Under CBCS, an academic year consists of two semesters (odd and even) and performance of students are declared in terms of grades and Grade point average. The institution assesses every student’s performance by both Continuous Internal Assessment – CIA and End Semester Examination-ESE.
- The ratio of CIA and ESE is 30:70 for U.G. and P.G.
- A student has to earn the minimum prescribed credits for the award of degree.
- A 10-point absolute grade system is adopted for calculation of Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).
