A letter grading system will be used to evaluate performance of students in the courses.:

The grading system will have the following letter grades A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+,C, C-, D, F & I.  Reporting grades on students mark sheets however will be restricted to A, B, C, D, I & F.  The grade points for a 3 credit course corresponding to the above grades will be A+=13, A=12, A-=11, B+=10, B=9, B-=8, C+=7, C=6, C-=5, D=3 & F=0.  The grade points for one credit will be the above numbers divided by 3.  The grade I means that the student has not completed the course and therefore receives an “Incomplete” grade.  F is a failure grade and has zero grade points.  The grade D is also an unsatisfactory grade, though not exactly a failure.  The grades can be interpreted as follows

A – Excellent B – Good C – Satisfactory D – Unsatisfactory F – Fail I – incomplete

To be promoted from one year to another a student must secure a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of atleast 2.0 and also should have secured no more than 4 Ds in the courses taken by him / her during the year. 

The CGPA will be calculated as follows:

Course No.	No. of Credits	Grade Recd.	Grade Points
1	2	A-	(2/3)(11)  =  22/3
2	3	B+	(3/3)(10)  =  30/3
3	3	B-	(3/3)(8)  =  24/3
4	4	D	(4/3) (3)  =  12/3
5	3	C	(3/3)(6)  =  18/3
6	3	B	(3/3)(9)  =  27/3
	18		133/3

CGPA =  (133/3)/18  =  133/54 = 2.463

The CGPA will be calculated for students in every trimester.  The student should not have obtained more than 4Ds in any trimester or more than 1 F and 2Ds or more that 2Fs in any trimester, in order to continue with the program.  Likewise a student should not have obtained more than 4Ds or 1F and 2Ds or 2Fs in the entire year and should have also obtained a minimum CGPA of 2.0 in order to be promoted to the next year.
