5. Passing requirements:

(i) A candidate who secures not less than 50% of total marks prescribed for the course (For all coursesincluding Theory, Practicals and Project work) with a minimum of 35 marks out of 80 in the UniversityTheory Examinations, shall be declared to have passed in the Examination.

(ii) If a candidate fails to secure a Pass in a particular course, it is mandatory that he/she shall reappearfor the examination in that course during the next semester when examination is conducted in thatcourse. However the Internal Assessment marks obtained by the candidate in the first attempt shallbe retained and considered valid for all subsequent attempts.

6. Eligibility for the Award of Degree

A student shall be declared to be eligible for the award of the B.E/B.Tech. degree provided the student hassuccessfully completed the course requirements and has passed all the prescribed examinations in all the 8semesters within the maximum period specified in clause 2.

7. Award of Credits and Grades:

All assessments of a course will be done on absolute marks basis. However, for the purpose of reporting theperformance of a candidate, Letter Grades will be awarded as per the range of total marks (out of 100) obtainedby the candidate as given below:

RANGE OF MARKS FOR GRADES

Range of Marks Grade Grade Points (GP)

90-100 A++ 10

80-89 A+ 9

70-79 B++ 8

60-69 B+ 7

50-59 C 6

00-49 F 0

ABSENT W 0

CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE CALCULATION

The CGPA calculation on a 10 scale basis is used to describe the overall performance of a student inall courses from first semester to the last semester. F and W grades will be excluded for calculatingGPA and CGPA.

CGPA = Σi Ci GPi

Σi Ci

where Ci - Credits for the subject

GPi - Grade Point for the subject

Σi - Sum of all subjects successfully cleared during all the semesters

8. Classification of the Degree Awarded
