General Information

The medium of instruction at the Institute is English.

Course credits and grade: Each academic course is associated with a credit which is an indicator of its relative academic weight in calculating the academic
performance. A two-letter grade is awarded to students on the basis of their performance in examinations and assignments of a specific course. The letter grades
have numerical equivalents on a 0-10 scale as given below.
Letter Grade AP AA AB BB BC CC CD DD FF FR W DX PP NP AU
Numerical Equivalent 10 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 0 0 – – – – –
FF: Fail, FR: Fail and repeat, W: Withdrawn, DX: Insufficient attendance, AU: Satisfactory performance in an audit course, PP: Pass, NP: Not Pass. The minimum passing
grade in a course is DD. The grade AP is awarded to students with exceptional performance in core courses of a programme. Numerical equivalents of letter grades
are referred to as grade points.
The numerical grade points are not convertible into marks or percentages.
Performance Indicators: The performance of a student in a semester is given by a number called the Semester Performance Index (SPI),which is the weighted average
of the earned grade points in the courses during the semester.
If a student has courses with credits C1, C2,..., Cn, with grade points of G1, G2,..., Gn respectively, then

Semester Credits = C1 + C2 + ... + Cn. Semester Grade Points = C1G1 + C2G2 + ... + CnGn. SPI = Semester Grade Points ÷ Semester Credits.
Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) is the weighted average of the grade points in the courses in all semesters. The indices SPI and CPI are calculated upto two
decimal places.
Courses are tagged as MA: Mandatory (Core/Elective), MI: Minor, HO: Honours, AL: Additional Learning, AU: Audit
Each degree programme has mandatory credits consisting of core courses, elective courses, and non credit courses. These courses are tagged as MA.
For calculation of SPI and CPI, grades obtained only in mandatory courses (MA) are considered.
Students can supplement the learning experience by crediting additional courses. Credits earned in these courses, when appropriate, can earn additional
credentials either in the form of "Honours" (HO) in the chosen discipline or "Minor" (MI) in another discipline or both.
"Honours" is not indicative of proficiency, and can be earned by completing the additional prescribed set of advanced core and elective courses in the chosen
discipline. "Minor" can be earned by completing the prescribed set of courses in a discipline other than the chosen discipline. Additional courses that are not used
for earning "Honours" or "Minor" are tagged as "Additional Learning" (AL).
The AU is awarded based on satisfactory attendance and fulfilling the minimum requirements as set by the course instructor.It carries no grade points and does
not figure in SPI or CPI calculations.
PP or NP is awarded in some credit courses that are not earmarked with a letter grade. Correspondingly, PP/NP does not carry a grade point.
O-IITB is/are the Course(s) completed by a student outside IIT Bombay (NPTEL/ Swayam). These course(s) contribute towards the completion of credits for a
degree requirement. However, grades/marks earned for such course(s) is/are not considered for SPI / CPI calculation.

The Institute does not award any class or division. Notionally, the CPI may be multiplied by a factor of 10 to obtain a numerical percentage.
