Scheme of Evaluation in Postgraduate Courses
Grading Schemes: The marks obtained by the candidates of a course shall be converted to grades in the following manner
| Grade | Marks (%) | Grade Point |
| A | from 75 to 100 | 4.0 |
| A- | from 70 to 74 | 3.7 |
| B+ | from 65 to 69 | 3.3 |
| B | from 60 to 64 | 3.0 |
| B- | from 55 to 59 | 2.7 |
| C+ | from 50 to 54 | 2.3 |
| C | from 45 to 49 | 2.0 |
| C- | from 40 to 44 | 1.7 |
Credit Unit: One credit shall be equivalent to 15 hours of lecture or 30 hours of practical work, as the case may be. In order to earn the credits specified for a course, a student has to obtain at least a ‘C-’ grade.
Grade Point Average – GPA: The GPA of a student shall be computed as using the following formula.
where Ci is the credit unit of the ith course, gi is the grade point earned for the course unit, and N is the total number of courses offered.
Re-examinations: A candidate who has obtained a grade lower than a ‘C’ in a course may repeat the examination/coursework in the course concerned. Only one such repetition shall be permitted in any one course. The highest grade awarded at a repeat examination shall be a ‘C’. A candidate whose thesis/dissertation has not been accepted as satisfactory may be permitted to resubmit the thesis in a suitably revised form within the period specified by the Board of Examiners. Where major corrections are required in the thesis, the candidate may be required to be re-examined by the Board of Examiners, following re-submission of the corrected thesis within the period specified by the Board of Examiners.
