The order in which SEE is conducted is as follows:
Semester End Examination:
Examination Schedule:
- ODD Semester End Examinations: Generally held between December and January.
- EVEN Semester End Examinations: Generally held between May and June.
Eligibility Criteria:

- Undergraduate (UG): Letter grades O to P. The PP grade indicates a pass in a mandatory course.
- Postgraduate (PG): Letter grades O to C.
- A letter grade of ‘F’ and” NP” indicates failure in the course, and no credits are earned. The NP grade indicates fail in a mandatory course.

- The Makeup Examination will be conducted immediately after every ODD and EVEN Semester End Examination.
- Student who obtains transitional grades such as ‘I’, ‘W’ and ‘X’ in SEE are eligible to appear in Makeup Examination and can secure Letter Grades for that particular course. Student who fails to obtain letter grades in Makeup Examination will automatically obtain F grade for respective course.
Revaluation: It is a grievance redressing mechanism which facilitates the students to get the answer scripts reassessed by a different examiner.
Supplementary Semester Guidelines:
Eligibility for Supplementary Semester:

Eligibility for Passing and Award of Degree
UG: For a pass in a theory and laboratory (practical) course, the student shall secure minimum of 40% of the maximum marks prescribed in the Semester End Examination and 40% of marks in CIE and 40 % in the aggregate of CIE and SEE marks. The Minimum Passing Grade in a course is P.

Grade Points Scale for Absolute Grading for UG:
Level | Outstanding | Excellent | Very Good | Good | Above Average | Average | Pass | Fail |
Letter Grade | O | A+ | A | B+ | B | C | P | F |
Grade Points | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 0 |
Percentage of Marks Scored in a Course | >=90 | <90 >=80 | <80 >=70 | <70 >=60 | <60 >=55 | <55 >=50 | <50 >=40 | <40 |
(90-100) | (80-89) | (70-79) | (60-69) | (55-59) | (50-54) | (40-49) | (0-39) |
Grade Points Scale for Absolute Grading for PG:
Level | Outstanding | Excellent | Very Good | Good | Average | Pass | Fail |
Letter Grade | O | A+ | A | B+ | B | C | F |
Grade Points | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 0 |

(90-100) | (80-89) | (70-79) | (60-69) | (55-59) | (50-54) | (0-49) |
Grade Point Averages:
SGPA and CGPA: The credit index can be used further for calculating the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), both of which being important performance indices of the student. While
- SGPA is equal to the credit index for a semester divided by the total number of credits registered by the student in that semester,
- CGPA gives the sum total of credit indices of all the previous semesters divided by the total number of credits registered in all these semesters
Conversions of Grades into Percentage and Class Equivalence
Conversions of Grades into Percentage: Conversion formula for the conversion of CGPA into percentage is given below: Percentage of marks secured, P=[CGPA Earned]×10 Illustration for a CGPA Of 8.20: P=[CGPA Earned 8.2]×10=82.0 %
Class Equivalence: After the conversion of final CGPA into percentage of marks (P), a graduating student is reckoned to have passed in (i) First Class with Distinction [FCD] if P≥70% (ii) First Class (FC) if P≥60% but <60% (iii) Second Class (SC) if P≥50% but <50%
