3.2.1 GPA: Grade Point Average (GPA) is the weighted average of the points obtained in all the courses completed by a student in an academic year.
3.2.2 CGPA: Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) will be calculated by the weighted average of previous CGPA and current GPA.
3.2.3 F Grades: ‘F’ grade will not be counted for GPA and student has to retake the examination of the respective course up to twice with the immediately two following sessions only. Those who are having ‘F’ grade in any course s/he will not be eligible for the degree. However, the grade can be improved to B+ at best in applicable case.
3.2.4 Improvement:
- If a student obtain a grade ‘C+’ or lower in a course in any year, he/she will be allowed to repeat the term final examination only once preferably with the following batch for the purpose of grade improvement but he/she will not be eligible to get a grade better than ‘B+’ in such a course.

- There will be no improvement examination for practical, viva-voice, in-course and field work.
3.2.5 Readmission
- A student can take readmission 2 (two) times throughout the program either in the same class or in different classes. In both cases, he/she must complete the degree by 6 (six) years from the time of original admission.
- A student may seek readmission and continue studies as a regular student provided he/she has at least 30% attendance in the previous year.
- On readmission, grades earned earlier by a student in the case of readmission shall, in general, cease to exist and the student has to retake all courses and examinations, but in case if they do not get the opportunity to repeat the course due to late admission, marks of in-course assessment and laboratory performance/ assessments in the previous year may be retained by the students.
3.2.6. Promotion to next academic year: To get promotion to the next academic year a student should obtain a minimum GPA 2.00 for 1st year to second year, and CGPA 2.25 for 2nd year to 3rd year and 2.50 for 3rd year to 4th year.
