INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY KHARAGPUR KHARAGPUR 721 302 Senate Approved Modifications in the Existing Academic Regulations

The Senate considered the proposal of the UGPEC regarding the modifications in the existing academic regulations and approved the following: 1. Subject Deregistration/Revocation The student can be deregistered in a subject of a semester by the concerned teacher on the ground of poor attendance. If a student does not have a minimum 80% of attendance in a subject, he/she can be deregistered from the subject at the discretion of the subject teacher. Only one-time deregistration is permissible and no revocation of the deregistered subject is admissible, except for genuine medical grounds. Warning should be given to the students by the subject teacher through ERP. The deregistration process can commence after the MidSemester Examination and must be completed within 4 (four) weeks after the Mid-Semester Examination. However, in case of Project (BTP and MTP for Dual Degree), Comprehensive Viva Voce and Summer Training/Internship, there is no scope for deregistration by the concerned teachers. 2. Additional Subject Registration The following point should be added to the existing rule: A student can drop an additional subject following the proper procedure within 3 (three) weeks from the commencement of the semester; otherwise the subject will remain registered and the subject will be mandatorily reflected on the Grade Card even with F grade. 3. Minor Registration Students aspiring for a Minor in a discipline must register for the same in the beginning of the 5th Semester. Only those students, who have a CGPA of 7.5 or above, without any Backlog, will be permitted to register for a Minor. An SGPA of 8.0 or a CGPA of 8.0 has to be maintained in the subsequent semesters without any Backlog in order to keep the Minor Registration active. Should both the SGPA and CGPA fall below 8.0 at any point after taking minor; the Minor Registration will cease to be active. . 4. Late Subject Registration Semester registration must be completed within 1 (one) week of the prescribed registration date; otherwise the semester registration will be cancelled. The Faculty Advisor should approve the semester registration through ERP within one week of the prescribed registration date. The hardcopy of the Registration Card must be signed by the student in the presence of the faculty advisor. The faculty advisor will subsequently sign the registration card and send to the academic section within two weeks of the prescribed registration date.

5. Conversion of CGPA into Percentage Marks In case of a specific query by students/employers regarding conversion of CGPA into percentage marks, the following formula will be adopted for notional conversion of CGPA into percentage marks: Percentage Marks = CGPA 10 6. Method of CGPA Calculation For the calculation of CGPA, total credits taken should be considered in order to reflect the true academic performance of the student. While calculating CGPA, the grade point of F grade should be taken as zero. 7. Striking-off the Name from the Institute Roll List If a student does not register for 3 (three) consecutive semesters, without the approval of the competent authority, his/her name will be struck off from the Institute Roll List. 8. Backlog Registration The following point should be added to the existing rule: The credits of Industrial Training, Field Trips (GG and MI students), Comprehensive Viva Voce and EAA should be excluded while calculating the 21 or 16 credit limits per semester for backlog/year repeating students.
