Note: If the 3rd digit after decimal points is above ‘0’, grade will be rounded (ceiling) into the second digit after decimal. For example, 2.990 will be counted as 2.99 while 2.991 will be counted as 3.00 in CGPA calculation.
Student may enroll for noncredit courses termed as audit courses on recommendation of his thesis/project supervisor and Chairman of the department. However, his grade for such courses will not be counted for his GPA.
A student may withdraw from one or more courses with the approval of his/her Academic Advisor within 6 weeks of the commencement of the semester or else his/her grade in that course shall be recorded as F.
A student should have a convincing reason to add/drop/withdraw a course.
In exceptional cases, (e.g. serious illness of students, death of parents etc.) a student may be allowed to withdraw a course after week 6 on recommendation of his/her advisor. Such request should be supported by proper documents and certificates.
When a student is unable to sit for the final examination of a course, his/her grade in that course shall be recorded as I. In such case, he/she has to retake/recourse the course.
Satisfactory and Unsatisfactory will be used only as final grades for thesis/project and noncredit courses. Grade for thesis/project “In Progress” shall be so recorded. If, however, thesis/project is discontinued an ‘I’ grade shall be recorded.
A student getting an F or I grade in a course may sit only for the final examination in that course, if he/she obtains 40% or above marks excluding the final examination. A course cannot be retaken more than twice.
A student getting an F or I grade in a course will be required to repeat the course if he/she obtains below 40% marks excluding the final examination.
A student may re-course one or more courses for improvement of grade and the best of the grades earned in a course on repeating will be counted for CGPA calculation.
A student may retake one or more courses for improvement of grade and the best of the grades earned in a course on retaking will be counted for CGPA calculation. Courses having less than ‘B’ grade will be allowed to register as ‘Improvement’.
Note: For any retake, the student have to obtain 40% or above marks excluding the final examination.
A student may dropout from the program by applying to the registrar of the university but he/she must have a convincing reason to do so.
