply if the grade obtained inmake-up exams is A-grade and below.

9.2.6 In the event of a student fails in a Laboratory course and/or in CIE of acourse in final year, the student shall be given 'I' grade. In such a case,the concerned Chairperson of BOE may grant the student extra time notexceeding 1-2 weeks for completing the course with due concurrence ofthe faculty and Head of the Department. If no such extra time issought / granted, the concerned student shall have to re-register forthe course(s) in the succeeding fast track semester and fulfill theacademic requirements for the award of the degree.

9.2.7 Grade Card: Each student shall be issued a Grade Card at the end ofeach semester only after successfully completing the courses of thatsemester. The grade card will indicate the letter grade earned by thestudent in each course. This will have a list of all courses registered bya student in the semester along with the credits. Hence, only thecourses registered for credit and having grade points shall be includedin the computation of students’ performance i.e., SGPA and CGPA.

However, the courses taken for audit will not form part of thiscomputation. The results of mandatory courses, which are of the non-credit type, shall also be reflected in the Grade Card as PP (for Passed)or NP (for Not Passed). It may be noted that each UG student shall haveto obtain the grade PP in each mandatory course to qualify for award ofthe Degree by the University.

Provision for issue of duplicate Grade cards: for issuing the duplicateGrade Cards to a student perusing B.E. under autonomous scheme,the candidate has to register a complaint at the police station inconnection with the lost Grade Card with all particulars. Further, thecandidate has to submit an affidavit duly prepared by the Notary in theformat available in the examination section.

9.2.8 Transcript: Transcript/s will be issued to all the eligible students at theend of the eighth semester. However, partial transcripts will also beissued to the students (those who aspire for higher studies) at the endof 6th semester, on request.

9.2.9 If any candidate is detained for any reason, the period of detention shallnot be considered as ‘Break of Study’.

9.3 Grade Point Averages

9.3.1 SGPA and CGPA: The credit index can be used further for calculatingthe Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and the Cumulative Grade

18

Point Average (CGPA), both of which being important performanceindices of the student. SGPA and CGPA will be computed only for theCompulsory credit Courses (Core Courses, Labs and Electives).SGPA is equal to the credit index for a semester divided by the totalnumber of credits registered by the student in that semester andCGPA gives the sum total of credit indices of all the previoussemesters divided by the total number of credits registered in all thesesemesters. The SGPA and CGPA will be computed as shown below:

Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA)The SGPA is the ratio of sum of the product of the number of creditswith the grade points scored by a student in all the courses taken by astudent and the sum of the number of credits of all the coursesundergone by a student in a semester, i.e

SGPA= Sum over Courses in Semester (Course Credit x GradePoint Earned)/Total Semester Credit

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)The CGPA is also calculated in the same manner taking into accountall the courses undergone by a student over all the semesters of aprogramme, i.e.

CGPA= Sum over all taken courses in all Semester (Course Credit x GradePoint Earned)/ Total Credit taken in all semester

The SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points andreported in the transcripts.

Both SGPA and CGPA facilitate the declaration of academicperformance of a student, at the end of a semester and at the end ofsuccessive semesters respectively. Both SGPA and CGPA shall benormally calculated up to the second decimal position, so that theCGPA, in particular, can be made use of in ranking the students in aclass.

The conversion of SGPA and CGPA to equivalent percentage of markscan be calculated as follows

% of marks = [(Grade point) - 0.75] X 10

9.4 Passing standard and Vertical Progression9.4.1 A student shall be considered to have completed a course successfully

(shall be considered as passed) and earned the credits if he/shesecures an acceptable letter grade in the range S+ to E. Letter grade 'F'in any Course implies failure of the student in that Course and nocredits earned. The minimum standard of passing in respect of CIEand SEE for each course is shown in the Table.
