A grade X shall be awarded for courses (like project & thesis, design,etc.) in the odd semester which continue through to the even semester.

13.1 Calculation of GPA and CGPA: Grade point average (GPA) isthe weighted average in a semester. F grades do not count forGPA calculation. GPA of a semester will be calculated as follows.

Grade Point Average

where n is the total number of courses passed by the student in thesemester, Ciis the number of credits allotted to a particular course i andGiis the grade point corresponding to the grade awarded for i- th course.The overall or Cumulative grade point average (CGPA) gives thecumulative performance of the student from first semester up to any othersemester to which it refers and is computed by dividing the total grade

points (CiGi) accumulated up to the date by the total credit (Ci). BothGPA and CGPA will be rounded off to the second place of decimal forreporting.

14. Distribution of Marks :14.1 The distribution of marks for a given course will be as follows

i) Theory courses:Class participation and performance 10%Quizzes/Class tests 20%Semester final exam (3 hours duration) 70%

Total 100%

ii) Independent laboratory/sessional/design/field work coursesClass participation and attendance 10%Quizzes 15%Performance/reports 50%Viva voce (conducted by the department) 25%

Total 100%iii)Project and thesis:Viva voce (conducted by a viva voce committee) 20%Supervisor (internal examiner) 50%External examiner 30%

Total 100%

iv) Combined theory & laboratory/Sessional courses:Assessment for the theory part of the course will be done as perguideline i) and that for the laboratory/sessional part as perguideline ii) above. Total marks in a combined course will then becalculated on the basis of theory to laboratory/Sessional creditratio.

14.2 It is desirable that weightage on continuous assessment asdescribed in Article 14.1 such as quizzes and class tests, class

participation and attendance etc. should be increased up to 50%

and weightage on semester final examination should be reduced toabove 50% gradually.

14.3 Basis for awarding marks for class participation and attendancewill be as follows:

Attendance Marks90% and above 10%85% to less than 90% 9%80% to less than 85% 8%75% to less than 80% 7%70% to less than 75% 6%65% to less than 70% 5%60% to less than 65% 4%Less than 60% 0%

14.4 The students whose percentage of attendance will fall short of75% in any of the theory, lab/sessional courses for which he/shehas registered in one academic year shall not be eligible for theaward of any type of scholarship/stipend /grant for the followingacademic session.

15. Class Tests/Quizzesi) For 2 credit courses 3 best out of 4, for 3 credit courses 4 best out

of 5 and 4 credit courses 5 best of 6 quizzes/class test may betaken for awarding grade. These may be considered as theminimum as the minimum recommended number of quizzes/classtests for any course. If the number of quizzes/class tests

administered in a courses exceeds these suggested minimumnumbers, then two thirds best of all may be considered.

ii) Duration of quizzes/class tests should not exceed 15 minutes andmaterials covered should be what were taught in 2 to 3 previousclass or most recent classes.

iii) for convenience of conduction the class tests/quizzes a half anhour time slot should be kept at the beginning of each workingday.

iv) The dates for the quizzes/class test shall be fixed by the Head orCourse Coordinator and shall be announced accordingly.

v) All class shall ordinarily be of equal value. The result of eachindividual class test shall be posted for information of the students

preferably before the next class test is held.

16. Earned Credits:The courses in which a student has obtained D or a higher gradewill only be counted as credits earned by him/her. A student, whoobtains a F grade in any Core Course in any semester. he/shewill have to repeat the course. If a student obtains a F in anOptional Course, he/she may choose to repeat the course. If astudent obtains a F in an Optional Course, he/she may choose torepeat the course or take a substitute course if available. F gradeswill not be counted for GPA calculation but will stay permanentlyon the Grade sheet and Transcript.A student obtaining D grade in a course will be allowed to repeatthe course for the purpose of grade improvement if CGPA of the

student falls below 2.20 . In such case he/she will be awarded thenew grade thus he/she obtains or retains his/her previous grade ifhe/she fails.

17. Performance Evaluation:The minimum CGPA requirement for obtaining a B. Sc.Engineering degree is 2.2. The performance of a student will beevaluated in terms of two indices, viz. semester grade pointaverage and cumulative grade point average.Student will be considered to be making normal progress toward adegree if their CGPA for all courses attended is 2.2 or more.Students who regularly maintain semester GPA or 2.20 or better

are making good progress toward their degrees and are in goodstanding with the Institute. Students who fail to maintain thisminimum rate of progress will not be in good standing. This canhappen when one or more of the following conditions exist:i) Semester GPA falls below 2.20 orii) Cumulative GPA falls below 2.20iii) Earned credits fall below 15 times the number of Semester

attended/studies.All such students can make up deficiencies in GPA and creditrequirements by completing courses of next semester(s) and

23 24


15/57

backlog courses, if there be any, with better grades. When GPAand credit requirements are achieved,The student is returned to good standing. Students whose GPAwill fall below 2.20 will have to be notified so that the necessaryremedial measures can be taken.

18. Honors, Directors List and Board of Governors (BOG)Gold medalCandidates for Bachelors degree in engineering will be awardedthe degree with honors if their CGPA is 3.75 or better.

In recognition of excellent performance, the names of studentswho maintains good standing with the Institute obtaining SGPA of3.75 or above in two regular semesters in each academic year may

be published in the Directors List in each department. Studentswho have received F grade in any course during any of the tworegular semesters will not be considered for Directors List in thatyear.If a students can show extraordinary brilliance and obtains all A or

better grades in all the courses he/she attended and fulfills thecredit requirement for graduation will be honored by awardingBOG gold medal in a special function/convocation.

19. Student Classification:For a number of reasons it is necessary to have a definite system

by which to classify students as First year, Second year, Third yearand Fourth year. At BIT regular student are classified according tothe number of credit hours earned towards a degree. The followingclassification applies to the students.

Year Earned credits

First year 0 to 35

Second year 36 to 70Third year 71 to 105

Fourth year 106 and above

20. Registration for the Second & subsequent Semester:A student is normal required to earn at least 15 credit in semester. Atthe end of each semester, the students will be categorized as follows:

Category - 1 :Consisting of student who have passed all the courses prescribed forthe semester and have no backlog of courses. A student belonging to

Category 1 will be eligible to register for all courses prescribed forthe next semester.

Category - 2 :Consisting of students who have earned at least 15 credits in thesemester but do not belong to category 1. A student belonging toCategory 2 is advised to take at least one course less in the nextsemester subject to the condition that he/she has to register for such

backlog courses as may be prescribed by the adviser.

Category -3 :Consisting of student who have failed to earn 15 credits in thesemester. A students belonging to Category 3 is advised to take atleast two courses less subject for registration for minimum of 15credits. However, he/she will be required to register for such backlogcourses as may prescribed by the adviser.

21. Probation and Suspension:Undergraduate students who regularly maintain semester GPA of2.20 or better satisfying the minimum credit requirements aremaking good progress toward their degrees and are in goodstanding with the Institute. Students who fail to maintain thisminimum rate of progress may be placed on academic probation.

The status of academic probation is a reminder/warning to thestudent that satisfactory progress towards graduation is not beingmade. A student may be placed on academic probation wheneither of the following conditions exists:

i) The Semester GPA falls below 2.20 or

ii) The cumulative GPA falls below 2.20

Students on probation are subject to such restriction with respectto courses and extracurricular activities as may be imposed by therespective Head of the Department.

The minimum period of probation is one semester, but the usualperiod is for one academic year. The allows student andopportunity to improve the GPA through the completion ofadditional course work during the period that the student is on

probation. The probation is extended for additional semester untilthe student achieves an overall GPA if 2.20 or better. When thatcondition is achieved, the student is returned to good standing.

25 26


16/57

Academic probation is not be taken lightly-it is very seriousmatter. A student on academic probation who fails to maintain aGPA of at least 2.20 during two consecutive academic years may

be suspended from this Institute. A student who has beensuspended may apply for consideration to the Director, but thisapplication will not be considered until the student has beensuspended at least one full semester.

Petitions for reinstatement must set forth clearly the reasons forthe previous unsatisfactory academic record and it must delineatethe new conditions that have been created to prevent therecurrence of such work. Each such petition is consideredindividually on its own merits. After consideration of the petitionis considered individually on its own merits. After considerationof the petition and perhaps after consultation with the student,adviser and the respective Head of the Department, Director insome cases; reinstate the student if this is the first suspension.However, a second suspension will be regarded as final and

absolute.

22. Measures for Helping Academically weak Students:

The following provisions are made as far as possible to helpacademically weak students to enable them to complete theirstudies within the maximum period of seven years.

a) All such students whose Cumulative Grade Point Average(CGPA) is less than 2.20 at the end of a semester may be givena load not exceeding four theory/combined courses in the nextsemester.

b) For other academic deficiencies, some basic and core courses

may be offered during the regular semester under specialarrangement in order to enable the student to partially make upfor the reduced load during regular semester.

Following criteria are followed for determining academicallyweak students.

i) CGPA falling below 2.20

ii) Semester grade point average (SGPA) falling below 2.20 pointsbelow that of previous semester.

iii) Earned credit calling below 15 times the number of semesterattended.

23. Minimum Earned credit and GPA Requirements for Obtaining

Degree:

Minimum credit requirements for the awarded of Bachelor ofEngineering Degree will be decided by the respective committeeof courses and studies. The minimum CGPA requirements forobtaining a Bachelor of Engineering Degree are 2.20.

A student may take additional courses with the consent of his/heradviser in order to raise CGPA, but he/she may take a maximumof 15 such additional credits beyond respective creditrequirements for bachelors degree during his/her entire period ofstudent.

24. Time Limits of Completion of Bachelors Degree:A students must complete his/her students within a maximum period of seven years

for engineering.

25. Industrial/ Professional Training Requirements:Depending on each Departments own requirement a student mayhave to complete a prescribed number of days of industrial/

professional training in addition of minimum credit and otherrequirements, to the satisfaction of the concerned department.

26. Application for Graduation and Award of Degree:A student who has fulfilled all the academic requirements for

bachelors degree will have to apply to the Register/Directorthrough his/her Adviser for graduation. Provisional degree will beawarded in completion of credit and GPA requirements. Such

provisional degree will be confirmed by the academic council.

27. Inclusion of repeaters from present system to the new courses systemRepeater students will be included in the courses system ofcurricula as and when such situation will arise.

27.1 Equivalence of Courses and Grades: Equivalence of coursespassed previously by any repeater student shall be determined bythe respective Committee of Courses & Studies for the purpose of:a) Allowing course exemption and

27 28


17/57

b) Conversion of present grades into proposed grades in exemptedcourses.

27.2 Time Limit for Completion of Bachelors Degree: Timeallowed for a student included in Course System from PreviousSystem to complete studies leading to a bachelors degree will be

proportional to the remaining credits to be completed by him/her.A student in engineering for example, having earned 40 credithours through equivalence and exemption (for previouslycompleted courses) out of a total requirement of 162 credits for

bachelors degree will get.(7 yr. X 122/162 = 5.25) = 5-1/2 years (rounded to next higherhalf-a year) or 11 (eleven) Regular semester to fulfill allrequirements for bachelors degree.

27.3 Relaxation of Course Registration for Repeaters:Relaxation ofcourse Registration for a student transferred to course system fromPrevious system: - the requirement of r egistration of minimum 15credit hours in a semester shall waived for only the semester of theyear where he/she has been transferred in course system providedthat he/she has been granted exemption in some of the coursesoffered in those terms.

28. Absence during Semester:A Student should not be absent quizzes tests etc. during thesemester. Such absence will naturally lead to reduction in

points/marks, which count towards the final grade. Absence insemester final examination will result in F grade.A Student who has been absent for short periods, up to amaximum of three week due to illness, should approach the courseteacher(s) or the course coordinators(s) for a make-up quizzes orassignments immediately on returning to the classes. Such requestshould be supported by medical certificate from Institute medical

officer. The medical certificate issued by a registered medicalpractitioner (with the registration number shown explicitly or thecertificates) will also be acceptable only in those cases where thestudents has valid reason for his/her absence from the Institute.
