PREAMBLE
Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IITR), being the first technical institution in Asia and one of
the premier technical institutions in India today, has been a front runner in imparting state-of-the-art
technical education to the people of this country, and has produced engineers par excellence. Indian
Institute of Technology Roorkee inherits the legacy of excellence in undergraduate teaching of the
erstwhile University of Roorkee as evident from its illustrious alumni and their engineering feats like
Aswan to Bhakra-Nangal dam across the world, standing as testimonies of their capabilities and
excellence. The aim of the education at the undergraduate level is to build on the knowledge gained by an
undergraduate student through the school curriculum by imparting knowledge with the help of classroom
instructions, training and other modes of teaching. After completing the curriculum, the student will
acquire adequate knowledge base in the desired branch, which could be easily employed for the solution
of real life problems and developed further through higher education, for reaching the frontiers of
knowledge in his/her area of specialisation. The Institute also imparts knowledge to students in the
emerging areas of science and technology and offers several five-year Integrated Dual-Degree
programmes in engineering and five-year Integrated M.Sc. and M.Tech. programmes in sciences. The
aim of these courses is to catalyze and develop the research potential of the students.
The undergraduate and postgraduate programmes have both academic and extracurricular
components designed for the integrated development of professionals possessing individual values of
ethics and morality. Many of the students after completing their programmes start working in different
organizations where teamwork is the predominant mode of functioning. Ethics and discipline are of
paramount importance and without these values teamwork is impossible.
In these days of rapid evolution of knowledge, the academic programmes require provision for
continuous updating of the contents of the syllabi to incorporate new developments in a particular area of
knowledge. The present course structure has been designed to overcome the weaknesses of the
previous structure and to meet the challenges of the society in next decade. The curriculum is, therefore,
broadly defined to make it possible for the teacher to update it continuously by including the latest
developments. Exchange of knowledge and methodology across the disciplines is important in furthering
its frontiers. In keeping with this spirit, the curriculum encourages students to learn across different
branches. In different programmes in engineering and sciences, apart from the inputs of social sciences
and management, biotechnology and environmental sciences have also been introduced since many
novel ideas from these areas are being borrowed in engineering and sciences. The curriculum at the
undergraduate and postgraduate level has been so structured that it offers enough flexibility to the
students to tailor their learning to individual inclinations and the desired career objectives.
The curriculum in a given branch at the undergraduate level and postgraduate level includes
academic programmes involving ingredients of classroom teaching, laboratory practices, training,
seminar and project. These ingredients are specified in terms of courses with a given code specifying the
subject(s) to be taught under them. Every course has credits depending on the workload it involves. A
student is continuously evaluated during the conduct of a course and is awarded a letter grade on the
basis of his/her performance. The academic year is divided into semesters and in each semester the
students have to register in a branch of study for a limited number of courses. When a student earns a
minimum number of credits specified for a given curriculum, he becomes eligible for the award of the
degree.

Explanation :
F Grade
The F grades denote poor performance, i.e. failing a course. F grade is also awarded in case of poor attendance
(see Attendance Rules).
For the other (elective) courses in which F grade has been awarded, the student may take the same course or any
other course from the same category. Further, F grade secured in any course stays permanently on the grade
card. The weight, of F grade is not counted in the calculation of the CGPA, however, it is counted in the calculation
of the SGPA.
In case a student is awarded a failing grade in the major project, he/she shall have to repeat the course in the form of
a new project. Such a student will have to work full time on the project for a minimum period of three months and
maximum B grade can be awarded to the student.
AP/AF Grades
These grades are awarded to an audit course as specified in section 30 above. These grades are not counted in the
computation of SGPA/CGPA.
I Grade
This refers to an 'incomplete' grade, which is required to be converted into a regular letter grade as provided in
section 29(1) of Regulations for the UG, IDD, and IMD programmes. The guidelines for the award of l grade are
given in Appendix-B3.
X Grade
This grade is awarded for incomplete Project/ Dissertation work as per guidelines given in Appendix - B4 and will be
converted to a regular grade on the completion of the Project work and its evaluation.

General Guidelines for the Award of Grades

The following are the general guidelines for the award of grades:
(i)
All evaluations of different components of a course shall be done in marks for each student.
(ii)
The marks of various components shall be reduced to approved weights (as decided by the DFC/CFC) and
or indicated in the scheme of Teaching and Examination and added to get total marks secured on a 100points scale. The rounding off shall be done only once and on the higher side.
(iii)
For less than 30 students in a course, the grades shall be awarded on the basis of natural cut-off in the
absolute marks (Appendix-B1).
(iv)
For 30 or more than 30 students in a course, the statistical method shall be used for the award of grades with
or without marginal adjustment for natural cut-off. The salient features of statistical method are given in
Appendix-B2.
(v)
The overall distribution of different grades shall be as indicated in the statistical distribution to the extent
possible. (Appendix -B2)
(vi)
The overall distribution of different grades shall be as indicated in the statistical distribution to the extent
possible. (Appendix -B1)
(vii)
The provisional grades shall be awarded by the Coordination Committee of the course consisting of all the
teachers involved in that course. The Course Coordinator shall have full responsibility for this purpose.
(viii)
The grades so awarded shall be moderated by a Grade Moderation Committee of a Department/ Academic
Centre. This committee will finalize the grades and display a copy of the grades awarded on the Notice
Board of the Department/ Centre. The grades should be finalized and displayed as per the academic
calendar. All the final grades shall be communicated to the Academic Section within seven days from the last
date of the End Term Examination. The Chairman, Grade Moderation Committee shall retain the records of
all the marks and grades and shall send one copy of all records to the Chairman, DAC.
(ix)
For a student to get passing grade, he/she will have to appear in End Term Examination.
(x)
The procedures for evaluation and award of grades for project, training, seminar, group discussion, and
comprehensive viva-voce shall be as given in the Appendix E1-E5 of Regulations for the UG, IDD, and IMD
programmes.
(xi)
For Dissertation, each student will be evaluated individually and the grades shall be awarded on the basis of
absolute marks (Appendix B-1). The Dissertation shall be presented before an Examination Board for
evaluation, as per procedure given in Appendix -E6.
(xii)
No student having 35% or more marks would be awarded failing grade F.

For the award of grades in a course, all component-wise evaluation shall be done in marks. The marks of different
components viz., Mid Term Examinations (MTE), End Term Examination (ETE), Course Work Sessionals (CWS),
and Practical Sessionals (PRS) would be reduced to relative weights of each component as approved by the
Senate and added. Marks so obtained shall be out of 100 and the same would be converted to grades following the
guidelines given below:
For 30 or more number of students in a course, the statistical method shall invariably be used, with marginal
adjustment for natural cut-off. The mean ( ) and the standard deviation of marks obtained of all the students in a
course shall be calculated and the grades shall be awarded to a student depending upon the marks and the mean
and the standard deviation as per Table given below.
