- Summary of Credit Hours Requirements
In addition to theory courses, there must be some sessional courses in each semester for engineering programmes, and there may be some sessional courses in some terms for other programmes. If a student fails to attend 40% of the classes in a registered course in a semester, regardless of the reasons, registration for that course will be canceled and the course will be treated as Incomplete (I) course. The rest of the marks are awarded for the three-hour final exam.
The number of class tests/quizzes/presentation of a course must be n+1, where n is the number of points for the course. Evaluation of performance in class tests/quizzes/presentations must be done on the basis of the best n class tests/quizzes/presentations. For the English department Fifty percent (50%) of grades from a theoretical course must be assigned to ongoing assessment, i.e.
The number of classroom tests/quizzes/presentations of a course is n, where n is the number of credits of the course. Evaluation of performance in classroom tests/quizzes/presentations will take place on the basis of all n classroom tests/quizzes/presentations. Examinations on sessional/practical subjects will be conducted by the concerned department before the end of the semester.
The maximum letter grade that can be obtained in the improvement exam is 'B+' and if he/she cannot improve, the previous letter grade for the final exam takes precedence. Referred, remedial, and backlog courses in each level semester must be treated as self-study (ie, maintain grades already earned from class tests and class participation with class performance). The special back examination shall be arranged at a suitable time after 30 (thirty) days after the publication of the final results of Level-4 Semester II Examination.
In that case, he/she is exempt from repeating the passed theory and session courses. No exemption shall be granted to a student if a student repeats the level/term due to punishment. The time and date for course registration will be announced in advance by the registrar's office.
The final report, submitted by a student, is assessed by the supervisor and any co-supervisor. The Viva-Voce grades awarded by the individual board members are averaged in preparation for the final result.
