permitted to appear in the End-Semester University Examination by the Teacher concerned. andhis/her registration in the course(s) will be cancelled. Such students will be awarded grade ‘F’ inthese Course(s) irrespective of their academic performance in Mid-Semester & End-SemesterExaminations. Detailed rules regarding attendance are given in the Regulations to the Ordinances(Academic) in this behalf.

12. Degree Requirements:

(12.1) B.Tech. Degree in an appropriate Branch of Engineering shall be awarded to a student if he/she hasaccumulated a minimum of 220 Earned Credits within a minimum of 8 semesters as specified in theB.Tech. Degree Programme subject to break up in various categories of courses mentioned therein.He/she must also pay all University and Hall dues as per rules. Moreover, there should be no caseof indiscipline pending against him/her.

(12.2) A student can register himself/herself for the courses upto a maximum of 240 credits during his/herentire B.Tech. Degree Programme. If a student earns more than a specified minimum total credits(220 +) for the Degree, the better grades satisfying the Degree requirements will be considered fordetermining the Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) & / or Division.

(12.3) A letter grade (as mentioned in Grade Awarding Procedure) shall be awarded in each course forwhich the student is registered during a semester.

(12.4) The Credits of the Courses in which a student has been awarded regular passing grade (A,B,C or D)only will be counted as Earned Credits (EC) by him/her.

13. Semester and Cumulative Performance Index ( SPI/CPI ):

(13.1) The performance of the student is measured by (i) Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) and(ii) the number of Earned Credits (EC).

(13.2) The Semester Performance Index (SPI) is the weighted average of the grade points of all coursesregistered during the semester and describes the performance of a student in all courses registeredduring a semester. If the grade points corresponding to the letter grades awarded to a student in allcourses registered during a semester are denoted by G1,G2,G3 etc. and their corresponding creditsby C1, C2, C3 etc., The SPI is computed as follows :

SPI = ( C1G1+C2G2 + C3G3+..)/(C1+C2+C3+…) or

SPI = (Grade Points x Course Credits)/ (Credits in all registered courses)

(13.3) The Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) describes the overall performance of a student in allpassed courses up to and including the latest semester since his/her admission to B.Tech. DegreeProgramme.

(13.4) When a student repeats a course, the better of the two grades awarded to the student in the courseshall be counted in computing SPI/CPI.Example: For computing SPI/CPI

Transitory Ordinances to Chapter XXXIV(E) of Ordinances(Academic):

The last examination as per Chapter XXXIV(D) of Ordinances (Academic)(as amended up to 2000-2001 for B.Tech. Programme) will be held as under:

I Year B.Tech. 2001II Year B.Tech. 2002III Year B.Tech. 2003IV Year B.Tech. 2004

Notwithstanding anything contained in these Ordinances, students who fail in the above mentionedexaminations and want to appear at the next corresponding examination shall be governed by thefollowing Ordinances(Academic).

a) The candidates who are admitted to B.Tech. Degree Programme in the session 2000-2001 or earlier and are joining the classes under the Chapter XXXIV(E) of NewOrdinances(Academic) as regular students, shall be governed by the New Ordinances, effectivefrom the session 2001-2002 provided that such students give an undertaking to abide by theNew Ordinances, Regulations & Rules prescribed for the purpose.

The total Earned Credit Requirements during the entire Degree Programme for such students whowere admitted and studied few classes under Annual System, but due to shortage of attendance orotherwise were allowed to continue the remaining classes under Semester System, shall becomputed taking into account the prescribed credits (i.e. 60 of I year or 120 of II year or 180 of IIIyear) under Annual System and remaining prescribed credits of the Degree Programme to becovered under Semester System as regular student.

**The remaining year-wise Earned Credit Requirements for such students shall be same as for thestudents admitted under Semester System. However, there shall be no relaxation in maximumduration for completing the Degree Programme. It shall be the responsibility of the student tocomplete the Degree requirements at such a pace as to complete the programme within themaximum prescribed time limit of 14 semesters/7 years (for B.Tech) or 16 Semesters/8 years (forB.Arch.)

**The table as per anexure shall be used for computing Earned Credit Requirements for the studentswho were admitted and studied few classes under Annual System but due to shortage of attendanceor otherwise they were allowed to complete the remaining classes under the Semester System.

**Explanation:

If a student is admitted to B.Tech. (Mech.) Programme under Annual System and has studied I Yearand II Year as a regular student under Annual System, but fails to clear the requisite number ofcourses for promotion to next higher class and after a lapse of one academic year and after fulfillingthe condition for promotion, the student is allowed to continue his/her studies under SemesterSystem as per Transitory Ordinances.He will complete the remaining prescribed Earned Credit (E.C.) requirements of III Year and FinalYear B.Tech (Mech.) under Semester System (i.e. 28 credits for V Semester, 28 credits for VISemester, 25.5 credits for VII Semester and 23.5 credits for VIII Semester or a total of 105

credits). The minimum E.C. requirements for the award of Degree in this case shall be 120 credits ofAnnual System and 105 credits of Semester System i.e. a total of 225 credits (not 220 credits).

(b) There shall be no Equivalent Courses under Semester System in lieu of the Courses under AnnualSystem.

**A promoted/ex-student who has failed in old courses of Annual System shall be required to clearhis/her uncleared courses under Annual System. For such students, the sessional marks obtainedearlier as regular student shall be taken into account for the award of grades as per the old procedure(refer to Chapter XXXIV(D)/XCII of Academic Ordinances).

**However, if the sessional marks in an old course are not available with the Examiner/Tabulator/Chief Tabulator, the grades may be awarded on the basis of the marks obtained in theUniversity Examination only. In such cases, the marks obtained in University Examination may beenhanced proportionally to the total of maximum marks in the University Examination componentand sessionals together in the concerned course under Annual System. However, such students shallnot be awarded beyond grade ‘B’. In this exercise, a fraction should be rounded off to the nextwhole number.

of whether the course is being offered in the current semester to regular students or not, providedthat the student has fulfilled the attendance requirement earlier and has been awarded E or I grade inthat course. Such a course shall be known as a graduating course. The conditions given in (10.5) forEnd-Semester Examination mode shall apply.

(10.3)Since the need for a graduating course mentioned in (10.2) above can be known only after thedeclaration of result of the previous semester, the registration for a graduating course may be doneafter the declaration of result of the previous semester up to a date notified by the Dean, Faculty ofEngineering & Technology.

(10.4) The End-Semester Examination of all graduating courses shall be conducted simultaneously alongwith the End-Semester Examination of regular courses of the current semester examination.

(10.5)If a student is eligible to appear in the End Semester University Examination after fulfilling theattendance requirement but could not appear due to illness or otherwise or who has failed in EE-/IE-course may appear in the End Semester University Examination of that course in the subsequentsemester alongwith the regular students provided that he/she has been awarded incomplete or failedgrade (I/E) earlier. In such cases, the student shall be awarded a regular grade up to a maximum ofB-grade (i.e. E,D, C or B) on the basis of sessional marks obtained earlier as a regular student andmarks obtained in the subsequent End Semester Examination taken together in the course concerned.The grade ranges for awarding grades shall be same as specified in the Ordinances (Academic). Nofurther improvement of grade will be allowed after accumulating earned credits. However, if thestudent aspires higher grades in EE-/IE-/JE- course after he/she has been awarded incomplete or failgrade (I/E) in the concerned course, he/she must get himself/herself registered for the course andfulfil all the requirements of the attendance and Course Work including Mid Semester Examinationand End Semester University Examination afresh in the subsequent semesters.

Further, a student may improve the grade in EE-/IE- course only once, at the immediatelysubsequent End Semester Examination. In such cases also, he/she may be awarded a regular gradeupto a maximum of ‘B’ grade on the basis of Sessional Marks (i.e. Course Work & Mid SemesterExamination/Test) obtained earlier in the course concerned as a regular student and the marksobtained at the immediately subsequent End Semester Examination taken together in the courseconcerned.

11. Attendance: ( In lieu of Clause (2) of Chapter XVII of the existing Ordinances ):

Attendance in all classes ( Lectures, Tutorials, Practicals, Drawing and /or Design Practice) of eachcourse separately is compulsory. If the attendance of any student at any stage is foundunsatisfactory, he/she may not be permitted to appear in the End-Semester University Examinationby the Teacher concerned and his/her registration in the course(s) will be cancelled. Such studentswill be awarded grade ‘F’ in these course(s) irrespective of their academic performance in Mid-Semester Examination and/or end-semester University Examination of the course(s). Detailed rulesregarding attendance are given in the Regulations to the Ordinances ( Academic) in this behalf.

12. Degree Requirements:

(12.1) B.Arch. Degree shall be awarded to a student if he/she has accumulated a minimum of 300 EarnedCredits within minimum 10 semesters as specified in the B.Arch. Degree Programme subject to

break up in various categories of courses mentioned therein. He/she must also pay all University andHall dues as per rules. Moreover, there should be no case of indiscipline pending against him/her.

(12.2) A student can register himself/herself for the courses upto a maximum of 320 credits during his/herentire B.Arch. Degree Programme. If a student earns more than a specified minimum total credits(300 +) for the Degree, the better grades satisfying the Degree requirements will be considered fordetermining the Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) & / or Division.

(12.3) A letter grade ( as mentioned in Grade Awarding Procedure ) shall be awarded in each course forwhich the student is registered during a semester.

(12.4) The Credits of the Courses in which a student has been awarded regular passing grade as per Clause16.4 of the Ordinances (Academic), will be counted as Earned Credits (EC) by the student.

13. Semester and Cumulative Performance Index ( SPI/CPI ):

(13.1) The performance of the student is measured by (i) Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) and (ii) thenumber of Earned Credits (EC).

(13.2) The Semester Performance Index (SPI) is the weighted average of the grade points of all coursesregistered during the semester and describes the performance of a student in all courses registeredduring a semester. If the grade points corresponding to the letter grades awarded to a student in allcourses registered during a semester are denoted by G1,G2,G3 etc. and their corresponding creditsby C1,C2,C3 etc., The SPI is computed as follows :

SPI = ( C1G1+C2G2 + C3G3+..)/(C1+C2+C3+…) or

SPI = (Grade Points x Course Credits)/ (Credits in all registered courses)

(13.3) The Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) describes the overall performance of a student in allpassed courses up to and including the latest semester since his/her admission to B.Arch. DegreeProgramme.

(13.4) When a student repeats a course, the better of the two grades awarded to the student in the courseshall be counted in computing SPI/CPI.

duration for completing the Degree Programme. It shall be the responsibility of the student tocomplete the Degree requirements at such a pace as to complete the programme within themaximum prescribed time limit of 14 semesters/7 years (for B.Tech) or 16 Semesters/8 years (forB.Arch.)

** The table as per annexure shall be used for computing Earned Credit Requirements for the studentswho were admitted and studied few classes under Annual System but due to shortage of attendanceor otherwise they were allowed to complete the remaining classes under the Semester System.

** Explanation:

If a student is admitted to B.Tech. (Mech.) Programme under Annual System and has studied I Yearand II Year as a regular student under Annual System, but fails to clear the requisite number ofcourses for promotion to next higher class and after a lapse of one academic year and after fulfillingthe condition for promotion, the student is allowed to continue his/her studies under SemesterSystem as per Transitory Ordinances.

** He will complete the remaining prescribed Earned Credit (E.C.) requirements of III Year and FinalYear B.Tech (Mech.) under Semester System (i.e. 28 credits for V Semester, 28 credits for VISemester, 25.5 credits for VII Semester and 23.5 credits for VIII Semester or a total of 105 credits).The minimum E.C. requirements for the award of Degree in this case shall be 120 credits of AnnualSystem and 105 credits of Semester System i.e a total of 225 credits (not 220 credits).

**(b) There shall be no Equivalent Courses under Semester System in lieu of the Courses and underAnnual System.

** A promoted/ex-student who has failed in old courses of Annual System shall be required to clearhis/her uncleared courses under Annual System. For such students, the sessional marks obtainedearlier as regular student shall be taken into account for the award of grades as per the old procedure(refer to Chapter XXXIV(D)/XCII of Academic Ordinances).

However, if the sessional marks in an old course are not available with the Examiner/Tabulator/Chief Tabulator, the grades may be awarded on the basis of the marks obtained in theUniversity Examination only. In such cases, the marks obtained in University Examination may beenhanced proportionally to the total of maximum marks in the University Examination componentand sessionals together in the concerned course under Annual System. However, such students shallnot be awarded beyond grade ‘B’. In this exercise, a fraction should be rounded off to the nextwhole number.
