17 Re-Evaluation of Answer Scripts
i. Re-evaluation of answer scripts shall be permissible as per the University Regulations.
ii. However, for the courses where internal awards are to be submitted by the concerned colleges,
the college authorities, before submission of awards of Skill Enhancement Courses and
Practical / Tutorial components of Major and Minor Courses, shall notify these awards and
invite observations of the concerned students within a week for redressal of grievances, if any,
and submit the final awards only to the university, preferably before the commencement of the
theory examination.
For theory courses, where the university directly conducts the examination, immediately after
the Evaluation Status of awards is made available the candidates can apply for photo-copy and
re-evaluation of the Answer Script/s on-line by paying the prescribed fee for each course in
on-line mode.
The candidates shall receive the photo-copies of their respective Answer Script/s as per the
notified dates from the university counter. Simultaneously, the university shall arrange re-
evaluation of the Answer Scripts through subject experts and the result of re-evaluation shall
be notified as early as possible on the university website, which shall ordinarily be an average
of the two evaluations.
However, in the following situations 2nd re-evaluation of answer scripts by a panel of three
subject experts, evaluating such scripts jointly, shall be arranged by the Controller of
Examinations in a prescribed time frame and under following conditions:
i. In case the difference between the original evaluation and re-evaluation is 20% or more
of the maximum marks prescribed for the course.
ii. In case the result status of a candidate changes from fail to pass or vice versa.
iii. In case the grade letter changes in upward or downward direction by two steps.
iv. In case the difference between initial evaluation and the final re-evaluation is 20% of
the maximum marks or more, action against the delinquent examiner may be taken as
decided by the Vice-Chancellor.
18. Statutory Marks
A maximum of two (2) marks shall be awarded as statutory marks to a candidate in a semester
appearing in the examination in full, for qualifying the semester.
19. Declaration of Result
1) The result of a candidate shall be declared in the course applied for as per the grades.
2) The SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points and reported in the transcripts.
3) The conversion of Grade(s) to SGPA and CGPA for all the courses in all disciplines shall be as
per Regulation-III.

Studies concerned. However, Controller of Examinations shall arrange external examiners for
evaluation of Practicals/Tutorials.
3) Caution for Candidates appearing in the Examination: It shall be incumbent upon all the
candidates to cross the blank pages of answer script, if any, before returning it back. If any candidate
leaves any page/s blank between any two written pages in the answer script without putting cross on
it or does not write the correct roll number / subject at the relevant places on the title page or writes
a wrong roll number/subject or commits any other similar mistake which goes against the guidelines
already issued for the purpose, by the University, it shall entail a punishment in terms of the
guidelines including the cancellation of the concerned paper.
 4) Disposal of Answer Scripts: The answer scripts shall be disposed of after the expiry of one year
after the declaration of result of evaluation/re-evaluation.
Provided the answer scripts of L.O./N.A./D.E./Pending Court Cases or Unfair-means Cases &
other such categories shall be preserved up to their final disposal and result declaration and
completion of the evaluation/re-evaluation process as the case may be.
REGULATION – III: GRADING SYSTEM
1) The definitions and description of Grades awarded, conversion of percentage and the marks
converted into Grade points in a particular course/paper can be calculated with the help of Table 1,II
and III below:
i. Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA): SGPA indicates the performance of a candidate in a
given Semester. It is computed only when a candidate passes all the papers and obtains at least
grade “P”. It is calculated by dividing the total credit points earned by a candidate in all the
courses by the total number of credits assigned to the paper/course in a semester.
ii. Letter Grade/Grade Point: It indicates the performance of a student in a paper/course
described as Grade Letter or Grade Point as mentioned above. The candidate shall be declared as
Fail in the paper in which he/she obtains less than 36% marks i.e., Letter Grade “D/Ab” and
Grade Point “0”.
iii. Credit Point (CP): Credit points are obtained by multiplying credits in a course with grade
points:
a. Credit Point = No. of Credits in a Course X Grade Point.
2) Following procedure shall be adopted to compute the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):
i. The Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is the ratio of the sum of the product of the number
of credits with the grade points scored by a student in all the courses taken by a student and the
sum of the number of credits of all the courses undergone by a student, i.e., SGPA (Si) = I (Ci x
Gi) / IC
(Where Ci is the number of credits of the ith course and Gi is the grade point scored by the
student in the ith course).
Table- II: Illustration for Computation of SGPA
Semester Course Credit LetterGrade Grade Point Credit Point
(Gi) (Credit x Grade)
I Course 1 3 A 8 3 x 8 = 24
I Course 2 4 B+ 7 4 x 7 = 28
I Course 3 3 B 6 3 x 6 = 18
I Course 4 3 O 10 3 x 10 = 30
I Course 5 3 C 5 3 x 5 = 15
I Course 6 4 B 6 4 x 6 = 24
20 =139
SGPA 139/20=6.95
ii. The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is also calculated in the same manner taking
into account all the courses undergone by a student over all the semesters of a programme, i.e.
CGPA = I(Ci x Si) / ICi
(Where Si is the SGPA of the Ith Semester and Ci is the total number of credits in that semester).
Table- III: Example for Computation of CGPA
Semester Semester Semester Semester Semester Semester Semester Semester
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Credit: 26 Credit: 26 Credit:22 Credit: 20 Credit: 20 Credit 20 Credit: 20 Credit 20
SGPA:6.9 SGPA:7.8 SGPA:5.6 SGPA:6.0 SGPA: 6.3 SGPA 8.0 SGPA: 8.2 SGPA 8.5
CGPA= 7. 16 = (26 x 6.9 + 26 x 7.8 + 22 x 5.6 + 20 x 6.0 + 20 x 6.3 + 20 x 8.0+ 20 x 8.2 + 20 x
8.5)/174
4) Percentage to Grade/Grade Letter and Grade Point Conversion: Absolute grading would be used
where the marks obtained are converted into grades based on pre-determined class intervals. To
implement the grading system, the University shall use the following UGC recommended 10-point
grading system:
i. A student obtaining Grade (F) shall be considered failed and will be required to reappear in the
examination as per existing rules of the university under semester system for under graduate
courses.
ii. Grade (D) or 36% is the minimum pass percentage of marks in a course, SGPA of 4 to qualify a
semester and a minimum CGPA of 4 to qualify for a UG Degree/Diploma/Certificate Course.
Explanation: Calculation of Semester grade Point Average i.e., SGPA is the grade point received
in a particular semester by a candidate,
iii. Cumulative Grade Point Average i.e., CGPA is the average grade points obtained in all the
semesters.
iv. For calculation of Percentage of Marks, the following formulas are used:
a. SGPA = Credit Points earned in a Semester/Total Credits in a Semester.
b. CGPA = Total Credit Points Earned in all Semesters/Total Credits of the Programme
c. Percentage of Marks = CGPA x 10
Percentage to Grade/Grade Letter and Grade Point Conversion
Marks Percentage Range Grade Grade Letter Grade Point
90 to 100 Outstanding A+ 10
80 to <90 Excellent A 9
70 to <80 Very Good B+ 8
60 to <70 Good B 7
50 to <60 Above Average C+ 6
40 to <50 Average C 5
36 to <40 Pass D 4
<36 Fail F 0
0 Absent Ab 0
(Note: 0.5 mark shall be treated as 1 mark and less than 0.5 mark omitted).
