Mapping of Marks to Grades:
Each course is to be assigned 100 marks, irrespective of the number of credits, and the mapping of marks to grades may be done as per Guidelines by DTE.
| Range of Marks | Level | Assigned Grade | Grade Point |
| 91-100 | Outstanding | A+ | 10 |
| 81-90 | Excellent | A | 09 |
| 71-80 | Very Good | B+ | 08 |
| 61-70 | Good | B | 07 |
| 51-60 | Above Average | C+ | 06 |
| 45-50 | Average | C | 05 |
| 40-44 | Satisfactory | D | 04 |
| <40 | Fail | F | 00 |
| Fail in Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) / Semester end Examination (SEE). | |||
| The following grade mapping applies to Audit courses that are assigned a maximum of 50 marks: | |||
| Range of Marks | Level | Assigned Grade | Grade Point |
| 46-50 | Outstanding | A+ | 10 |
| 41-45 | Excellent | A | 09 |
| 36-40 | Very Good | B+ | 08 |
| 31-35 | Good | B | 07 |
| 26-30 | Above Average | C+ | 06 |

| < 20 | Fail | F | 00 |
| Eligibility Requirements for Semester End Examinations (SEE) :
Minimum Pass Marks in Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE): Candidates shall be required to obtain the prescribed minimum pass marks in the Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) to be deemed eligible to appear for the Semester End Examination (SEE) in any given course. Ineligibility for Semester End Examination (SEE): Candidates who fail to secure the prescribed minimum pass marks in the CIE shall be deemed ineligible to appear for the SEE in the respective course (subject) until they attain the requisite CIE marks as per the applicable regulations. |
|||
| SGPA and CGPA Calculations : | |||
| Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) = | Ʃ [(Course Credits earned) X (Grade Points)] for all the courses until that Semester excluding F grades
Ʃ [Total Course Credits earned] for all the courses in until that Semester excluding F grades. |
||
| Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) = | Ʃ [(Course Credits earned) X (Grade Points)] for all the courses until that Semester excluding F grades
_____________________________________________________ Ʃ [Total Course Credits earned] for all the courses in until that Semester excluding F grades. |
||
| Note: The SGPA and CGPA will be rounded to two decimal places and displayed on the semester Diploma grade card. | |||
| Percentage Conversion of Final CGPA |
| The percentage equivalent of the final Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) shall be determined using the following Formula :
Percentage=(CGPA – 0.75) x10 This conversion formula shall be applicable for all purposes, where the percentage equivalent of CGPA is required. |
Class Declaration:
After the conversion of final CGPA into percentage of marks (P), a graduating student is declared to have passed and eligible to award diploma in:
(i) First Class with Distinction (FCD) if P ≥ 70%
(ii) First Class (FC) if P ≥ 60% but <70%
(iii) Second Class (SC) if ≥ 40% but <60%
