Concurrent admission in more than one degree program at any institute is not allowed.

16. Maximum Number of Courses Registered in a Semester

1. In a regular semester (spring or fall) students without an academic warning are expected to take course workload prescribed in the prospectus. This is normally 5 courses for an undergraduate and MBA students, and at least 3 for MS students.
   

The University is not bound to offer course(s) in summer semester. However if course(s) is/are offered, preference would be given to final year students and then to the other batches in order of their seniority.

2. Undergraduate students with academic warnings may take fewer courses in a regular semester with the approval of the Head of Department. Approval of HOD is also required for adding, dropping, or withdrawing from a course.
   

17. Adding or Dropping a Course
    

The request should be made within the first two weeks of a semester. Approval of the Head of Department is essential.

Students are not allowed to drop or withdraw from any course in the first two semesters.

18. Withdrawal from a Course
    

A student may request the Head of Department to allow withdrawal from a course. The request to withdraw from a course must be made within two weeks after the conduct of second mid-term examination. Such a request must be countersigned by the parent/guardian of the student. Fee is not refunded for a withdrawn course.

Unless there are exceptional circumstances, students are normally not allowed to withdraw any course in the first THREE semesters.

19. Academic Grading
    

The performance of students is assessed during the semester through midterm tests, assignments, quizzes, case studies or any other method considered appropriate by the course instructor and the University, This shall be communicated to the students at the start of a course. For almost all courses, the semester work will contribute 50% towards the final grade, while the final examination will contribute the remaining 50% of the total marks. A letter grade will be awarded to each student based on his/her overall academic performance in a course.




The Grade Point Average calculation ensures a continuous scale for the respective grades. The grade issued by the University will be final. Two types of averages will be computed for the grades obtained by each student, the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).


SGPA is the weighted average of grade points earned in a semester. The weights are taken as the ratio of course credits to the total credits taken by the student in the semester.


For example, a student who takes four courses in a semester with credit hours of C1, C2, C3 and C4 obtaining grade point of P1, P2, P3 and P4 respectively will score an SGPA of


Note: The minimum passing grade for MS and PhD programs is C.


SGPA = P1 (C1/C) +P2 (C2/C)+P3(C3/C)+P4(C4/C)
Where C = C1+C2+C3+C4

The points for each letter grade are given as follows:

	Grade	Points
	A+	4.00
	A	4.00
	A-	3.67
	B+	3.33
	B	3.00
	B-	2.67
	C+	2.33
	C	2.00
	C-	1.67
	D+	1.33
	D	1.00
	F	0.00

The CGPA is calculated for all semesters cumulatively using grade points of all the courses taken by a student. For such courses that have been repeated, only the most recent grade points are used, even if they are less than the earlier attempts.


The following points need to be noted.

“W” will appear as a grade in the transcript like any other grade.

“I” will appear as a temporary grade in the transcript subject to change to the grade awarded. Grade “I” shall automatically convert to an “F” grade before the end of the next semester.

Repeat courses will be indicated on the transcript together with the repeat count.

“S” or “U” is awarded for Graduate Thesis work only and is not considered towards CGPA calculation.

22. Warning/Probation for Under-graduate Students
    

1. At the end of every semester (including the first semester and summer semesters), warning is issued provided the CGPA of a student is less than the minimum required for the degree program.
   
2. A student with a warning cannot register in a subsequent semester without approval of the relevant Head of Department or any other senior faculty nominated by him.
   
3. After each semester (including the summer or the first semester), if the CGPA of a student is less than the required minimum, the Warning Count increases by one.
   
4. If Warning Count becomes three, the admission of student at the University is closed.
   
5. If the CGPA equals or exceeds the required minimum, the Warning Count becomes zero.
   
6. There is no academic warning in either MS or PhD program.
   

The admission will be cancelled automatically after completion of maximum duration allowed to earn a degree.

2. The ‘I’ grade will be converted to an appropriate grade before the end of next semester.
   

25. Suspension of Admission
    

A student may request for suspension of admission, provided there are reasonable grounds for it. Suspension of admission is not allowed for more than one semester. Such requests can be made only once. All fees except the tuition fee are payable for the semester in which the admission is suspended

A student who misses a quiz or assignment is awarded zero marks in the respective examination. However in case of mid-terms and final examination there is a provision for a retake of test or examination in case of the student's illness or severe accident or death in the immediate family. A Faculty committee shall examine the request of the student for a repeat test.

Retake of the midterm exams, if approved, is either taken or adjusted in proportion to the final exam score without any penalty. A student may claim the above-mentioned credit for ONLY ONE midterm per subject in a semester for valid reasons including medical grounds.
