The following procedure shall be adopted to compute the Semester Grade Point Average
(SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA);
6
CE R-15
i. The Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is the ratio of sum of the product of the
number of credits with the grade points scored by a student in all the courses taken by
a student and the sum of the number of credits of all the courses undergone by a
student, i.e.
SGPA = Σ (Ci × Gi)/ Σ Ci
Where, Ci is the number of credits of the ith subject and Gi is the grade point scored
by the student in the ith course.
ii. The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) will be computed in the same manner
taking into account all the courses undergone by a student over all the semesters of a
program, i.e.
CGPA = Σ (Ci × Si)/ Σ Ci
Where ‘Si’ is the SGPA of the ith semester and Ci is the total number of credits in that
semester.
iii. Both SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points and reported in the
transcripts.
iv. While computing the GPA/CGPA the subjects in which the student is awarded Zero
grade points will also be included.
Grade Point: It is a numerical weight allotted to each letter grade on a 10-point scale.
Letter Grade: It is an index of the performance of students in a said course. Grades are
denoted by letters S, A, B, C, D, E and F.
11. Award of Class:
After a student has satisfied the requirements prescribed for the completion of the program
and is eligible for the award of B. Tech. Degree he/she shall be placed in one of the
following four classes:
Class Awarded CGPA Secured
First Class with Distinction ≥ 7.5
First Class ≥ 6.5 < 7.5
Second Class ≥ 5.5 < 6.5
Pass Class ≥ 4.0 < 5.5
(The marks in internal evaluation and external Examination shall be shown separately in
the marks memorandum)
Further, CGPA to a maximum of extent of 0.05 shall be added which is just sufficient to
effect change of class from pass class to Second class, Second class to First class, First class
to First class with distinction for all the courses being offered, without adding any marks to
the original marks secured by the students.
7
CE R-15
12. GAP Year: Concept of Student Entrepreneur in Residence shall be introduced and
outstanding students who wish to pursue entrepreneurship are allowed to take a break of one year
at any time after II year to pursue entrepreneurship full time. This period may be extended to two
years at the most and these two years would not be counted for the time for the maximum time
for graduation. The Head of the respective department shall forward such proposals submitted by
the students to the College. An evaluation committee shall be constituted by the College to
evaluate the proposal submitted by the student and the committee shall decide whether or not to
permit student(s) to avail the Gap Year.
13. Minimum Instruction Days: The minimum instruction days including exams for each
semester shall be 90 days.
14. There shall be no branch transfers after the completion of admission process.
15. There shall be no place for transfer within the Constituent Colleges.
16. General:
i. The academic regulations should be read as a whole for purpose of any interpretation.
ii. Malpractices rules- nature and punishments are appended
iii. Where the words “he”, “him”, “his”, occur in the regulations, they include “she”,
“her”, “hers” respectively.
iv. In the case of any doubt or ambiguity in the interpretation of the above rules, the
decision of the Principal is final.
v. The college may change or amend the academic regulations or syllabi at any time and
the changes or amendments shall be made applicable to all the students on roles with
effect from the dates notified by the institution.
