The final semester (semester X) is dedicated for Major Project. Major project can be based
on a three to four month Internship/industrial training/laboratory engagements at reputed
institutions or research organisations etc.

Direct Grading System
Direct Grading System based on a 6-point scale is used to evaluate the Internal and External
examinations taken by the students for various courses of study.
Grade Grade Point Range

A+ 5 4.50 to 5.00
A 4 4.00 to 4.49
B 3 3.00 to 3.99
C 2 2.00 to 2.99
D 1 0.01 to 1.99
E 0 0.00
Performance Grading
Students are graded based on their performance (GPA/SGPA/CGPA) at the examination on a
7-point scale as detailed below.
Range Grade Indicator

4.50 to 5.00 A+ Outstanding
4.00 to 4.49 A Excellent
3.50 to 3.99 B+ Very Good
3.00 to 3.49 B Good (Average)
2.50 to 2.99 C+ Fair
2.00 to 2.49 C Marginal (Pass)
Up to 1.99 D Deficient (Fail)
No Separate minimum is required for internal evaluation for a pass, but a minimum C grade
is required for a pass in an external evaluation. However, a minimum C grade is required for
pass in a course.
A Student who fails to secure a minimum grade for a pass in a course will be permitted to
write the examination along with the next batch.
Improvement of Course- The candidates who wish to improve the grade/grade point of the
external examination of course/courses he/she has passed can do the same by appearing in
the external examination of the semester concerned along with the immediate junior batch.

One Time Betterment Programme- A candidate will be permitted to improve the CGPA of
the programme within a continuous period of four semesters immediately following the
completion of the programme allowing only once for a particular semester. The CGPA for
the betterment appearance will be computed based on the SGPA secured in the original or
betterment appearance of each semester whichever is higher. If a candidate opts for the
betterment of CGPA of a programme, he/she has to appear for the external examination of
the entire semester(s) excluding practicals/project/comprehensive viva-voce. One time
betterment programme is restricted to students who have passed in all courses of the
programme at the regular (First) appearance.
Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
Calculations.
The SGPA is the ratio of sum of the credit points of all courses taken by a student in the
semester to the total credit for that semester. After the successful completion of a semester,
Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) of a student in that semester is calculated using the
formula given below.
∑ (Ci x Gi)
Semester Grade Point Average = SGPA (Sj) =
∑ Ci
Total Grade Points awarded in a semester
ie, SGPA =
Total Credits of the semester
where ‘Sj’ is the jth semester, Gi is the grade point scored by the student in the ith course Ci
is the credit of the ith course.
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of a Programme is calculated using the formula:-
∑ (Ci x Si)
Cumulative Grade Point Average = CGPA =
∑ Ci
Total Grade Points awarded in all semesters
ie, CGPA =
Total Credits of the programme
where ‘Ci’ is the credits for the ith semester, Si is the SGPA for the ith semester. The SGPA
and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points.
For the successful completion of a semester, a student shall pass all courses and score a

minimum SGPA of 2.00. However, a student is permitted to move to the next semester
irrespective of her/his SGPA.
13. GRADE CARD
The university under its seal shall issue to the students, a consolidated grade card on
completion of the programme, which shall contain the following information.
a. Name of the University

b. Name of College
c. Title of the Integrated PG Programme
d. Name of the Semesters
e. Name and Register Number of the student
f. Code, Title, Credits and Max GPA (Internal, External & Total) of each course (Theory &
Practical), Projects, viva etc. in each semester.
g. Internal, external and total grade, Grade Point (G), Letter Grade and Credit Point (P) in
each course opted in the semester.
h. The total credits and total credit points in each semester.
i. Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and corresponding Grade in each semester
j. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), Grade for the entire programme.
k. A one line statement as ‘This First Degree Programme is recognised as equivalent to
<name of the conventional degree & Subject> Degree Programme of Mahatma Gandhi
University, Kottayam, Kerala’ (for First degree Grade Card) OR,
A one line statement as ‘This Integrated Degree Programme is separately recognised as
equivalent to the corresponding conventional <name of the conventional degree &
Subject> degree and <name of the conventional PG degree & Subject> Degree
Programme of Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala’ (for Final Degree Grade
Card).
For a student who got lateral entry in the 7th semester and completed the programme
successfully: A one line statement as ‘This Final Degree Programme is recognised as
equivalent to <name of the conventional PG degree & Subject> Degree Programme of
Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala’ (for Final degree Grade Card only).
l. Separate Grade card will be issued at the request of candidates and based on University
Guidelines issued from time to time.
m. Details of description of evaluation process-Grade and Grade Point as well as indicators,
calculation methodology of SGPA and CGPA as well as conversion scale shall be shown
on the reverse side of the grade card.
14. INTERIM EXIT OR LATERAL ENTRY FACILITY
The Integrated Programme consists of an Under Graduate (UG) programme (up to semester

VI) as the first degree and a Post Graduate (PG) programme (from semester VII to semester
X) as the final degree. Thus, all the Programmes would carry the nomenclature of
“Integrated <name of the first degree> - <name of the final degree>”. Therefore, the
Integrated Programme intends to offer two separate degrees with an option for Interim Exit
or Lateral Entry. The student shall avail the interim exit facility only after the completion of
semester VI. If the student completes up to semester VI successfully, he/she shall be
awarded a ‘First Degree Programme in <Subject> (Degree)’ Degree *Ex: First Degree
Programme in Physics (B.Sc)], which is recognized as equivalent to the corresponding
conventional degree (First Degree). The total credits required for such a degree is 120 (see
5.10.1).
On successful completion of the whole Programme, the student shall be awarded an

‘Integrated <name of the first degree> - <name of the final degree> (Specialisation, if

grade awarded in the Program is ‘B+’.
Conversion of CGPA into percentage of marks
Percentage of marks = (CGPA x 20)%
Eg. CGPA of 3.68 = (3.68x20) % = 73.60 %
