from other institute nominated by competent Authority of University
for the acceptance of the quality of the manuscript /paper of the
candidate. The publication can be made at any period of the duration
of M.Tech. programme. However, it does not contribute any credits
to the programme but mandatory to fulfill the partial requirements
for the award of M.Tech. degree. This evaluation process may be
carried out along with even end semester examination depending up
on the status of the students.
10.8 The end-semester examination shall be conducted by the
Pondicherry University for all the courses offered by the department.

evaluating the end-semester examinations, grading and publication
of the results. Each answer script shall be evaluated by two experts.
If the difference between the total marks awarded by the two
examiners is not more than 15% of end-semester examination
maximum marks, then the average of the total marks awarded by the
two examiners will be reckoned as the mark secured by the
candidate; otherwise, a third examiner is to be invited to evaluate the
answer scripts and his/her assessment shall be declared final.

10.10 Continuous assessment of students for theory courses shall be

based on two tests (15 marks each) and one assignment (10 marks).
A laboratory course carries an internal assessment mark of 50

Page 6 of 107
 distributed as follows: (i) Regular laboratory exercises and records –
20 marks (ii) Internal laboratory test– 20 marks and (iii) Internal
viva-voce – 10 marks.

10.11 All eligible students shall appear for the University

examination.

11. Grading : 11.1 The assessment of a course will be done on absolute marks
basis. However, for the purpose of reporting the performance of a
candidate, letter grades, each carrying stipulated points, will be
awarded as per the range of total marks (out of 100) obtained by the
candidate, as detailed below in Table 3.

Table 3: Letter Grade and the Corresponding Grade Point

Range of Letter Grade

55 to 59 D 6 Average

50 to 54 E 5 Satisfactory

0 to 49 F 0 Failure
Failure due to lack of
- FA -
attendance
- AB - Failure by absence

11.2 A student is deemed to have completed a course successfully

and earned the appropriate credit if and only if, he /she receives a
grade of E or above. The student should obtain 40% of marks in the
University examination in a subject to earn a successful grade.
A candidate shall be declared to have passed the examination in a
subject of study only if he/she secures not less than 50% of the total
marks (Internal assessment plus university examination marks).

11.3 A candidate who has been declared “Failed” in a course may

reappear for that subject during the subsequent semester and
secure a pass.

11.4 The internal assessment marks secured by a student in a theory

course shall be considered only during the first appearance. For the
subsequent attempts, the marks secured by the student in the
University examination shall be scaled up to the total marks.
Further, the marks secured by the student in the University
examination in the latest attempt shall alone remain valid in total
suppression of the University examination marks secured by the
student in earlier attempts.

12. Declaration of Results,
Rank and Issue of Grade
Card : 12.1 The results will be declared and the grade cards will be issued
to the students after completing the valuation process.
12.2 The grade cards will contain the following details:
i. The college in which the candidate is studying/has studied.
ii. The list of courses enrolled during the semester and the grades
scored.
iii. The Grade Point Average (GPA) for the semester and the
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of all enrolled
subjects from first semester onwards.

12.3 GPA is the ratio of the sum of the products of the number of
Credits (C) of courses registered and the corresponding Grade Point
(GP) scored in those courses, taken for all the courses and the sum
of number of credits of all the courses

GPA = (Sum of (C × GP)/ Sum of C)

The sum will cover all the courses the student has taken in that
semester, including those in which he/she has secured F.

12.4 CGPA will be calculated in a similar manner, considering all

the courses enrolled from first semester. FA grades are to be
excluded for calculating GPA and CGPA. If a student has passed in
a course after failing in earlier attempts, the grade secured by the
student in the successful attempt only will be taken into account for
computing CGPA.

12.5 To convert CGPA into percentage marks, the following formula

shall be used:

% Mark = (CGPA - 0.5) × 10

12.6 A candidate who satisfies the course requirements for all

semesters and passes all the examinations prescribed for all the four
semesters within a maximum period of eight (8) semesters reckoned
from the commencement of the first semester to which the candidate
was admitted, shall be declared to have qualified for the award of
degree.

12.7 A candidate who qualifies for the award of the degree shall be
declared to have passed the examination in FIRST CLASS with
DISTINCTION upon fulfilling the following requirements:

i. Should have passed all the subjects pertaining to semesters

1 to 4 in his/her first appearance in 4 consecutive semesters
starting from first semester to which the candidate was
admitted.
ii. Should not have been prevented from writing examinations due
to lack of attendance.
iii. Should have secured a CGPA of 8.50 and above from semesters
1 to 4.

12.8 A candidate who qualifies for the award of the degree by

passing all the subjects relating to semesters 1 to 4 and secure
CGPA not less than 6.5 shall be declared to have passed the

Page 8 of 107
 examination in FIRST CLASS. All other candidates who qualify for
the award of degree shall be declared to have passed the examination
in SECOND CLASS.

12.9 A student with CGPA less than 5.0 is not eligible for the award
of degree.

12.10 For the award of University rank and gold medal, the CGPA
secured from 1st to 4th semester should be considered and it is
mandatory that the candidate should have passed all the subjects
from 1st to 4th semester in the first appearance and he/she should not
have been prevented from writing the examination due to lack of
attendance and should not have withdrawn from writing the
University examinations.

13. Provision for Withdrawal : A candidate may, for valid reasons, and on the recommendation
of the Head of the Institution be granted permission by the
University to withdraw from writing the entire semester
examination as one UNIT. The withdrawal application shall be valid
only if it is made earlier than the commencement of the last theory
examination pertaining to that semester. Withdrawal shall be
permitted only once during the entire programme. Other conditions
being satisfactory, candidates who withdraw are also eligible to be
awarded DISTINCTION whereas they are not eligible to be awarded
a rank/gold medal.
14. Temporary Discontinuation
from the Programme : If a candidate wishes to temporarily discontinue the programme
for valid reasons, he/she shall apply through the Head of the
Institution in advance and obtain a written order from the University
permitting discontinuance. A candidate after temporary

orders to remove any difficulty.

15.2 Nothing in the foregoing may be construed as limiting the

power of the Pondicherry University to amend, modify or repeal any
or all of the above.
