 PRINCIPAL’S WELCOME MESSAGE

Dear students,

Established in 1930 and situated in a desirable and charming ambience, Jagannath Barooah College
(Autonomous), Jorhat has traversed a long way over about nine decades and is on the threshold of
stepping into the centenary year very soon. The college has grown up into a glorious institution during
its long journey with the best academic atmosphere. In the process, it has accomplished many a
milestone in the field of higher education in this part of the country with much more yet to be achieved.
It is high time to lift the institution to newer heights of excellence by leveraging the contemporary
paradigms and discourses of higher education in Science, Humanities and Commerce. We have been
constantly striving to provide a quality education that would nurture knowledge, skill and attitude in
individuals through a curriculum responsive to the changing socio-economic and cultural realities. Our
effort is to realize the motto "The Light never fails" with a noble approach to address in a pragmatic
way the educational needs of a huge section of society. Re-accreditation of the College with a Grade
"A" by NAAC, boosted the morale of the stakeholders to work towards lifting the college to a new
pedestal to clinch academic excellence and a research culture of a far higher order. It is also pertinent
to mention that the college was conferred autonomy in the year 2016 and achieved the 75th rank among
autonomous colleges in a survey conducted by Education World in 2021. The achievements that the
college has acquired over the past few years are the establishment of modern Research Laboratories,
and a Biotechnology Hub, instituting J.B. College Study Centers under KKHSOU and Directorate of
Distance Education, Dibrugarh University, to name a few. The college has been successfully operating
Post Graduate Programs in various departments and putting in place all efforts to start PG courses in
certain other departments. Additionally, Four Years Undergraduate Program (FYUGP) under NEP 2020
has been introduced in the curriculum of the institute which aims at enhancing the creative potential of
each student. Moreover, Workshops, National Seminars and other academic activities have been regular
feature with unprecedented success. To promote research culture among the minds of young learners
cutting across all the streams, the college has introduced PhD programme from the last academic
session. These achievements of the college can be credited to the teamwork of the competent faculty
with cooperation, constant support, feedback and expertise of all the stakeholders and we feel proud to
be a part of it.

I, therefore, take this opportunity to extend a warm welcome to all to Jagannath Barooah College
(Autonomous), Jorhat, to accompany us in our long voyage towards the heights of excellence.

With best wishes

Dr. Utpal Jyoti Mahanta

1. THE INSTITUTION - A BRIEF OVERVIEW

Jagannath Barooah College is a premier institution of higher education located in Jorhat, a city with a
rich cultural heritage and a glorious historical background, in the upper part of the Brahmaputra Valley
of Assam. The Institution has been reaccredited by NAAC (National Assessment and Accreditation
Council) in 2018 and awarded an "A" grade on the basis of its performance in the field of higher
education. The College has also been conferred fresh autonomous status by the UGC with effect from
2016-17. Moreover, the Star College status has been awarded to the college by the Department of Bio-
Technology, Ministry of Science & Technology, Govt. of India, under which four Departments namely
Botany, Chemistry, Physics and Zoology have benefited immensely.

Further, the college was awarded 64th rank in the NIRF (National Institutional Ranking Framework) of
MHRD (Ministry of Human Research Development), Govt. of India in 2017. Responding to popular
demand, J.B. College under the aegis of MHRD and Ministry of Defense, GOI and financial support
from UGC has established the Centre for Youth Development which is conducting NCC as a Minor
Subject.

The development of modern education in colonial Assam has a close connection with the establishment
of this institution at Jorhat. The valuable contributions made by a dedicated group of scholars in the
first quarter of the 20th century subsequently led to the formal initiation of an institution known as
Upper Assam College at Jorhat in 1930. Just one month later its name was changed to Jorhat College
and started its journey with Intermediate Arts (IA) Course under Calcutta University. It was again in
1938 that the college was renamed as Jagannath Barooah College in memory of Jagannath Barooah, the
first Graduate of Upper Assam. The founder principal of this oldest institution of the region was Prof.
Krishna Kanta Handiqui, a renowned Orientalist, distinguished scholar and academician. The college
now has a diversified field of teaching. Currently, it has 22 departments and 2 centers viz., Assamese,
Bengali, Biotechnology, Botany, Chemistry, Commerce, Computer Science, Economics, Electronics,
English, Geography, Geology, Hindi, History, Mathematics, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science,
Sanskrit, NCC, Statistics, Sociology and Zoology. Except for Bengali, Biotechnology, Computer
Science, Sociology, Film Studies and NCC, the other departments have Honours Courses at the
Undergraduate level.

The regular post-graduate (PG) programs in Geography and Philosophy were opened in 1995 and 1996
respectively. From the academic session of 2016, the PG program in Commerce, Assamese and Political
Science under CBCS was started. In addition to these, currently college also offers Post Graduate
Programme in English, Physics, Mathematics and History. Besides, there are PG programs in Assamese,
Commerce, Economics, Mathematics, Political Science and Sociology under the Distance Education
Scheme of Dibrugarh University. There is also a centre of K K Handiqui State Open University
(KKHSOU) under which different UG and PG programs can be pursued.

A student is eligible to appear in the end-semester examination provided that he/she completes required
credit hours allotted in each concerned course.

Students having a shortage of credit hours must fill the deficit by engaging with the teacher(s) concerned
and submitting a certificate to this effect before the examination. Failing to comply with this led to the

23. EVALUATION UNDER CBCS FOR UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMMES

A. Certain Key Words:

a) Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS): Under the CBCS, the requirement for awarding a
Bachelor’s degree (Certificate after one year, Diploma after two years, Three years Degree
and Four years Degree with honours) is prescribed in terms of the number of credits to be
completed by the students.
b) Credit Point: The credit point can be calculated as credit attained multiplied with the
credit level
c) Credit: In terms of NEP 2020, one credit is equivalent to 30 hours of academic work or
learning hours which includes attending lectures, participating in discussion, completing
assignments, projects, studying and appearing for examination.
d) Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA): It is a measure of the overall cumulative
performance of a student over all semesters. The CGPA is the ratio of total credit points
secured by a student in various courses in all semesters and the sum of the total credits of
all courses in all semesters. It is expressed up to two decimal places.
e) Grade Point: It is a numerical weight allotted to each letter grade on a 10-point scale.
f) Letter Grade: It is an index of the performance of students in a said course. Grades
aredenoted by letters O, A+, A, B+, B, C, P,F and Ab.
g) Programme: An educational programme leading to the award of a Degree, diploma or
certificate.
h) Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA): It is a measure of theperformance of workdone in
a semester. It is the ratio of total credit points secured by a student in variouscourses
registered in a semester and the total course credits taken during that semester.It shall be
expressed up to two decimal places.
i) Semester: Each semester will consist of 15 weeks of academic work equivalent to 90actual
teaching days.

The Odd semester may be scheduled from 26th July to 25th December and
The Even semester is from 17th January to 25th June.

B. Evaluation
There will be two stages of evaluation - In-semester evaluation and End-semester evaluation

23
In-semester evaluation:
In-semester evaluation will have 20% weight-age and will have the following components:
(a) An in-semester examination is an abstracted mode of the end-semester examination (15%
weight-age) and
(b) Other forms of evaluation including group discussion/seminar presentation/home assignment
(5% weight-age)
• In-semester examination shall be conducted by faculty members teaching the course within the
centrally determined time period.
• Other forms of In-semester evaluation will be conducted by faculty members teaching the
course as per their own schedules.
• Aggregated In-semester marks/ grades will be submitted to the Controller of Examinations
within a centrally determined date.
The students will be informed in advance about the nature of the assessment. Students shall
compulsorily attend in the process of internal assessment, failing which they will not be allowed to
appear in the End-semester examination. A Student cannot repeat In-semester examinations. However,
if a student fails to appear in any of the In-Semester examinations for reasons considered valid by the
department, the department concerned may arrange a special In-semester examination whenever
necessary.

End-semester examination:
• End-semester evaluation will have 80% weightage.
• End-semester examination will be conducted centrally at the end of each semester as per the
academic calendar.
• The duration of the End-semester theory examination will be restricted to a maximum of three
hours per paper.
• The schedule for the end-semester examinations will be issued by the Controller of the
Examinations at least 20 days ahead of the examination.
• The end-semester practical examinations will be conducted by the concerned course teacher(s)
with the help of the HOD.
• The End semester examination will be normally a written/laboratory-based examination/Project
Work/Dissertation
• The End–semester examination for each course will be of a maximum of three-hour duration.
• Setting of question papers, moderation of question papers, evaluation of answer scripts,
scrutiny, tabulation of marks, etc. and announcement of results, will be governed by J B College
(Autonomous) Examination Rules 2016 framed on the basis of Dibrugarh University
Examination Ordinance 1972 (as amended from time to time).

C. PRACTICAL EXAMINATION
Practical Examinations of a Semester will be held prior to the End Semester Theory Examinations.

D. AWARD OF GRADE, GRADE POINT, SGPA AND CGPA

a) The absolute grading system shall be applied in evaluating the performance of the students.
b) A candidate shall have to secure at least a ‘P’ grade to pass the course/ programme in both
end-semester marks.
c) The marks of in-semester examinations obtained shall be carried over for evaluation in the
grade of the course.

24
 d) The following scale of grading system shall be applied to indicate the performance of
students in terms of a letter grade and grade points as given below:

Determination of grade and grade-points for the courses

Percentage of Marks obtained Letter Grade Grade Result

in a course/ Programme. Point
(In-semester plus End-
semester)
90-100 O [Outstanding] 10 Pass
80-90 A+ [Excellent] 9 Pass
70-80 A [Very Good] 8 Pass
60-70 B+ [Good] 7 Pass (First Class)
50-60 B [Above Average] 6 Pass
40-50 C [Average] 5 Pass
30-40 P [Pass} 4 Pass
0-30 F [Fail] 0 Fail
00 Ab [Absent] 0 Incomplete

Note: Exclusive class interval technique is used here. For example, the class interval 50-60
includes candidates scoring a percentage of marks starting from 50 up to any percentage less than
60.

e) The letter grade ‘B+’ and above shall be considered as First Class.
f) A student is considered to have completed a course successfully and earned the prescribed
credits if he/she secures a letter grade other than F (Failed) orAb (Incomplete).
g) The pass mark of all Theory and Practical Papers of the End semester examination is 30%.
h) The SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to two decimal points and reported in the
transcripts. Conversion of CGPA in to percentage (%): CGPA will be multiplied by 10.
Percentage of marks = (CGPA X 10)

i. The Letter grade ‘B+’ and above shall be considered as First Class and Letter grade ‘B’
shall be considered as Second Class.
ii. A student is considered to have completed a course successfully and earned the prescribed
credits if he/she secures a letter grade other than F (Failed) or ‘Abs’ (Absent/Incomplete).
iii. If a candidate secures ‘F’ grade in a Course, he/she shall have to reappear in the Course
in the next legitimate chance.
iv. If a student secures ‘F’ grade in Project Work/ Dissertation/ assignment etc., he/she shall
have to re-submit it after necessary revisions. The Result shall be declared with next
regular batch.
v. ‘Abs’ grade shall be awarded to a candidate if he/she has not fulfilled the following
requirements:
a. If a candidate fails to appear in any Course(s) in an end semester examination.
b. If a candidate fails to submit the project work/dissertation / assignment of an end
semester examination.
c. If a candidate is certified as not eligible to appear in any course(s) in an end semester
examination by the Course Teacher(s) due to insufficient attendance in lectures,
tutorials practical or fieldworks.
vi. The candidates not appearing in a Semester Examination shall be considered as an ‘Abs’
candidate and that will be reflected in the Grade Sheet of the candidate. These candidate
shall have to convert the ‘Abs’ grade by appearing in the next examination on the Course

25
 (provided he/ she has legitimate chance to appear the Course) concerned or by submitting
project work/dissertation/ assignment etc.
vii. Results of the candidates appeared in the Betterment or Backlog Examinations shall not
be counted for the award of Prizes/Medals, Rank or Distinction.

E. SGPA
SGPA will be calculated for each semester on the basis of semester, according to the following
mathematical relation.

Sn = Ʃ (Ci x Gi) / Ʃ Ci

Where, Sn is the SGPA for the nth semester

Ci is the number of credits of the ith course and
Gi is the grade point scored by the student in the ith course.

F. CGPA
CGPA will be calculated for the entire programme on the basis of SGPA earned in all the semesters,
according to the following mathematical relation.

CGPA = Ʃ (Cn x Sn) / Ʃ Cn

Where, Cn is the total number of credits in the nth semester,

Sn is the SGPA for the nth semester

The following illustrations could be taken as an example for computing SGPA and CGPA: Calculation
of SGPA from course-wise credit and grade earned by a student for any semester:

Course Course-I Course-II Course-III Course-IV Course-V

Credit 6 5 4 3 2
Grade point 8 4 5 6 8

(8x6) + (4x5) + (5x4) + (6x3) + (8x2)

SGPA =
6+5+4+3+2
122
= = 6.10

Calculation of CGPA from the SGPAS earned by a student in six semesters along with total credit in
each semester will be as follows:

Semester Sem- Sem- Sem- Sem- Sem- Sem- Sem- Sem-

=
22 + 22 + 22 + 22 + 22 + 22 + 22 + 22

Students will be awarded SGPA/CGPA values considering all the papers - core and non-core. Student
(s) failing to earn minimum C-grade in individual paper will be declared as unsuccessful irrespective of
SGPA/CGPA value to qualify in each semester.

24. RESULTS

The CGPA, earned by a student, will be recorded in the mark sheets of the final semester. Final semester
mark sheets will be generated only for those students who have no backlog in the semesters. The SGPA
earned by the students will be recorded in the mark sheet of each semester. SGPA will be calculated
only for those students who have cleared all the courses in that semester. For those candidates (of any
semester) whose mark sheets have been generated, the result will be declared as pass or fail.
Following rules will be applicable for declaration of result as passed.
a) A candidate will be declared as passed in a course, provided he/she secures- (i) at least 40%
marks in the course in the end semester examinations. (ii) at least 40% marks in the course in
aggregate in the in- and end-semester examinations.
b) A candidate will be declared as passed in a semester, provided he/she passes all the courses of
a semester independently.
c) The marks of in-semester examinations earned by the candidate will be carried over for
declaring any result.
d) A candidate who fails or does not appear in one or more courses of any end semester
examinations up to Sixth Semester will be provisionally promoted to the next higher semester
with the failed course as carry over course(s). Such candidates will be eligible to appear in the
carry over course in the next regular examinations of those courses. However, the following
restrictions will be applicable:

[Note: If a candidate clears the sixth-semester examination before clearing all the courses
of the previous semesters and eight-semester examination before clearing all the courses
of the previous semesters then the result of the sixth and eight semester examination of
that candidate will be kept withheld and his/her results will be announced only after
he/she clears the courses of the previous semesters].

e) Since the Semester system involves continuous assessment, there will be no scope for a student
to appear as a private candidate in any programme in this system.
f) A candidate will be declared to have passed the Six-Semester Degree B.A./B.Sc./B.Com
programme provided he/she has passed all the Semesters and in all the Courses separately.

25. Re-evaluation:
If a student is not satisfied with the marks awarded to him/her in any end-semester paper, he/she may
apply for redressal in standard format within 7 days of publication of the result by surrendering his
original mark sheet. The redressal process will proceed through the following stages:
Stage-1. The evaluated script will be scrutinized, and the result of the re-scrutiny will be
provided to the student. If satisfied, the process will be terminated; if not it will proceed to the next
stage.
Stage-2. He/She will be provided with a copy of the evaluated script. If satisfied, the process
will be terminated; if not it will proceed to the next stage.

27
 Stage-3 .His/ Her script will be re-evaluated, and the result finally declared.

26. Betterment examination

The student will be given the opportunity of repeating one paper per semester for betterment purposes
in the subsequent examination subject to the conditions that (a) the opportunity will be offered for only
