VI Credit and Grading System

21. A student’s academic result is assessed on the basis of the approved assessment

schedule for each course. If an examination is prescribed as part of the assessment schedule,

a student is required to pass the examination component in order to be awarded an overall

Pass for the course. In the case of Honours Projects, theses, dissertations, Field-

work/Internship courses and courses where there is no final examination, the course is

assessed entirely by continuous assessment.

22. The passing grade is ‘D’ in any subject; a student earns no credits for the course(s) in

which he has failed.

23. The grading system of the University is as follows:

Grade Academic Performance

A Excellent
A-

B+ Good
B

B- Fair
C+

C Average

C- Pass
D+

D Bare Pass

E Redeemable Failure

F Failure

P Passed in “Passed/Not Passed” only Course

NP Not Passed in “Passed/Not Passed” only Course

TR Credits Transferred from Exchange Programmes

A student who receives grade ‘E’ may have a make-up examination for that course once,

and if he fails again, he must repeat the course.

A student who receives grade ‘F’ will not have a make-up examination and must repeat

the course.

24. Grades are on a 4-point system for which the quality points are given below:

Grade Quality Point Grade Point

(for a 3-credit course)

A- 3.7 11.1
