Credit = Theory hours + Tutorial hours + 0.5 (Laboratory hours)

A student can earn credits for a particular course by fulfilling the minimum academic
requirements of attendance and evaluation. No credits shall be awarded if a student
satisfies the minimum attendance requirements but fails to meet minimum evaluation
requirements.

7.14 The total number of credits required for completing a programme typically is in the
range of 175-180 for regular entry and 148-155 for lateral entry. The exact number of
credits required is mentioned in the curriculum structure for the respective
programme. The total number of credits in a semester in which a student shall register
is generally 23-25. Normally, the maximum number of credits per semester shall not
exceed 30.

committee.

10. THE GRADING SYSTEM

10.1 Students shall be assigned a grade based on performance in all components of

evaluation/examination scheme of a course as per the structure. The grade indicates an
assessment of the student’s performance and shall be associated with equivalent number
called a ‘grade point’. The performance of the student as per the grade point on a 0-10
scale shall further fall into a letter grading system as shown in Table 10.1.

Academic Documents for Information Technology

98
 Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli

Table 10.1: Grade points

Letter Grade Grade point Description
AA 10 Outstanding
AB 9 Excellent
BB 8 Very good
BC 7 Good
CC 6 Average
CD 5 Below average
DD 4 Marginal
FF 0 Fail due to poor performance
XX1 0 Fail due to attendance shortage
XX2 0 Fail due to disciplinary action
PP (only for 0 Passed
non-credit
audit courses)
NP (only for 0 Not passed
non-credit
courses)

An ‘AA’ grade stands for outstanding achievement relative to the class. The ‘CC’
grade stands for average performance and it refers to ‘average’ as per course teacher’s
expectations in a holistic sense and is not based on the class average. The ‘DD’ grade
stands for marginal performance and is the minimum passing grade. The ‘FF’ grade
denotes poor performance. A student who obtains FF grade in any course shall either
appear for make-up examination or re-register for the course/s, till a passing grade is
obtained.

The ‘XX1’grade denotes failure of student due to shortage of minimum attendance

(less than 50% of the total hours engaged for that course) and not satisfactory
performance in laboratory course.

The ‘XX2’grade denotes failure of student due to disciplinary action.

A student who obtains ‘XX1/XX2’ grade in any course has to necessarily re-register
for the course in the subsequent semesters until a passing grade is obtained. Such
students shall not be allowed to appear for makeup examination.

Academic Documents for Information Technology

99
 Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli

10.2 Relative grading shall be applicable to courses where the number of students registered
is greater than or equal to 15.

10.3 The concerned faculty shall use ISE 1, ISE 2, MSE and ESE marks to decide the total
marks. The marks of each mode of evaluation shall be up-to one decimal place and
shall not be rounded. The total of ISE 1, ISE 2, MSE and ESE will be computed and
rounded to the nearest higher integer.

10.4 A student will be given maximum of two grace marks per course to obtain passing
grade in maximum of two courses provided he/she has passed in all other courses for
that semester. If a student has failed in more than two courses, no grace marks will be
applicable in any course.

10.5 The grace marks shall be applicable only to regular students and shall not be applicable
to any re-registered student in a course.

10.6 FF grade shall be assigned to a student in a theory course in the following cases;

i. Sum of marks obtained by the student in ISE 1, ISE 2, MSE, ESE, and
grace (if any) is less than 40.

ii. Marks obtained in ESE are less than 20.

10.7 FF grade shall be assigned in a laboratory course to a student who shall get less than
40% marks in ESE. XX1 grade shall be assigned in a laboratory course to a student
obtaining less than 40% marks in ISE.

10.8 In the further grading process, the failed students shall be excluded.

10.9 Then, the mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ) of total marks of passed students shall be
computed. From these, the relative grading thresholds shall be decided with the use of
Tables 10.2 and 10.3 for theory and lab./ proj./ mini-proj /seminar respectively.

Table 10.2: Relative grading thresholds for theory credit courses

10.10 After the relative grade thresholds are calculated, the faculty shall check the histogram
of the grades and adjust the thresholds to get nearly bell shaped histogram.

10.11 After this the faculty shall get the grade thresholds, approved from GMC. After
approval, the faculty shall lock the grade thresholds.

10.12 The faculty then shall review the boundary cases for each grade and may assign max
+1 grace (ISE) mark to those boundary cases. This shall not change the grade
boundaries.

10.13 The grades shall be calculated as per the Tables 10.2 and 10.3 and assigned to each
student.

10.14 The faculty shall prepare the grade sheet, verify it, sign on it, get the signature of the
GMC and handover the grade sheet to the HoD.

10.15 HoD shall receive grade sheets of all courses of the department from respective
faculty, verify them, and approve it and display the class wise provisional result on
the departmental notice board.

10.16 Absolute grading is applicable to courses where the number of students registered for
a course is less than 15. Allocation of grace marks shall be same as mentioned in 10.4.

The thresholds for absolute grading are given in Tables 10.4 and 10.5.

Table 10.4: Absolute grading thresholds for credit course

Grade Min Threshold Max Threshold

FF ≥0 < 40
DD ≥ 40 < 45
CD ≥ 45 < 50
CC ≥ 50 < 60

CPI shall be calculated as per absolute grading system for the students switched over
from university pattern to autonomous pattern.

10.17 Makeup Examination

i. There shall be a makeup examination for all courses (theory and laboratory)
once in a year. The makeup examination for an academic year shall be
conducted before the commencement of an odd semester of the next academic
year.

ii. The students failed in an odd semester and/or even semester in

theory/laboratory credit course in an academic year shall be allowed to appear
for a makeup examination for the same academic year. A student failed in an
audit course shall have to re-register for the course/equivalent course,
whenever it is offered in subsequent semester/s.

iii. Also the students, who have secured DD or CD grade in a course in an odd
semester or even semester in an academic year and applied for CPI
improvement, can appear for such makeup examination for the same academic
year. Students with XX1/XX2 grade in a course shall not be allowed to appear
for makeup examination of that course in that year.

iv. If a student applies for appearing for such makeup examination for a theory
course, the MSE, ISE 1 and ISE 2 marks of the course shall be null and void.
Also grade obtained in the course during regular odd or even semester
examination shall be null and void.

v. The makeup examination for a theory course shall be of 100 marks and shall
be based on all modules in the syllabus with equal weightage to each module.
The question paper shall not have any options (no internal options also).

so ever reason.

10.18 Revaluation

A provision of addressing grievance by a student in evaluation of his/her answer

book for a course/s in ESE and makeup examination is made in terms of
revaluation. If student is not satisfied with the evaluation of his/her answer books in
ESE and makeup examination, he/she may apply for revaluation by paying
prescribed fee after the declaration of result. If the marks awarded in the paper
before and after revaluation vary by 10% or more of the maximum marks assigned
to that paper, then marks after revaluation shall be accepted for the revision of
result. However, irrespective of what is stated above, the marks obtained after
revaluation shall be accepted if the candidate gets the benefit of passing the
examination. In any case revaluation fee shall not be refunded.

10.19 The grade “PP” (Passed)/ “NP” (Not Passed) shall be awarded for audit courses
depending upon the performance of a student evaluated by the faculty in-charge.
No grade points shall be associated with these grades and performance in these
courses shall be not taken into account in the calculation of the performance indices
(SPI, CPI). However, the award of the degree shall be subject to obtaining a “PP”
grade in all such courses.

10.20 Transfer of credits

In order to provide opportunity to students for studying in different learning

environment, normally third year students can be sent to other reputed autonomous
institutes for one semester under credit transfer. Students can avail credit transfer
from other autonomous colleges for one semester provided the curriculum of both
the colleges have same minimum three core courses in that semester. The
remaining courses in that semester of that institute can be taken as professional
electives. Grades obtained by such credit students from that institute will be
suitably transferred to the grade card of WCE after approval from CoE, Dean
Academics and Director. Such credit transfer is mutually possible from both
institutes.

10.21 CPI improvement

i. A student in third and final year, and student who has passed final year B.

less than 6.50 (for students admitted before 2014-15)/6.75 (for students
admitted after 2014-15) by the end of second/third/final year. Such students
may apply for CPI improvement by registering for the course/s, of current
academic year or immediately preceding academic year, in which the student
has obtained DD/CD grade.
[e.g. 1. A student in final year may apply for the course/s of final and third
year. The student shall be permitted to appear for makeup examination in final
year /re-register for the course/s of third year for CPI improvement.
2. A student in third year may apply for the course/s of third and second year.
The student shall be permitted to appear for makeup examination in third year
/re-register for the course/s of second year for CPI improvement.]
