Course-Wise Letter Grades

The percentage of marks obtained by a candidate in a course will be indicated in a
letter grade.

A student is considered to have completed a course successfully and earned the

credits if he/she secures over all grades other than F. A letter grade F in any course implies
a failure in that course. A course successfully completed cannot be repeated for the purpose
of improving the Grade Point.

The F Grade once awarded stays in the grade card of the student and is not deleted
even when he/she completes the course successfully later. The grade acquired later by the
student will be indicated in the grade sheet of the Odd/Even semester in which the
candidate has appeared for clearance of the arrears.

If a student secures F grade in the Project Work/ Field Work/ Practical Work/
Dissertation, either he/she shall improve it and resubmit it if it involves only rewriting
incorporating the clarification of the evaluators or he/she can re-register and carry out the
same in the subsequent semesters for evaluation.
