Financial Aid for Students:

Need-Based Assistance
Students seeking preferential financial assistance will be expected to file a statement claiming that they do not have
the financial means to pursue their education. This may be a DIRECT REJECTION of the student's early declaration
at the time of application submission. . That he or she would not seek financial support from the school based on
need. This allowance is made to cover any unexpected financial hardship that the student's parent or guardian will
face. Students who plan to apply for any of the financial aid programs must be enrolled in a complete course load at
IBIT for both graduate and undergraduate programs. In addition, this program is only available to normal (morning)
students. Financial assistance services are not available to "evening," "special," or "probation" students.

Scholarships
Students who have shown outstanding academic achievement are eligible for merit scholarships from IBIT.
Normally, 10% of each session's students earn a scholarship each semester. In addition, IBIT is planning for a
variety of endowed scholarships to be administered by individuals and other organizations. Graduate scholarships
are given out on the basis of academic achievement and sufficient preparation for graduate study in the student's
chosen field, as shown by the academic record. Admission to a degree program, participation in coursework leading
to the degree, fair success in the degree program, strong academic status, CGPA, and, in some cases, references and
personal statements are all requirements for scholarship eligibility.

Assistantships
There are also research and teaching assistantships available in many of the subjects taught at the undergraduate and
graduate levels. Only students who have been unconditionally admitted to the Institute are entitled. For more details,
prospective graduate students may contact the appropriate department chair. . To be continued on a study or teaching
assistantship, a student must be in good standing and have satisfactorily fulfilled assigned duties in the previous
semesters, as determined by the respective faculty member.

Rules and Regulations:

Attendance Policy
A student must have an attendance rate of 85 percent in each class. However, the Director will relax the requirement
to 80 percent in the event of unforeseen/exceptional circumstances (e.g., death of father, mother, real sister/brother,
etc.). For any expected absence, a Leave Form must be completed and signed by the parent or guardian. Admission
may be cancelled if students do not stick to the attendance policy in any of their enrolled courses.

Course Add/Drop
• With the approval of the program coordinator/director, students can drop a course for which they have registered
and replace it with another course in the same semester. However, this must be completed by the end of the first
week of the semester.
• A student can drop a course within 5 weeks of the semester's start date with the permission of the program
coordinator/director. If a course is dropped, the college transcript will not reflect this.

• When calculating the maximum number of courses a student can drop in each semester, the "Rules for Promotion"
will be used.

Grading Policy
Equivalence in numerical grades, letter grades and grade points is following:

Percent Marks Letter Grade Grade Points

85 & above A 4.00

80-84 A- 3.70

75-79 B+ 3.30

70-74 B 3.00

65-69 B- 2.70

61-64 C+ 2.30

58-60 C 2.00

55-57 C- 1.70

50-54 D 1.00

Below 50 F 0.00

• The maximum grade point average that can be achieved is 4.00.

• A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 is required for a four-year Bachelor's (Hons.) degree.

• A fraction of a mark in a course should be counted as a single mark, for example, 64.1 or 64.9 should be displayed
as 65.

Calculation of Grade Point Average (GPA) for a semester

To determine the GPA, multiply Grade Points by the number of Credit Hours in each Course to get total grade
points, add them up, and divide by the total number of Credit Hours to get the semester's GPA.

For the purposes of determining semester GPA, a course with a ‘F' would be counted as a ‘Zero' grade point. Only
after an applicant has completed all of the courses available for a degree can the CGPA be calculated.

Repeating Courses
• If a course is required for graduation, students would be required to repeat it if they dropped it or received a ‘F',
‘W', or ‘WF' grade in it. The previously won grade would be removed from the CGPA calculation until the course is
repeated. Both grades, however, will appear on the academic transcript.
• If a student is eligible to retake a course, but that course is no longer offered, he or she must take a substitute
course. The program coordinator/director will recommend and authorize the replacement course.

• A student who earns an "F" rating has two opportunities to boost it before it is factored into his or her CGPA
estimate.
