Examination and evaluation:
Though absolute marking should be the guiding principle of evaluation of performance of students, the performance measure should be reported in terms of grades as per the following classification:
Conversion of marks to Grades:
Actual marks secured by a group of candidates are converted into Relative Percentile
(R) before conversion into Relative Letter Grades. The maximum actual marks (i.e. highest mark) (M) secured in a particular group is converted into 100% and other actual marks (A) secured by the students of the same group are converted to the relative percentile
R= Relative Percentile
M = Maximum (Highest) marks in the class.
A= Actual marks of a student who passed i.e. if the actual mark is not less than 30%.
b. Conversion Table: The letter grades and the corresponding grade points are as follows :
Range of Relative percentile |
Letter Grades |

| 90-100 |

| 75-89 |

In addition, there shall be one transitional grades ‘I’’ used by the instructors. The teacher of a subject may award the grade ‘I’ to a student if the latter was compelled to absent him / her- self from the end semester examination on account of:
- Illness or accident which disabled him from appearing at the examination.
- A calamity in the family at the time of the examination, which, in the opinion of the Institute, required the student to be away from the campus.
A student will be eligible for the award of grade ‘I’ only if his / her attendance at classes and performance in other components of assessment are complete and satisfactory. Evaluation is based of the specific clauses mentioned in the programme-specific University Ordinance.
