Examination Regulations for B Pharma

1. SHORT TITLE AND COMMENCEMENT

• These regulations shall be called “The Regulations for the B. Pharm. Degree Program of the JSS
University, Noida. They shall come into effect from the Academic Year 2024-25. The regulations
framed are subject to modifications from time to time by the Executive Council and any other
regulatory body of JSS University, Noida.

2. MINIMUM QUALIFICATION FOR ADMISSION

2.1. First year B. Pharm:

• Candidate shall have passed 10+2 examination conducted by the respective state/central
government authorities recognized as equivalent to 10+2 examination by the Association of Indian
Universities (AIU) with English as one of the subjects and Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics
(P.C.M) and or Biology (P.C.B / P.C.M.B.) as optional subjects individually. Any other
qualification approved by the Pharmacy Council of India as equivalent to any of the above
examinations.

2.2. B. Pharm lateral entry (to the third semester):

• A pass in D. Pharm. course from an institution approved by the Pharmacy Council of India under
section 12 of the Pharmacy Act.
3. DURATION OF THE PROGRAM:
• The course of study for B. Pharm. shall extend over a period of eight semesters (four
academic years) and six semesters (three academic years) for lateral entry students. The
curricula and syllabi for the program shall be modified as prescribed from time to time
by the Pharmacy Council of India, New Delhi.
4. MEDIUM OF INSTRUCTION AND EXAMINATION SHALL BE IN ENGLISH.
• Medium of instruction and examination shall be in English.

5. WORKING DAYS IN EACH SEMESTER

• Each semester shall consist of working days as per PCI norms. The odd semesters shall
be conducted from the month of June/July to November/December and the even
semesters shall be conducted from December/January to May/June in every calendar
year.

6. ATTENDANCE AND PROGRESS

• A candidate is required to put in at least 75% attendance in individual courses

considering theory and practical separately. The candidate shall complete the prescribed

1
Examination Regulations for B Pharma

course satisfactorily to be eligible to appear for the respective examinations.

7. PROGRAM/COURSE CREDIT STRUCTURE

• As per the philosophy of Choice Based Credit System, a certain quantum of academic
work viz. theory classes, tutorial hours, practical classes, etc. are measured in terms of
credits. On satisfactory completion of the courses, a candidate earns credits. The amount
of credit associated with a course is dependent upon the number of hours of instruction
per week in that course. Similarly, the credit associated with any of the other academic,
co/extra-curricular activities is dependent upon the quantum of work expected to be put
in for each of these activities per week. Furthermore, credits for remedial biology and
remedial mathematics should be the same as mentioned in the PCI regulations.

8. CREDITS ASSIGNMENT
8.1. Theory and Laboratory Courses:

• Courses are broadly classified as Theory and Practical. Theory courses consist of lecture
(L) and /or tutorial (T) hours, and Practical (P) courses consist of hours spent in the
laboratory. Credits (C) for a course are dependent on the number of hours of instruction
per week in that course and are obtained by using a multiplier of one (1) for lecture and
tutorial hours, and a multiplier of half (1/2) for practical (laboratory) hours. Thus, for
example, a theory course having three lectures and one tutorial per week throughout the
semester carries a credit of 4. Similarly, a practical having four laboratory hours per
week throughout the semester carries a credit of 2.

8.2. Minimum credit requirements:

(i) The minimum credit points required for award of a B. Pharm. degree is 214. These
credits are divided into Theory courses, Tutorials, Practical, Practice School and Project
over the duration of eight semesters. The credits are distributed semester-wise as shown
in Table IX. Courses generally progress in sequences, building competencies and their
positioning indicates certain academic maturity on the part of the learners. Learners are
expected to follow the semester-wise schedule of courses given in the syllabus.
(ii) The lateral entry students shall get 52 credit points transferred from their D. Pharm.
program. Such students shall take up additional remedial courses of ‘Communication
Skills’ (Theory and Practical) and ‘Computer Applications in Pharmacy’ (Theory and
Practical) equivalent to 3 and 4 credit points respectively, a total of 7 credit points to

2
Examination Regulations for B Pharma

attain 59 credit points, the maximum of I and II semesters.

9. ACADEMIC WORK

• A regular record of attendance both in Theory and Practical shall be maintained by the
teaching staff of respective courses.

10. COURSE OF STUDY

• The course of study for B. Pharm. shall include Semester Wise Theory & Practical as given
in Table – I to VIII. The number of hours to be devoted to each theory, tutorial and practical
course in any semester shall not be less than that shown in Table – I to VIII.

Note: Grade AB should be considered as failed and treated as one head for deciding academic

22. GRADING OF PERFORMANCES

22.1. Letter grades and grade point allocations

• Based on the performances, each student shall be awarded a final letter grade at the end
of the semester for each course. The letter grades and their corresponding grade points
are given in Table – XII.
Table – XII: Letter grades and grade points equivalent to Percentage of marks and
performances
Percentage of Marks Obtained Letter Grade Grade Point Performance
90.00 – 100 O 10 Outstanding
80.00 – 89.99 A 9 Excellent
70.00 – 79.99 B 8 Good
60.00 – 69.99 C 7 Fair
50.00 – 59.99 D 6 Average
Less than 50 F 0 Fail
Absent AB 0 Fail
Note: A learner who remains absent for any end-semester examination shall be assigned a letter
grade of AB and a corresponding grade point of zero. He/she should reappear for the said
evaluation/examination in due course.

23. THE SEMESTER GRADE POINT AVERAGE (SGPA)

• The performance of a student in a semester is indicated by a number called ‘Semester

Grade Point Average’ (SGPA). The SGPA is the weighted average of the grade points
obtained in all the courses by the student during the semester. For example, if a student
takes five courses (Theory/Practical) in a semester with credits C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5 and
the student’s grade points in these courses are G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5, respectively, and
then students’ SGPA is equal to:

19
Examination Regulations for B Pharma

SGPA = (C1G1 + C2G2 + C3G3 + C4G4+ C5G5) / (C1 + C2 + C3 + C4+ C5)

The SGPA is calculated to two decimal points. It should be noted that the SGPA for any semester
shall take into consideration the F and ABS grades awarded in that semester. For example, if a
learner has an F or ABS grade in course 4, the SGPA shall then be computed as:

SGPA = (C1G1 + C2G2 + C3G3 + C4* ZERO + C5G5) / (C1 + C2 + C3 + C4+ C5)

24. CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (CGPA)

• The CGPA is calculated with the SGPA of all the VIII semesters to two decimal points
and is indicated in final grade report card/final transcript showing the grades of all VIII
semesters and their courses. The CGPA shall reflect the failed status in case of F
grade(s),till the course(s) is/are passed. When the course(s)is/are passed by obtaining a
pass grade on subsequent examination(s) the CGPA shall only reflect the new grade and
not the fail grades earned earlier. The CGPA is calculated as:
CGPA = (C1S1 + C2S2 + C3S3 + C4S4+ C5S5+ C6S6+ C7S7+ C8S8)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(C1 + C2 + C3 + C4+ C5+ C6+ C7+ C8)

where C1, C2, C3,…. is the total number of credits for semesters I, II, III,…. and S1, S2,
S3,….is the SGPA of semesters I,II, III,…..

25. DECLARATION OF CLASS

The class shall be awarded on the basis of CGPA as follows:
(i) First Class with Distinction = CGPA of. 7.50 and above
(ii) First Class = CGPA of 6.00 to 7.49
(iii) Second Class = CGPA of 5.00 to 5.99

26. PROJECT WORK

• All the students shall undertake a project under the supervision of a teacher and submit a

less than 25 pages).
• The internal and external examiner appointed by the University shall evaluate the project
at the time of the Practical examinations of other semester(s). Students shall be evaluated
