The Grading System
- The Letter Grade
- Distribution of Marks
- Calculation of CGPA
- Minimum Earned Credit and GPA Requirement for Obtaining Degree
- Attendance
- Teacher-Student Interaction
- Conduct and Discipline
A student's performance is measured by the number of satisfactorily completed credit points and the weighted average of the obtained grades. A course in which a student receives grades of “F” will not count toward credit hour requirements and the calculation of grade point average (GPA). The number of class tests/quizzes of the course is n+1, where n is the number of course credits.
Performance evaluation in class tests/quizzes will be based on the best n class tests/quizzes. The Grade Point Average (GPA) is the weighted average of the grades of all courses taken/completed by the student. The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is the weighted average of the GPA earned over all semesters a student has taken/completed.
Department heads, Proctor, Student Welfare Advisor (ASW) and Dean can address the students at regular intervals.
