Grading System
The performance of a student in any course will be evaluated on the basis of class attendance, in course/class test/class assessment, assignments/term papers/case, mid-term and semester final examinations.
For All Programs:
A theory course will be divided into two parts for teaching and the course evaluation as follows:
|
1st Part |
|
2nd Part |
|
| Case/Assignment | 5% | Case/Assignment | 5% |
| Incourse /Class test | 10% | Incourse/Class test | 10% |
| Midterm | 30% | Semester Final | 30% |
|
Attendance 10%

* For a 3 credit hours course minimum four class tests need to be taken and best two of them will be considered for evaluation. For a 2 credit hours course minimum three class tests need to be taken and best two of them will be considered for evaluation.
** After the completion of the midterm examination, the 1st part of the course would be considered completed and would not be carried for semester final examination.
Grading SystemThe performance of a student in a given course is made through continuous evaluation that comprises quizzes/ in-course, class participation, attendance, home work/assignment, case study, mid-term and semester final examinations.
Letter grades and grade points are used to evaluate the performance of a student in a given course. A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C and D are the passing grades while F is the failing grade. Grade ‘I’ is incomplete and grade ‘W’ is for withdraw. The numerical grades used in calculating the GPA/CGPA (Cumulative grade point average) are as follows:
|
Marks Range |
Letter Grade |
Grade Point |
|
| 80% and above | A+ | (A Plus) | 4.0 |
| 75% to less than 80% | A | (A regular) | 3.75 |
| 70% to less than 75% | A- | (A minus) | 3.50 |
| 65% to less than 70% | B+ | (B Plus) | 3.25 |
| 60% to less than 65% | B | (B regular) | 3.0 |
| 55% to less than 60% | B- | (B minus) | 2.75 |
| 50% to less than 55% | C+ | (C Plus) | 2.50 |
| 45% to less than 50% | C | (C regular) | 2.25 |
| 40% to less than 45% | D | 2.0 | |
| Less than 40% | F | 0.0 | |
| I | Incomplet | ||
| W | Withdraw | ||
Grade Point Average (GPA) or Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is the average of the grade points obtained in all the courses passed/completed by a student. For example, if a student passes/completes four courses in a semester having credit hours of C1, C2, C3 & C4 and his/her grade points in these courses are G1, G2, G3 & G4 respectively then Suppose a student got grade point "4.0" in a 3 Credit hours course and 3.0 in 1.5 credit hours course then his/her GPA/CGPA will be as follows
Earned Credit HoursThe course in which a student has obtained "D" or higher grade will be counted as earned credit hours. Any course in which a student has obtained "F" grade will not be counted towards his/her earned credit. In that case he/she will have to repeat the course. "F" grade will not be counted for GPA calculation.
