Course Evaluation/ Assessment of Performance
For each Course: There will be continuous assessment
of a student's performance throughout the semester.
Based on continuous assessment, grades will be
awarded by the course instructor.

awarded in a 10-point scale.
Grading System
For regular courses, Letter Grade will be awarded in a 10-point scale.
• If the performance of top most students is extraordinary in a big class,
the instructor may award letter grade AS=10 in UG courses.
Letter Grade AS, AA AB BB BC CC CD DD F
Grade Points 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 0
• F grade is FAIL. To pass a course, student needs to get DD or above.
• Non-Credit compulsory Extra Academic Activities like SA courses,
NCC, NSO, COS, industrial training, field visits, etc are evaluated with
two letter grades, namely,
PP = Passed, NP = Not Passed
Semester Performance Index (SPI)
• A Semester Performance Index (SPI) will be
computed for each semester.

Cumulative Performance Index (CPI)
• The Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) gives the cumulative performance of the student from the first semester up to the end of the semester to which it refers.
• Grades obtained in the courses, SPI and CPI are • Grades obtained in the courses, SPI and CPI are mentioned in the Grade Report/Card.
• A specified Minimum of SPI and CPI are to be maintained by the students in order to continue in the programme.
• For B.Tech./B.Des.: Required Minimum CPI is 4.0
Important Academic Rules
• In Each Semester, on the notified Registration Day, all students should be present and they must do registration.
• In Each Registered Course, Students are required to attend all classes (including tutorial and practical).
