S.No.	Relative grading w.r.t. the marks obtained in a paper/course	Letter Grade Value  (Corresponding performance )	Grade  Point
1	75% or more	O (Outstanding)	10
2	70% or more but less than 75%	A+ (Excellent)	9
3	65% or more but less than 70%	A (Very Good)	8
4	60%  or more but less than 65%	B+ (Good)	7
5	55% or more but less than 60%	B (Above Average)	6
6	50% or more but less than 55%	C (Average)	5
7	40% or more but less than 50%	P (Pass)	4
8	Less than  40%	F (Fail)	0
9	Absent / Detained	Ab (Absent) /Detained	0

Grade ‘F’ student may re-appear in that paper in the subsequent examination for that semester

(ii) Calculation of SGPA & CGPA

SGPA is calculated by dividing the sum of ‘Credit Points’ in a Semester divided by the sum of ‘Course Credits’ in that Semester.

CGPA is calculated by dividing the sum of ‘Credit Points’ by the sum of ‘Course Credits’ of the current semester + all pervious semesters.

Hypothetical Example for Computation of SGPA and CGPA:

Let us assume that Mr. X has registered for four courses in the 1^st semester and his performance in these courses in this semester is given in the Table below:

Course/Paper Code	Course Credit	Grade Awarded to the Student	Grade Value	Credit Points
Course/Paper I	4	A+	9	36
Course/Paper II	4	A	8	32
Course/Paper III	4	B	6	24
Course/Paper IV	4	B+	7	28
TOTAL	16		30	120

Calculation of SGPA:

‘Credits’ of the Courses  registered by Mr. X in 1^stSemester             =   16

‘Credit Points’ of Mr. X in 1^stSemester                                           = 120

                                    SGPA of 1^stSemester  (120/16)                 =  7.5

Calculation of CGPA:

‘Credits’ of the courses registered by Mr. X in 2^ndSemester            =  16

‘Credit Points’ of Mr. X in 1^stSemester                                           = 120

                                    CGPA of 1^stSemester  (120/160)               =  7.5

Let us, now, assume that the Mr. X has performed in 2^ndSemester as under :

Course/Paper Code	Course Credit	Grade Awarded to the Student	Grade Value	Credit Points
Course/Paper V	4	C+	5	20
Course/Paper VI	4	C	4	16
Course/Paper VII	4	A+	9	36
Course/Paper VIII	4	B+	7	28
TOTAL	16		25	100

Calculation of SGPA of 2^ndSemester:

‘Credits’ of the courses registered by Mr. X in 2^nd Semester             =  16

‘Credit Points’ of Mr. X in 2^ndSemester                                            = 100

                                    SGPA of 2nd Semester  (100/16)                =  6.25

Calculation of CGPA upto 2^ndSemester:

 ‘Credits’ of the courses registered Mr. X in 1^st& 2nd Semesters (16+16)               =  32

‘Credit Points’ of Mr. X in 1^st& 2^ndSemesters (120+100)                    = 220

                        CGPA upto2^nd Semester  (220/32)                                           =  6.87

19. Pass criteria and grading system:

The minimum percentage of marks to pass the examination in each semester will be 40% in each theory paper, practical /field work/Research Project etc. examination (including internal assessment).

20. Declaration of Results:

(i)  The Controller of Examinations shall declare the results as early as possible after the conclusion of each examination, but before the start of teaching for the next academic session.

(ii)  Each successful student/ the student placed in reappear shall receive a copy of the Detailed Marks Certificate/ Grade Card Sheet of each semester examination.

(iii) The student whose   result   is   declared   late   without   any   fault   on   his/her   part   may attend classes for the next higher semester provisionally at his /her own risk and responsibility, subject to his /her passing the concerned semester examination.  In case, the student fails to pass the concerned semester examination, his/her attendance/internal assessment in the next higher semester in which he / she was allowed to attend classes provisionally will stand cancelled.

21. Classification of Performance:

Performance of the successful students after the 4^th semester examinations on basis of final CGPA obtained by him / her in the 1^st to 4^thsemester examinations shall be classified as under:

CGPA ( with equivalent* % marks)	Classification of Performance
CGPA of 8.25 (equivalent to 75% marks) or more in first attempt	First Division with Distinction
CGPA of 8.25 (equivalent 75%) or more marks in second or subsequent attempt	First Division
CGPA of 6.75 (equivalent to 60% marks) or more but less than 8.25(equivalent to 75% marks)	First Division
CGPA of 5.75(equivalent to 50% marks) or more but less than 6.75(equivalent to 60% marks)	Second Division
CGPA above Pass Grade(equivalent to 40% marks) but  less than 5.75 (equivalent to 50% marks)	Third Division
CGPA less than  Pass Grade (equivalent to 40% marks)	Fail

    *Formula for conversion from CGPA to % marks : (CGPA -0.75)x10 =% of marks

22. Grace Marks:

The student may be awarded Grace Marks upto 1% of total marks excluding Internal Assessment marks subject to a maximum of 5 marks in theory papers only in one academic year.

23. Clinical Training

Each student shall complete the recommended hours of Clinical Training in the parent institute/ hospital as per the Scheme of Examinations.

24. Other Provisions:

(i)  Nothing in the Ordinance shall debar the University from amending the Ordinance and the same shall be applicable to all the students whether old or new.

(ii)  Any other provision not contained in the Ordinance shall be governed by the rules and regulations framed by the University from time to time.
