7.3.3 Grades and points
(a) The performance of the students in their course work will be evaluated in terms of letter grades:
AA, AB, BB, BC, CC, CD, DD & F. These grades are equivalent to the following points/ratings on a
10 point scale representing the quality of performance.
AA = 10, AB = 9, BB = 8, BC = 7, CC = 6, CD = 5, DD = 4, FF = 0.
(b) If a student has done a part of the course work, but has for a genuine reason not been able to
do the remaining part, the instructor may send the grade „I‟ (incomplete). In this case the student
must contact the Instructor soon after the examination and if the Instructor is convinced that the
reasons for missing a part of the course/examinations are genuine he may let the student make up
for the portion missed. The „I‟ Grade can be converted into a regular grade by the Instructor within
two weeks of the last date of the End Semester Examination. Otherwise, this will automatically be
converted into „F‟ Grade.
(a) The SGPA (Semester Grade Point Average) or CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) of a
student in any particular semester is calculated as follows:
(i) The points equivalent to the grade awarded in each course for which the student has registered
is multiplied by its unit rating.
(ii) These products are added and sum is divided by the total number of units. The ratio is the
SGPA or CGPA depending on whether the number of units refer to those in that particular semester
or to those in the total period of student‟s postgraduate program.
(b) The minimum CGPA requirement for continuing in the M. Tech. program is 5.0. However,
M Tech student securing a CGPA between 4.5 and 5.0 may be allowed to continue in the following
semester on the recommendation of the DPPC (Departmental Postgraduate Program Committee)
and with approval of the Senate.
Students who secure a CGPA below 5.0 in two consecutive semesters will not be allowed to
continue in the postgraduate program. Students must obtain a minimum CGPA of 5.0 in order to
graduate. In the first semester in which the student registers the minimum CGPA (SGPA)
requirement can be relaxed to 4.5.
7.3.5 Thesis/Project
(a) Project duration shall be one year or two semesters. Thesis supervisor(s) for a student will be
appointed from amongst the faculty members of the College of Engineering, Pune. Departments will
evolve modalities for appointing of supervisors keeping in view the students‟ aspirations and faculty
interest. The DPPC will co-ordinate this activity and will formally communicate the appointment of
thesis supervisor(s) of a student to the COE. No change/addition of Supervisor(s) is allowed after
the thesis has been submitted to the academic section. In case there has been a change/addition in
the Supervisor(s) the thesis will be submitted not earlier than three months from the date of
communication of such change/addition to the academic section.
No student once registered for thesis/project units will be allowed to continue the program without a
Thesis Supervisor having been appointed by the DPPC. No student will have more than two
6
supervisors. No change in thesis supervisor(s) will be allowed without the consent of the Chairman,
DPPC. In exceptional cases, with prior approval of the Chairman, Senate on the recommendation
of the DPPC and COE a student may be allowed to have a co-supervisor from outside the institute.
(b) Project evaluation:
Project evaluation shall be done in two phases in both the semesters. First phase of evaluation
shall be in the middle of the semester and second phase of the examination shall be after the end-
semester theory examination of the semester.
There will be separate grades awarded for the project course in two semesters. The credits in the
first semester shall be relatively less and evaluation shall be based on the literature survey,
problem definition, problem formulation, fabrication or software development and preliminary
results.
A brief report is required to be submitted at the end of semester. The evaluation and grading will
depend on the candidate‟s performance in the two phases of evaluation in the semester.
The second semester of the project shall carry relatively more weightage and the evaluation shall
involve external examiners. The details are provided in the following sub-section.
(d) The Convenor, DPPC will submit to the academic section for approval of the Chairman, DPPC
the names of the thesis/project examiners on the prescribed form, at least two weeks before the
submission of the thesis. Unbound typed copies of thesis/project one for each examiner prepared
according to the prescribed format available in the academic section will be submitted at least one
week before the probable date of the oral examination. The oral
examination will be held within two months from the date of submission of the thesis/project. If
however the student does not make available for the examination, his/her program will be deemed
to have been terminated. Request for revival of the program by such a student should be
addressed to the Chairman, Senate.
The Department will record the date of submission of the thesis/project and arrange to send the
thesis to the examiners. The supervisor/program co-ordinator will inform the examiners of the date
of the oral examination and send a copy to the academic section. The thesis/project will be
evaluated and the Oral Examination conducted by the Committee on the scheduled date. The
report will be communicated by the Convener, DPPC to the academic section for record and
necessary action.
The grade to be awarded to a student shall be evolved by the committee by consensus. The report
of the oral examination committee including the grade shall be submitted to the Convenor, DPPC
by the committee.

recommend its acceptance. Otherwise thesis/project will be considered to have been rejected. If a
thesis/project is rejected along with a recommendation by the Committee for resubmission after
incorporating and modification/correction suggested by the Committee, oral examination for the re-
submitted thesis/project will be conducted by the same Committee unless otherwise approved by
the Chairman Senate. If the resubmitted thesis/project is rejected, the matter will be reported to the
