(7) Under extreme special circumstances, Vice Chancellor may condone attendance upto 5% below 75% on the recommendation of HoI. 2. MAKE-UP OF DEFICIENCY IN ATTENDANCE (1) The students who are detained due to shortage of attendance in any course of a semester, shall register with their Department/Constituent Unit for Guided Se lf Study Course in the beginning of the corresponding semester/year at the time of reregistration. They will be required to pay a fee per course as prescribed b y the University.

(3) Such students will have to attend contact classes as and when s cheduled by the Department/Constituent Unit on week ends / holidays in the relev ant semester to complete the package of study for the course designed by the Dep artment/Constituent Unit. 1

(4) The Departments/Constituent Units may prescribe term papers / home assignmen ts which the students will submit to their teachers subject-wise within the due dates. (5) The regularity in attending the classes and prompt submission of assi gnments by due date will determine whether a debarred or detained student is per mitted to take the reexamination or not. The schedule for regular collection and submission of term paper/ home assignments will be announced by the Department/ Constituent Unit. (6) Only those who register for Guided Self Study Course and complete all the requirements as prescribed by the Department/Constituent Unit w ill be permitted to take the examination in the respective subject when the exam inations of such Course Units are conducted on normal schedule along with the ne xt batch of students.

GRADING SYSTEM (1) The level of students academic performance as the aggregate of continuous eva luation and end term examination shall be reflected by letter grades on a ten po int scale according to the connotation as per Table A TABLE A Grade A+ A AB+ B BC+ C F 2 Qualitative Meaning Outstanding Excellent Very Good Good Above Average Average S atisfactory Border Line Fail Grade Point Attached 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 0

(2) Conversion of numerical marks into letter grades (a) In order to arrive at t he letter grades based on relative performance, the total marks in a particular course for all the students in the class of more than 30 students where the dist ribution curve is not close to perfectly normal, shall be tabulated in a descend ing order list (equivalently a histogram). The performance of the class shall be analysed in terms of average, highest and the lowest marks and dividing lines b etween the clusters of students. Gaps and dips between the clusters and the natu re of the clusters will guide in drawing the dividing lines between the Grades. B and B- bands usually indicate the average marks. (b) If the marks obtained by a student of a class of more than 30 students are close to perfectly normal dist ribution curve and it does not indicate natural gaps and dips, the marks awarded to him in a Course Unit shall be transformed into a normal distribution curve b y using Statistical Method in accordance with Table B to ensure the uniformity i n spread of scores regardless of the nature of curricular areas. TABLE C Letter Grade Qualitative Value of Grade Outstanding Excellent Very Good Good Abo ve Average Average Satisfactory Border Line Fail Minimum Percentage of marks for letter Grade for PG Programmes 80 75 68 60 52 45 40 35 Less than 35 3 A+ A AB+ B BC+ C F Minimum Percentage of marks for letter Grade for UG Programmes 80 70 65 55 50 45 35 30 Less than 30

(d) In the case of Non-Credit and Audit Courses which are not reckoned for asses sment of SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) and CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Av erage), the students shall be awarded S Grade for satisfactory performance and U Gra de for unsatisfactory performance. (3) The Semester performance of a student wil l be indicated as Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA). The SGPA is the weighted a verage of Grade Points of all letter grades received by a student for all the Co urse units in the semester. The formula for Computing SGPA is given below: SGPA= U1 G1+ U2 G2 + U3 G3 + ----------------U1 + U2 + U3+ ----------------------Where U1, U2, U3 denote credits associated with courses taken by the Student and G1,G2,G3 are the Grade Points of the letter grades awarded in the respective Co urse. An example of these calculations is given below: I Semester Course Code (1) MAL101 MAL102 MAL103 MAL104 MAL105 MAL106 Total Associated Credi ts Grade Awarded Credits earned Grade Point Point Secured (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) 5 C(+) 5 4 20 4 B+ 4 7 28 4 A 4 9 36 3 B 3 6 18 4 F 0 0 00 4 B(-) 4 5 20 24 20 122 Total associated credits in the semester (total of column 2) = 24 Earned credits in the semester (total of column 4) = 20 Points secured in the semester (total of column 6)= 122 SGPA= Points secured in the semester 122 Total Associated Cred its in Semester - I 24 = 5.08 CGPA is not applicable in first semester II Semester Course Code Associated Credits Grade Awarded Credits Earned Grade Point Point Se cured (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) MAL 201 5 A(+) 5 10 50 MAL 202 5 B(+) 5 7 35 MAL 2 03 5 C(+) 5 4 20 MAL 204 4 A 4 9 36 MAL 205 4 B 4 6 24 MAL 206 5 B5 5 25 MAL 207 3 F 0 0 00 Total 31 28 190 4

Total Associated Credits in the semester (total of column 2 ) = 31 Earned Credit s in the semester (total of column 4 ) = 28 Cumulative associated credits (in pr evious semester 24 and current semester 31) = 55. Points Secured in II semester (total of column 6) = 190 Cumulative points secured (total of points secured in 1st semester 122 and in II semester 190) =312 SGPA= Points secured in II semeste r Total Associated Credit Units in semester - II 190 = 6.13 31 312 = 5.67 55 CGPA= Cumulative points secured in all passed course in I & II Sem Cumulative Associat ed Credit Units in I & II semesters (4) In the case of Annual system of evaluation of students performance, Annual G rade Point Average (AGPA) shall be assessed as per above guidelines. (5) The fin al year Grade Card will indicate Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) and shall be based only on Grade Points obtained in courses for which units have been ear ned. (6) An approximate and indicative equivalence between CGPA and percentage o f marks can be assessed by simple mathematical calculation i.e. CGPA multiplied by 10. (7) The successful students shall be placed in Divisions as below: CGPA 8 .5 and above 6.5 but less than 8.5 5.0 but less than 6.5 for UG programmes 6.0 b ut less than 6.5 for PG programmes EQUIVALENT DIVISION First class with Distinct ion First Division Second Division Second Division 5.
