Every student of the Institute is required to
maintain at least 80% of the attendance in
each course. A student who fails to meet the
minimum requirements of attendance in any
course will not be allowed to sit for final examination
for that course(s). The 20% margin
of absence has been allowed to cover the absence
from the classes due to illness or other
unavoidable circumstances. All events such as
seminars, special lab work, guest speakers discourse,
etc. requiring attendance may be adjusted
to cover shortage in attendance in the
related subject
A student short of the prescribed attendance
level in any course(s) shall be considered as
having failed in that course(s) and his CGPA/
GPA will be calculated accordingly.
It is the responsibility of the students to constantly
monitor their attendance level. |

EVALUATION & GRADING |
| |
The performance of students will be evaluated
through a continuous testing procedure spread
over the entire period of studies/semester. Besides
the semester’s final examination, which
carries forty percent of the total marks, there
will be a number of tests, term papers, assignments,
presentations and short quizzes. Hourly examinations will be administered every
month and thus students are required to
appear in three such examinations for each
course in a semester (the two best scores will
be counted towards the final grade). A number
of surprise quizzes will be given during classes
to monitor the day to day progress of the students.
Moreover, the performance of students
in class discussions, written assignments, research
reports etc., will be evaluated to form
part of their overall grades.If the requirements are not met within this time
limit, the student’s grade in that course will be
converted into a ‘fail’. No “Make Up’ examination
will be allowed in any course under any
circumstances. A Grade Point Average
(GPA) will be computed at the end of the
course for all students. Final letter grades in
each course will be converted to grade points
on the following basis:

| |
|
GPA REQUIREMENTS |
|
| |
Students must maintain a minimum GPA/CGPA
of 2.2 on a cumulative basis during the course
of their academic programme. Students with
a GPA/CGPA. of less than 2.0 will be dropped
from the rolls of the Institute forthwith. Students
securing a GPA/CGPA between 2.0 and
2.2 will be on probation for one semester.
At the end of the semester, students on probation
will be required to improve their GPA/CGPA to a minimum of 2.2.If a student on probation
shows an improvement, but his/her CGPA is still
below 2.2 his/her probation may be extended
for another semester. Otherwise the student
will be dropped from the rolls of the Institute. If
a student fails certain courses but manages to
maintain the required GPA/CGPA, he/she may
be allowed to repeat and clear the course(s)
or substitute(s) (wherever permissible) before
the degree is awarded.
The GPA is computed as follows:
Sum of (credit hours x grade point)
Sum of Credit hours
For Internship/Research, the evaluation of a
student will be based upon: (a) Performance
Report of the Internee furnished by the concerned
organization, (b) Internship/Research
Report submitted by the student, and (c) performance
in Viva Voce.
