prescribed date.

R. PG. PGDCA 7 :

For any semester the maximum marks for the internal and external assessments shall be shown in the teaching and examination scheme. For

the purpose of internal assessment, sessional tests or any other suitable

methods of assessment may be used by a department. When two tests

are conducted, the maximum of the marks obtained in the two tests in

each subject may be considered.

R. PG. PGDCA 8 :

A candidate will be promoted to the subsequent semester according to the following scheme:

A candidate, who has registered for the first semester examination will be permitted to prosecute his study for the second semester.

R. PG. PGDCA 9 :

No candidate will be allowed to reappear in a semester examination in

which he has already passed. However, the candidate having ATKT will have the option to either reappear in all the subjects or to appear in only

the subjects in which he has failed.

If such a candidate exercises the option to appear in all the subjects,

the marks obtained by him in the theory and practical/viva examination at the earlier examinations at the same semester will stand extinguished.

R. PG. PGDCA 10 :

(i) To pass a subject in any semester a candidate must obtain a

minimum of 40% of marks in each head of the subject and 40% of the aggregate of the subject. When a candidate has failed in a subject,

the marks in the sessional and term work head will be carried forward provided the candidate has secured a minimum of 40% marks in the

head.

For a subject having Practical/VV as one of the heads of passing, if a

candidate fails in the subject and if he passes in the Practical/VV head, he will have the option to either reappear in the Practical/VV examination or

to allow the marks obtained in this head to be carried forward. If such a candidate exercises the option to reappear in the Practical/VV

examination, the marks obtained by him in the same head at the earlier

examinations will stand extinguished.

(ii) A candidate will be eligible for award of First Class with Distinction, First Class or Second Class only if he passes in all the subjects of the First

and Second semester examination at one sitting. If a candidate passes either the First or the Second semester examination in parts then also

he/she will be awarded the respective class according to the aggregate

marks.

For award of class the aggregate marks will consist of the sum of the following :

(a) The percentage of marks obtained at the First & Second semester examinations taken ` together.

In summary the aggregate marks will be the sum of the following components:

(A) PGDCA I + II * Full marks (full marks obtained)

Using the aggregate marks calculated as per the above scheme a class

will be awarded as follow: Distinction CPI not less than 7.5

First Class CPI less than 7.5, but not less than 6.5

Second Class CPI less than 6.5, but not less than 5.5

Pass Class CPI less than 5.5

Rules for Grading – PGDCA Programme (KSV)

1. Theory Subjects and Practical Subjects are allotted credits as per the hours allocated

to them per week..(i.e. 1 hr = 1 Credit = 25 Marks).

2. To pass a subject in any Semester a candidate must obtain a minimum of 40% of

marks under each head of the subject and minimum of 40% in the aggregate of that

subject.

3. If a candidate fails in any heads of a subject, he has to appear for that particular head

to pass. (That is, for example if candidate fails in midterm exam of a subject, he has

to reappear for midterm of that subject.)

4. The performance of each candidate in all the subjects will be evaluated on 7-point

scale in term of grades as follow:

Grading Scheme

%age

Meaning of

Grade

1 A + 90-100 10 Outstanding

2 A 80-89 9 Excellent

3 A- 70-79 8 Very Good

4 B + 60 - 69 7 Good

5 B 50-59 6 Average

6 B- 40-49 5 Fair

7 F Less Than

40 0 Fail

8 I Incomplete

Award of class:

The class awarded to a student with his/her BCA course is decided by his/her final CPI as

per the following table:

Distinction CPI not less than 7.5

First Class CPI less than 7.5, but not less than 6.5

Second Class CPI less than 6.5, but not less than 5.5

Pass Class CPI less than 5.5

SEMESTER PERFORMANCE INDEX (SPI)

The performance of a student in a semester is expressed in terms of the

Semester Performance Index (SPI).

The Semester Performance Index (SPI) is the weighted average of course

grade points obtained by the student in the courses taken in the semester. The

weights assigned to course grade points are the credits carried by the

respective courses.

g1 c1 + g2 c2 + ……

SPI =

c1 + c2 + ......

Where g1, g2 …… are the grade points obtained by the student in the

semester, for courses carrying credits c1, c2 …… respectively.

CUMULATIVE PERFORMANCE INDEX (CPI)

The cumulative performance of a student is expressed in terms of the

Cumulative Performance Index (CPI). This index is defined as the weightage

average of course grade points obtained by the students for all courses taken

since his admission to the program, where the weights are defined in the same

way as above.

If a student repeats a course, only the grade points obtained in the latest

attempt are counted towards the Cumulative Performance Index.

5. For any Semester the maximum marks for the internal and external assessments shall

be shown in the teaching and examination scheme. For the purpose of internal

assessment, tests, quizzes, assignments or any other suitable methods of assessment

may be used by a department.

6. Semester Passing Scheme :

a For each semester examination, a candidate will be considered as pass/clear if

he/she has secured “B-” OR above grade in all the subject(s) and overall grade

point greater than 5.00.

b For each semester examination, a candidate will be considered as fail if he/she

has secured “F” grade in any or all of the subject(s).

c If the candidate does not fulfill the subject requirements, he/she will be given

I-grade and the candidate will have to complete the course requirement before

the commencement of the next semester-end examination. If the candidate

does not clear I grade in any subject, he/she will be considered fail – F grade.

d Candidate has to clear his / her „F‟ grade or „I‟ grade, if any, in the next

examination.

7. Following criteria would be followed for awarding the mark statement of any

Semester:

The Grade (Mark) sheet will contain separate grades for each of compulsory papers

(subjects), Practical work, Project Work and overall grade for all the subjects

combined.

It will also contain percentage and the class obtained. The percentage will be

calculated on the basis of cumulative performance index (CPI) obtained by candidate.

CPI will be shown in each semester‟s Grade (mark) sheet for each end-semester

examination.

8. Subject wise Grade and grade points will be calculated based on the Grading Scheme

defined. For example –

Aggregate grade of PGDCA Course will be now – „B+‟ as it falls in that range.

Overall Percentage = (CPI-0.5)*10

= (7.56-0.5)*10

= 7.06*10
