• Credit HourMeans 1 hour of theory lecture or 3 hours of practical work per week for the semester.
• Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)Means the credit-hour weighted average of the Grade Points earned for all the courses in all the semesters attended. The cumulative GPA (CGPA) shall be calculated similarly (as that for SGPA) for all the courses taken in all the semesters of the degree program.
• GradeMeans the letter grade earned by a student in a course depending on his performance in that course.
• Grade PointsMeans the points (numerical value) associated with each letter grade.
• Semestermeans a declared duration covering 18-20 weeks of teaching in case of regular semester and 9-10 weeks of teaching in case of optional semester including examinations.
• Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA)Means the credit-hour weighted average of the Grade Points earned for all the courses in a semester. The semester grade point average (SGPA) shall be calculated by multiplying the grade points earned in a course with the number of credit hours of that course, taking the sum of such products for each course taken in that semester and finally dividing the result by the total number of credit hours registered in that semester.

2. Semester Registration

• The registration of the students for each semester other than the first semester shall be made by the concerned Academic Department of the College. The registration for the first semester shall be made by the Registrar of the College.
• If a student fails to get himself registered for a regular semester within the prescribed time, his name shall be deemed to have been struck off the College Rolls and he shall not be allowed to appear in any examination.

• While the academically deficient casual student shall be allowed to repeat/ improve the courses either during summer semester or whenever the teaching and examination schedule makes it possible for him.
• As soon as a student repeats a course, his previous grade for that course whether low or high shall be cancelled, and only the latest grade earned by the student shall be considered for the computation of CGPA. It shall be noted that a student can only improve a grade lower than “C”.
• In case a student repeats the course which has already been taken, the old grade will be substituted with the new grade, (for CGPA calculation) but in case a student takes a new course in lieu of the course in which he failed, both the grades will reflect on his transcript, i.e. old course grade and new course grade.
