conducted soon after the publication of ODD semester regular exam (Nov /
Dec) results. Similarly the arrear course examinations of EVEN semesters
will be conducted soon after the publication of EVEN semester regular exam
(April / May) results. Failed candidates in regular examinations should
compulsorily register for all the practical / theory courses in the supplementary
examinations.
The institution will conduct only the exams for the odd semester courses (one regular exam
+ one supplementary exam for arrears of the odd semesters) during November / December
and will conduct only the exams for the even semester courses (one regular exam + one
supplementary exam for arrears of the even semesters) during April / May of an academic
year.
Students who have completed the eighth semester will be eligible for attending the
special supplementary exam for all semester arrear papers (from 1st to 8th semesters) in the
even semester examination session soon after their eighth semester regular examination
results. Students who have more than six arrears are not eligible to appear for the special
supplementary exam.
Controller of Examination (CoE) will publish a schedule of supplementary
examinations after the last date of registering for the examinations. The pattern of
evaluation will be the same as that of end semester examinations.

The revaluation of answer script will not be applicable for supplementary exam.
However challenge of evaluation of answer script is allowed. The Arrear examination
will be termed as supplementary examinations and such appearance in supplementary
exam will be treated as another attempt and will be reflected in the grade sheet

15. Classification of Performance

Classification of performance of students in the examinations pertaining to the

courses in a programme is done on the basis of numerical value of Cumulative Grade
Point Average (CGPA). The concept of CGPA is based on Marks, Credits, Grade
and Grade points assigned for different mark ranges. Table 7 shows the relation between
the range of marks, Grades and Grade points assigned against each course.
Table 7

Range of Marks Grade Grade Points (GP)

100 - 90 S – Outstanding 10

89 - 80 A – Excellent 9

79 - 70 B - Very Good 8

15.1 Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA)
On completion of a semester, each student is assigned a Semester Grade Point
Average which is computed as below for all courses registered by the student during
that semester.
Semester Grade Point Average = ∑ (Ci xGPi) / ∑Ci
Where Ci is the credit for a course in that semester and GPi is the Grade Point earned by
the student for that course.
The SGPA is rounded off to two decimals.
15.2 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
The overall performance of a student at any stage of the Degree programme is
evaluated by the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) up to that point of time.

Cumulative Grade Point Average = ∑(Ci x GPi) / ∑CI

Where Ci is the credit for each course in each of the completed semesters at that stage and
GPi is the grade point earned by the student for that course.
The CGPA is rounded off to two decimals.

16. Issue of Grade Sheets

i
16.1 Separate grade sheet for each semester will be given to the students by the CoE after
the publication of the results.

16.2 After the completion of the programme, a consolidated grade sheet will be issued to
the student.

16.3 No separate grade sheet for supplementary examination/special supplementary

examination will be issued to the students by the CoE after the publication of
supplementary examination/special supplementary examination result.
The result of the supplementary examination will get reflected in the subsequent
semester grade sheet. The result of the special supplementary examination will get
reflected only in the consolidated statement of grade (that is, consolidated grade sheet).
