c) Grade Point Average (GPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
Grade Point Average (GPA) is the weighted average of the grade points obtained of all the courses passed/completed by a student. For example, if a student passes/completes n courses in a term having credits of C1, C2, …, Cn and his grade points in these courses are G1, G2, …, Gn respectively then
The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is the weighted average of the GPA obtained in all the terms passed/completed by a student. For example, if a student passes/ completes n terms having total credits of TC1, TC2, …, TCn and his GPA in these terms are GPA1, GPA2, GPAn respectively then
Suppose a student has completed eight courses in a term and obtained the following grades:
Course Credits, Ci Grade Grade, Gi Points, CI*Gi
CE 1103 3.00 A- 3.50 10.50
CE 1100 1.50 A+ 4.00 6.00

HUM 1110 1.50 A+ 4.00 6.00
Total 20.00 66.00
GPA = 66/20 = 3.30
Suppose a student has completed four terms and obtained the following GPA.
Level Term Credit Earned, TCI Hours GPA Earned, GPAi GPAi*TCi
1 I 21.00 3.73 78.330
1 II 20.50 3.93 80.565
2 I 19.75 3.96 78.210
2 II 20.25 4.00 81.000
Total 81.50 318.105
CGPA = 318.105/81.50 = 3.90 d) Course Withdrawal
If a student is unable to complete the Term Final Examination due to illness, accident or any other valid reason, he/ she may apply in prescribed form to the Registrar through his/ her Head of the Department for total withdrawal from the Term within 7 (seven) working days after the end of the Term final examination. However, he/ she may choose not to withdraw any laboratory/ sessional/
design course if the grade obtained in such a course is ‘D’ or better and that he/ she has to indicate clearly in his/ her withdrawal application. In case of illness the withdrawal application must be supported by a medical certificate from CMH/Medical Officer of BAUST. The Academic Council shall take the final decision about such an application.
e) Incomplete (I) courses
If a student fails to attend 60% of the classes of any registered course in a Term whatever be the reasons, the registration shall be cancelled for that course and the course will be treated as Incomplete (I) course.
f) Referred/Backlog/Special Backlog
a. Referred Examination: The failed theory course(s) of the term final examination will be treated as referred course(s). Only for Level-1, Term-I, a student failed in a maximum of 3 (three) theory courses in the final examination will get a chance to appear in the next consequent referred examination because such a student will have no backlog course(s). But the student will not be promoted to the next higher level and Term if he/she cannot clear at least one fail theory course out of the 3 (three) fail courses in the referred examination. Students having referred course (maximum three for L-1, T-I and maximum two for all other Levels and Terms) will have to appear in the next consequent referred examination, which will be held combinedly with the Improvement and Backlog examinations at the end of each semester or at the beginning of the next semester at any convenient time as decided by the authority. The maximum grade obtainable in Referred examinations shall be ‘B’.
b. Backlog Examination: From Level-1 Term-II and higher a student may have a maximum of 3 cumulative Backlog courses. Backlog course(s) are those theory course(s) which a student registered in a Term but even after the Final and Referred Examination he/she obtained ‘F’ grade in that course(s). The maximum obtainable grade in the Backlog examination shall be ‘B’. A student will get a maximum of 04 (four) chances to clear the Backlog course(s).
c. Special Backlog Examination: A Special Backlog Examination on only Backlog courses may be conducted for the students who have participated in their 4-year degree course (up to level-4 term- II) and have a shortage of maximum 12 (twelve) credits to obtain the Bachelor degree. The special backlog examination shall be arranged in a convenient time after 30 (thirty) days of publication of the final results of the level-4 term-II examination. The evaluation system shall be same as backlog with self-study. The students willing to appear at the special backlog examination have to apply to the Head of the Department and with his permission must register within 7 (seven) working days of publication of Level-4 Term-II Final and Backlog examination results. A student who will fail in the special backlog examination shall have to register the failed course(s) in the next regular term.
A Students will be allowed to appear for a maximum of 3 (three) courses in the Referred and /or Backlog Examination and /or Improvement in a term.
g) Grade Improvement
A student may also appear in the next consequent Improvement examination for the passed theory course(s) with letter grades less than ‘B+’ in the final examination. The maximum letter grade obtainable in the improvement examination shall be ‘B+’ and if he/she cannot improve, the obtained grade of the final examination shall prevail.
h) Dropout
If a student fails to get him/herself promoted to the next higher level/term on poor academic performance, he/she has to take readmission in the same level and term in which he/she failed as a repeater student. In such case he/she shall be exempted from repeating the passed theory and sessional courses. A Repeater student will have to repeat only those theory and sessional courses in which he/she has failed even after the final and referred examinations.
