13.8. Minimum for a Pass

A candidate who secures not less than 40 % marks in a subject at the end semester

examination and not less than 50 % of the total marks assigned to the course, shall

be declared to have passed the examination in that subject.

13.9. Grading

The university shall award the letter grade to students based on the marks secured

by them in both internal assessment and end-semester examinations taken together

in the subjects registered. Each letter grade indicates a qualitative assessment of the

student’s performance and is associated with a specified number of grade points. The

grading system along with the grade points for each grade, applicable to passed

candidates is shown below. All passed candidate will be allotted a grade S,A+, A,

B+,B, C, D and U according to the total marks scored by him/her. Absolute Marks

secured by the candidates will also be included in the Mark list.If a candidate does

not pass a subject as per the conditions given in Section 10, he/she will be assigned

an Unsatisfactory grade ‘U’ irrespective of his/her total marks.


14

A student is considered to have completed a subject successfully and earned the

credits if he/she secures a letter grade other than ‘U’ in that course. Letter grade ‘U’

has zero grade point and the candidate has to write the examination again to improve

the grade. A student's performance is measured by the number of credits that he/she

has earned and by the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) maintained by

him/her.

55% and above but less than 60% C 6

50% and above but less than 55% D 5

Less than 50 U 0

For converting CGPA to percentage of marks, the following formula can be used.

Percentage marks = CGPA x 10.

14. Methods of Awarding Grades

i. For the first semester, University will award grades based on percentage of marks

obtained in each subject as per clause 13.5.09. The percentage of marks is calculated

considering internal continuous assessment and end semester examination marks put

together.

ii. For second semester onwards grades will be awarded as per the following procedure:

A final meeting of the academic committee will be convened within 7 days after the

last day of the end semester examination. The letter grades to be awarded to the

students for different subject will be finalized at this meeting. Two copies of the result

sheets for each subject containing absolute marks should be submitted by the teacher

to the University.

15. Declaration of results

i. The letter grades awarded to the students in each course will be put on the

departmental notice board soon after the final Academic Committee meeting.

In case a student feels aggrieved, he/she can contact the concerned teachers for a

second look at his /her performance but not later than two weeks from the

commencement of the semester following the announcement of the results. The


15

student shall have access to his/her answer paper(s) in the end semester examination

which may be shown to him/her by the teacher(s) concerned.

If the teacher feels that the case is genuine he/she may reexamine and forward the

revised grade, if any, to the Course Coordinator through the Chairman of the Class

Committee with justification for the revision and with the intimation to Head of the

Department.

ii. The U grade once awarded stays in the record of the student and is deleted when

he/she completes the course later, indicating also the number of attempts made in that

course. The CGPA will be accordingly revised deleting ‘U’ as the case may be in the

earlier attempts in that course. The grade acquired by the student later will be

indicated in the grade card of the appropriate semester.

16. Grade Card

i. The grade card will be issued at the end of the semester to each student by the

University of Calicut based on the recommendation of the Principal.

It will contain the following:

a. The course code, title of the course/project and grade secured by the candidate for

each course registered for that semester.

b. Performance in each course by the letter grade obtained.

c. The total number of credits earned by the student up to the end of that semester.

d. Grade Point Average (GPA) of all the courses taken during a semester if he

successfully completed all the courses in that semester.

e. The Cumulative Grade point Average (CGPA) of all the courses taken from the first

semester onwards.

f. Date of admission, date of completion of the Thesis and date of viva voce.

ii. The Grade Point Average (GPA) will be calculated by the formula

GPA = ∑(C x GP)

∑C

where C = Credit for the course, GP = the grade point obtained for the course and

the sum is over all the courses taken in that semester.

For the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) a similar formula is used except

that the sum is over all the courses taken in all the semesters completed up to the

point in time.

iii. No rank will be awarded to the students at the end of M Arch course.

iv. All candidates who qualify for the degree and secure not less than a CGPA of 6 of

all the semesters shall be declared to have passed the M Arch Degree examination

in First Class

v. All candidates who qualify for the degree and secure not less than a CGPA of 7.5 of

all the semesters shall be declared to have passed the M Arch examination in First

Class with Distinction.
