Letter grades and grade points allocations:
Based on the performances, each student shall be awarded a final letter grade at the end
of the semester for each course. The letter grades and their corresponding grade points are
given in Table – XIV.
Table – XIV: Letter grades and grade points equivalent to
Percentage of marks and performances
Percentage of
Marks Obtained Letter Grade Grade Point Performance
90.00 – 100 O 10 Outstanding
80.00 – 89.99 A 9 Excellent
70.00 – 79.99 B 8 Good
60.00 – 69.99 C 7 Fair
50.00 – 59.99 D 6 Average
Less than 50 F 0 Fail
Absent AB 0 Fail
A learner who remains absent for any end semester examination shall be assigned a letter
grade of ABand a corresponding grade point of zero. He/she should reappear for the said
evaluation/examination in due course.
The Semester grade point average (SGPA)
The performance of a student in a semester is indicated by a number called ‘Semester
Grade Point Average’ (SGPA). The SGPA is the weighted average of the grade points
obtainedin all the courses by the student during the semester. For example, if a student
takes five courses(Theory/Practical) in a semester with credits C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5
and the student’s grade pointsin these courses are G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5, respectively,
and then students’ SGPA is equal to:
C1G1 + C2G2 + C3G3 + C4G4+ C5 G5
SGPA = --------------------------------------------------
C1 + C2 + C3 + C4+ C5
The SGPA is calculated to two decimal points.It should be noted that, the SGPA for any
semester shall take into consideration the F and ABSgrade awarded in that semester. For
example if a learner has a F or ABS grade in course 4, theSGPA shall then be computed
as:
C1G1 + C2G2 + C3G3 + C4* ZERO + C5G5
SGPA = ------------------------------------------------------
C1 + C2 + C3 + C4+ C5
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
The CGPA is calculated with the SGPA of all the VIII semesters to two decimal points
and is indicated in final grade report card/final transcript showing the grades of all VIII
semesters and their courses. The CGPA shall reflect the failed statusin case of F
grade(s),till the course(s) is/are passed. When the course(s)is/are passedby obtaining a
pass grade on subsequent examination(s) theCGPA shall only reflect the new grade and
not the fail grades earned earlier.The CGPA is calculated as:
C1S1 + C2S2 + C3S3 + C4S4+ C5S5 + C6S6+ C7S7+ C8S8
CGPA = -------------------------------------------------------------------------
C1 + C2 + C3 + C4+ C5+ C6+ C7+ C8
where C1, C2, C3,…. is the total number of credits for semester I,II,III,…. and S 1,S2, S3,….is
the SGPA of semester I,II,III,…. .

Declaration of class
The class shall be awarded on the basis of CGPA as follows:
First Class with Distinction = CGPA of. 7.50 and above
First Class = CGPA of 6.00 to 7.49
Second Class = CGPA of 5.00 to 5.99
Project work
All the students shall undertake a project under the supervision of a teacher and submit a
report. The area of the project shall directly relate any one of the elective subject opted by
the student in semester VIII. The project shall be carried out in group not exceeding 5 in
number. The project report shall be submitted in triplicate (typed & bound copy not less
than 25 pages).
The internal and external examiner appointed by the University shall evaluate the project
at the time of the Practical examinations of other semester(s). Students shall be evaluated
in groups for four hours (i.e., about half an hour for a group of five students). The
projects shall be evaluated as per the criteria given below.
