Curriculum

The medium of instruction/ examination in the University at all level is English.

Each academic programme is designed to provide enough flexibility in the choice of courses for the students. Besides the compulsory (core) courses for each of the programmes, the students also have the option to choose courses of their own interest from the elective /optional courses.

In framing the courses, care has been taken to avoid over emphasis on formal lectures alone. There is adequate provision for laboratory works, seminars, tutorials, case studies, guided field work, etc., wherever appropriate, to inculcate the spirit of independent thinking and enrich hands-on experience. Group discussion is an integral part of the curriculum in some programme.

Evaluation System

Continuous and internal, relative grading is followed.

Relative grading is awarded on the basis of continuous internal assessment through class tests, assignments, seminars and term tests.

A Letter Grade signifies the level of standard of qualitative/quantitative academic achievement, which a student attains in a particular course/ research work. Each of the letter grades represent a Grade Point as tabulated below. The letter grades A+ to D are considered as Pass grades and F is considered as Fail grade.

Letter Grade	Grade Point	Description
A+	10	Outstanding
A	9	Excellent
B+	8	Very good
B	7	Good
C+	6	Average
C	5	Below Average
D	4	Marginal
F	0	Poor

In addition there are other grades as stated below:

Letter Grade	Status	Remarks/Context
I	Incomplete	Letter grade assigned in case any evaluation component remains to be completed due to an extraordinary situation faced by the student. This grade must be converted to any of the regular grades above within the first month of beginning of the following semester by completing the remaining evaluation component(s).
X	Extended Project	Letter grade assigned in case a project work remains incomplete and the work is extended to the following semester.
S	Satisfactory	Letter grade assigned for successful completion of a Foundation/Audit Course.
U	Unsatisfactory	Letter grade assigned for being unsuccessful in a Foundation/Audit Course.
W	Withdraw	Letter grade assigned if a student withdraws from a course after the last date for withdrawal of course.

Academic Probation

A student is placed on Academic Probation under the following situations:

a) The CGPA of the student fails below the critical limit of 4.5

b) The student secures an F grade in any of the Core Courses.

A student on Academic Probation is not allowed to register for more than 3 (three) courses during the following semester.

A student on Academic Probation is allowed to improve his/her CGPA by appearing in one repeat examination in the course(s) where he/she secured D grade or below within the first month of the following semester. Based on this if he/she is able to raise the CGPA to the critical limit or above and secure pass grade in the Core Course(s) in which he/she secured F grade earlier, he/she will cease to be on Academic Probation.

Forced Exit from an Academic Programme:

A student is asked to leave the programme under the following situations:

a) The student secures F grade in 3 or more courses in a semester.

b) The student continues to be on Academic Probation for 2 consecutive semesters.
