10.8 Beyond this 20% concession, under no circumstances (except for medial exigencies)
Participant will be given extra attendance. In case of not meeting with 80% attendance
requirement in each course, following grade penalty will be imposed.
Attendance of Participant Grade Penalty

One Grade drop
1. More than or equal to 70% but less than 80%
(e.g. from A+ to A)
Two Grade drop
(e.g. from A+ to A-)
Three grade drop
(e.g. from A+ to B+)
4. Less than 50% F grade will be awarded
10.9 If a Participant gets the D grade in a particular course and also gets a grade drop due to
attendance shortage, ‘D’ will become an ‘F’ grade.
11.0. GRADING
11.1. The course instructor will assign an aggregate numeric score to each Participant,
which will be the weighted sum of components’ numeric scores.
11.2. Using the aggregate numeric score, the course instructor will assign a letter grades to
each Participant. The following eight letter grades on a ten-point scale will be used for
this purpose:
Letter Grade A+ A A- B+ B B- C+ C C- D F
Grade Points 10 9 8 7 6.5 6 5.5 5 4.5 4 0
11.3. If a participant has not fulfilled the academic requirements of a course, he/she may be
assigned “I” (Incomplete) grade temporarily, representing non-completion of the
academic requirements of the course. It will be replaced by the grade as assigned by

the course instructor, after the completion of course requirements by the participant. If
for any reason, the participant fails to complete the course within 30 days, then the “I”
grade would be automatically converted into an “F” grade.
11.4. Course instructors will specify the range of aggregate numeric score for each letter
grade point. The cut off for the F grade is 35%. The score ranges for the remaining
letter grades should form natural clusters.
11.5. The distribution of grades should be approximately normal. While slight deviation from
normality is expected and sometimes natural, major deviations, in either direction,
should be remedied as far as possible.
11.6. Faculty members must submit the grades in following pattern only:
GRADE DISTRIBUTION
A+ Not more than 5% of the batch
A+, A, A- Not more than 20% of the batch
A+, A, A-,B+, B,B- Not more than 75% of the batch
11.7. The course instructor will submit numeric scores and letter grades (along with the
attendance records and answer books of the final term examination) to the MBA Office
within 10 days of the Final Term Examination.
11.8. The MBA Office will make reductions (if any) in the grade points on the basis of
attendance records as per the rules laid down in the paragraph 10.7.
11.9. In order to maintain consistency across the courses and to avoid substantial deviations
from the grading norms of the Institute, the MBA Committee may suggest the course
instructor to make suitable changes in grading. The final decision regarding grade
change will be made by the MBA Committee.
11.10. The Term Grade Point Average (TGPA) will be calculated by computing the sum of
grade points in the respective courses multiplying by their respective credits, and
dividing it by the total credits for all courses in the term. Similarly, the Cumulative
Grade Point Average (CGPA) will be calculated at the end of each term as a composite
index of the academic performance of the Participant up to that stage in the
Programme.
11.11. In case of multiple faculty teaching same course across sections, marks will be
normalised and then will be graded.
11.12. Deficit Credit Points (DCPs) are indicators of the performance below the acceptable
standard. Participants must work consistently to avoid such DCP grades as cumulative
DCPs will result in failure to complete requirements for promotion to second year and
for award of Degree. DCPs will be calculated as follow:
(a) For an F Grade: 5 DCPs multiplied by the Course Credit (1 or 0.5 as the case
may be)
(b) For a D Grade: 2 DCPs multiplied by the Course Credit (1 or 0.5 as the case
may be)

11.13. In order to qualify for promotion to the second year, the Participant's CGPA at the
end of the first year must not be less than 4.50 and/or he / she should not accumulate
more than 15 DCPs.
11.14. In order to qualify for the Degree,
(a) the Participant's CGPA at the end of the second year must not be less than
5.00.
(b) He / She should not accumulate more than 15 DCPs in Year 2. At the end of
first and second year of Programme, Participant should not accumulate more
than 15 DCPs in each year respectively. He / She should not accumulate more
than 20 DCPs in two years taken together.
(c) Participant must complete minimum number of electives in each term of
second year which is as follows:
Term-IV: minimum 6
Term-V: minimum 5
Term-VI: minimum 4
(d) Participants are required to complete a minimum of 15 credits through

elective courses /Course of Independent Study (CIS) / Dissertation. Additionally,
they must complete minimum 2 Industry Workshops of 12.5 hours in entire
second year.
Participants are advised to fulfil all the 4 above mentioned criteria together in
order to get the Degree. Any kind of lapse regarding same will be led to
withholding of Degree.

4 above mentioned criteria to qualify for Degree.

Participants take loans to fund their education. Participants belonging to SC/ST and
similar others do get financial support under government schemes. The Institute is
also putting in place Merit-cum-Means scholarships.
While these are all helpful mechanisms, there will always be times when Participants
will be faced with unforeseen or distress situations, like health, accidents, and family
issues. Financial hardship during such crises situation is likely to impact negatively not

to finance their educational expenses at IIM Kashipur. Procurement and repayment of

with the loan.
