A course has a certain number of credits which describes its weight. A letter grade with a specified number of grade point is awarded in each course for which a student is registered. A student’s performance is measured by the number of credits that he/she has completed satisfactorily and the weighted average of the grade points that he/she has maintained. A minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.5 is required to be maintained for satisfactory progress in every semester. Students completing the required courses with a minimum CGPA of 3.0 are eligible for the degree.  The courses in which a student has obtained D or a higher grade will be counted as credits earned by him/her. A student who obtains an F grade in any course in any term/semester, he/she will have to repeat the course. If a student obtains a grade other than F in a course, he/she may be allowed to repeat the course for the purpose of grade improvement. F grades will not be counted for CGPA calculation but shall be mentioned on the Grade Sheet and Transcript.
