ACADEMIC STANDING,
RETAKE EXAMINATION / REPEATING
In each term Cumulative Grade Point Average
(CGPA) will be computed to determine the
academic standing of the student in the program.
All courses taken by a student for credit and the
grades earned thereon are included in computing
the final CGPA.
Since passing of all courses individually is a
degree requirement, a student failing to secure
pass marks (40%) in any course for any reason
whatsoever must retake the examination of that
course in the following year(s).

B. Copying from another student's script/

report/paper;
c. Copying from printed matter, hand written
manuscripts, writing from desk or palm of a
hand;
d. Possessing any document with a malafide
intent, whether used or not;
e. Approaching a teacher directly or indirectly to
influence a grade; and
f. Any unruly behavior which disrupts academic
program.
If adoption of unfair means is detected, at the
discretion of the teacher, the student concerned
may be given an 'F' grade for that assignment,
surprise test, paper, report, examination or for that
course.
Adoption of unfair means may also result in the
dismissal of the student from the Institute and from
the National University.

A student wishing to improve his grade may also

be allowed to retake the term-end examination of
the course in the following year(s). Improvement
of grade is permissible only for grade B and below
B under the present grading system. However,
retake examinations for mid-term, tutorials, etc.
may be allowed before the completion of classschedule of a course only at the discretion of the
course teacher and for some specified reasons.
The result obtained in the retake examination is
substituted only if it is passing mark/grade and
better than the previous one.
A student can retake at best 6 courses during
the entire MBM enrolment. Retake in more than 6
courses would automatically expel the student
from the MBM program. Generally a student can
retake an examination of a course only once.
Extraordinary cases (for retake) may be
recommended by the Institute to the National
University for consideration.

APPEAL AGAINST GRADE

Although it is generally acknowledged that an
individual teacher is the best judge of a student's
performance in a given course, a student may
occasionally consider a grade to have been
unfairly assigned. In such cases, the student may
wish to file a formal appeal against the grade with
the National University through BIBM.

A student failing to maintain minimum required

class attendance of 75% will not be allowed to sit
for the term-end examination of a course and will
have to repeat the course (along with required
attendance afresh) in subsequent years.
WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PROGRAM
Temporary withdrawal from the program must be
with permission from National University on the
basis of recommendation from BIBM. Such
withdrawal would be permissible once only on
request from a student after completion of at least

standing (minimum CGPA of 3.00) only will be
allowed to apply for withdrawal from the program.
A student temporarily withdrawing must, however,
complete the program within a period of 5
academic years from the date of initial
