Grading System
The grading system will be followed for UG, PG and M.Phil Courses.
Marks and Grades for UG Programmes
The grade point for each UG course is computed by dividing the Total Marks by 10.
The following table gives the grade points and the letter grades for the total marks obtained by the candidate in each course.

- In second class if he/she secures 50% or more but less than 60%
- In the third class if he/she secures 40% or more but less than 50%.
- These classes will be awarded on the basis of marks in the aggregate for all courses in a part as prescribed by the respective board of studies.
- Repeat attempts will not block the award of these classes.
Extra Credit Course or Self Study Course
Along with the Mark statement in the CBCS system credits are awarded to the student for the extra credit course or self study course also.
A student can earn extra credits by registering for a specially designed self learning course in any department. He/she is expected to study on her own and fulfill all the evaluation requirements. This option is available from the II semester onwards. All the final year UG students will join the ECC course Employability Enhancement Programme I & II.
