Guidelines for Award of Letter Grade
In general there shall be no rigid marks - to - grade linkage. Difficulty levels of the examinations, tests,
assignments, viva-voce and other factors that contributed to the final marks are to be considered by the
teacher/co-ordination committee of a course while converting marks into letter grades.
1. In general there shall be no rigid marks - to - grade linkage. Difficulty levels of the examinations, tests,
assignments, viva-voce and other factors that contributed to the final marks are to be considered by the
teacher/co-ordination committee of a course while converting marks into letter grades.
2. a) The grades ‗F‘ and ‗A+‘ are to be considered as bench mark grades.
b) For courses which have a laboratory component (P-component), to secure any grade higher than
'F' a candidate has to achieve individually more than the cut-off marks in both the theory
component and the laboratory component. Otherwise, he/she has to achieve higher than the cut-off
marks in the theory component alone.
c) The range of cut-off marks below which a candidate would be assigned 'F' grade is 33% for the
theory component and 33% for the laboratory component, the exact cut-off marks is to be decided
by the teacher/co-ordination committee.
d) The exceptionally brilliant performance is to be assigned an 'A+' grade. Even the best candidate of
any class needs to be good enough to be awarded the 'A+' grade.
3. In the case of a relatively large class and/or classes where the performance level depicts more or less
a normal distribution:
a) The average performance (around mean value of marks) is to be assigned 'C' grade. However, if by
teacher's/co-ordination committee's perception the general level of the class is considered to be
appreciably high, the average performance may be assigned 'B' grade.
b) All other marks to grade conversion are to be done relatively with respect to the average
performance in between (but excluding) the F and A+ grades, which have already been assigned,
by choosing appropriate boundary marks between grades.
c) Normally, in a reasonably large class of candidates distribution of grades is expected to be as
follows
A+ : < = 10 %
A : 10 – 20 %
B, C, D : 20 – 35%
P : 10 – 26%
F : < = 5%
4. In the case where a candidate appears in the special examination, the conversion from marks to grade
would be done applying the same norm as was framed for the original class.
5. For classes where excessive bunching occurs resulting in all most all the marks tending to cluster in to
same category, conversion from marks to grade may be done using the Table–VI (i) given below,
where 'm' stands for the marks obtained.
6. Co-ordination committee would moderate the results of the different sections of a class if wide disparity
in performance across sections were observed.
7. All the requirements for the laboratory component are to be satisfied by a candidate within deadline
set-up by the teacher/co-ordination committee before the start of the end - semester examination. If a
candidate due to a genuine reason like illness of himself/herself or calamity in the family cannot
complete a particular sub-component, the teacher/co-ordination committee may allocate him/her
additional time. In this case an I - grade if needed may temporarily be allocated to the candidate in the
course. However, the requirement in any case has to be fulfilled within 15 days after the end of the end
- semester examination and the grade finalized.
8. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) will be calculated for only those candidates who have
passed all courses till previous semester including candidates registered for M. Sc. (Engg.)
Programme of PU (for transitory regulation candidates).

9. The academic status of a candidate in a particular semester shall be based on total performance/
evaluation for the courses offered for the programme during the current semester.
10. The academic status shall be also recorded on the Grade Card issued to the candidate. The logic
table for determining Academic status is placed below in Table–VI (ii) for reference.

11. Due to disciplinary reasons or any other reason if a candidate is recommended for appearing at
regular/ Special end semester examination with reduced grades, then the grade award will be one
lower than the actual grade thus scored, except that of performance grade 'P' remains unaltered.
19
Grades shall be as elucidated in the table given below:

B C

To arrive at the lowered grade as above, the candidate‘s marks shall be reduced by 10% of the full
marks from the marks obtained in each component. However in case of ―P‖ grade marks shall be
reduced only up to minimum limit of passing marks in that component (i.e. up to minimum 33% for
theory and 40% for practical component). In case of ―F‖ grade NO Change or reduction of marks shall

be done.‖
