An 'I' grade must, however, be converted by the Instructor-in-charge into an appropriate letter grade within ten days from the completion of end semester examinations and communicated to the Registrar's Office by the last date specified in the academic calendar. Any 'I' grade still outstanding two days after the last scheduled date, shall be automatically converted into 'F' grade.

6.7

An 'I' grade may be given for a major project only on medical grounds. 'I' Grade awarded for incomplete project work will be converted to a regular grade on the completion of the project work and its evaluation. The student concerned shall have to present his/her work to the Evaluation Committee for the project latest within eight weeks of the end of classes or before the beginning of the next semester. In the former case, the deadline to convert an I grade to a regular grade will be by the end of the current semester. In the latter case, the deadline will be three days before the beginning of the next semester. If the department feels that a student has to complete his/her project in another semester, the university shall advise the student to get formally registered in the subsequent semester; the deadline to convert the I grade to a regular grade will then be by the end of that subsequent semester.

6.8

'W' Grade refers to withdrawal from the courses.

6.9

General Guidelines for the Award of Grades

a. All evaluations of different components of a course announced in the course plan shall be done in marks for each student.

b. The marks of various components shall be added to get total marks which will then be converted to a 100 point scale for both theory courses and laboratory courses; this would help in creating a uniform standard.

c. The statistical method shall be used for the award of grades. The overall distribution of different grades must be as indicated in the statistical distribution.

d. The provisional grades shall be awarded by the Coordination Committee of the course headed by the Instructor-in-Charge and consisting of all the Instructors involved in that course. The Instructor-in-Charge shall have full responsibility for this purpose.

e. For courses with zero weightage such as Audit courses no grades are awarded.

f. The Instructor-in-Charge shall submit on-line as well as forward an authenticated copy of the grades of the course to the Controller of Examination for onward transmission to Registrar.

g. The University shall be responsible for adherence to the guidelines for the award of grades and shall be responsible for the display of grades on the School's Notice Board. The Controller of Examination shall also retain the record copies of the marks and the grades along with the statistical parameters for all the courses. All the final grades shall be communicated to the Registrars' Office within seven days from the last date of the End-Term/Semester (Comprehensive) Examination.

h. The awarded grades may be moderated by the Moderation Committee appointed by the Vice-Chancellor.

Students may appeal to the Registrar's office for review of the grade awarded to them. The following process should be followed for a grade review:

i. Student meets with Dean to request a grade review. If this meeting does not resolve the issue then the review moves to the next step.

ii. Failing a resolution in step h(i), the student will appeal to the Registrar's Office. The decision of the Vice Chancellor is final and binding.

6.10

Statistical Method for the Award of Grades

A minimum score of 4.0 on a 10.0 point scale is set as the cut off to pass a course. The mean and the standard deviation (σ) of marks obtained by all the passing students in a course shall be calculated and the grades shall be awarded to a student depending upon the marks, the mean and the standard deviation as per the table given below.

Statistical Method for Grading

If the instructor-in-charge finds a student to have not fulfilled some of the requirements of a course before the final deadline for transmitting the grade, and he/she is satisfied that he/she is able to transmit some grade or a report with or without this particular fulfillment, but at his/her discretion wishes to give the student an opportunity, he/she may, with in the deadline, send a report 'I' (Incomplete) and also inform the student of the same. It shall be the responsibility of the student to contact the instructor-in-charge in time for replacement of the 'I' report within two weeks after the end of the semester, failing which the instructor-in-charge will communicate whatever grade/report is possible for the situation. An Incomplete request may not be used as a shelter from a low grade in the class. To be eligible for an Incomplete all the following conditions must be satisfied:

a. the request for Incomplete must be made duly documented, extenuating circumstances due to which the student is unable to complete the course.

b. at the time of the request, the student should be passing the coursework completed thus far.

There are many situations where operational and practical difficulties may cause a delay in the communication of a grade. Certain situations which are visualized in this connection are:

i. Where a case of unfair means is pending;

ii. Where a case of indiscipline is pending; and,

iii. Where precise coordination between the University and its Internship School and other types of centres may not work in a timely manner.

In these circumstances, the concerned School's Dean may make a specific authorization for the instructor-in-charge to report GA (Grade Awaited). The Dean concerned will also simultaneously advise the Registrar the estimated time by which the grades will be received.

Whenever the report GA appears in the grade sheet, permission for further registration of such a student will be acted upon by the Registrar on the recommendation of the Dean of the School concerned.

Where a student continued to remain registered in a course but gave the instructor inadequate opportunity to evaluate him/her by absenting himself/herself from quizzes/tests/examinations/other components of evaluation, or by appearing in the same for the sake of appearance without applying himself/herself to the task in hand or by submitting a blank script (answer book) the grade for this will be reported as F (Failed). The student so reported would have to clear F Grade in the same course as soon as necessary.

The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) will be used to describe the overall performance of a student in all courses in which he/she is awarded letter grades, starting with his/her entry into the University up to and including thePART I] HARYANA GOVT. GAZ., JAN. 15, 2019 (PAUS. 25, 1940 SAKA) 85 latest semester/term as per the procedure given in this clause. It is also used for the declaration of division when the program is completed. It is the weighted average of the grade points of all the letter grades received by the student from his/her entry into the University and is computed as follows:

gu++gu+gu+gu

.....

332211

nn

=CGPA

u++u+u+u

.....

321

n

Where u, u2, u3 … un denote units associated with the courses taken by the student and g1, g2, g3 … gn denote grade points of the letter grades awarded in the respective courses. If the student repeats a course he/she will obtain a new grade every time a course is repeated. In that case, the new grade obtained through such a process will replace the earlier one in the calculation of CGPA.

A student's grades, reports, CGPA, etc. at the end of every semester/term will be recorded on a grade sheet, a copy of which will be issued to him/her. The grade sheet will be withheld if a student has not paid his/her dues (including tuition Fee, or any other holds such as pending library items, housing Fee and others to be decided from time to time which however need to be communicated to students well in advance) or when there is a pending case of breach of discipline or a case of unfair means against him/her.

The instructor-in-charge is also responsible for maintaining the full records of each student's attendance, performance in different components of evaluation, section/class average, mid-semester grading, copies of question papers and any record of evaluation which were not returned to the students. The instructor-in-charge is also required to submit to the Controller of Examination for permanent record in the University a requisite number of copies of all question papers and all hand-outs given to the students. If a scrutiny or statistical analysis becomes necessary the above records and any other pertinent information should be made available by the instructor-in-charge of the course.
