The evaluation of each paper shall contain two parts:
The internal to external assessment ratio shall be 1:4.
Both internal and external marks are to be rounded to the next integer.
| Percentage of Marks | Grade | Grade Point |
| 95 and above | S Outstanding | 10 |
| 85 to below 95 | A+ Excellent | 9 |
| 75 to below 85 | A Very Good | 8 |
| 65 to below 75 | B+ Good | 7 |
| 55 to below 65 | B Above Average | 6 |
| 45 to below 55 | C Satisfactory | 5 |
| 35 to below 45 | D Pass | 4 |
| Below 35 | F Failure | 0 |
| Ab Absent | 0 |
All papers (theory & practical), grades are given on a 7-point scale based on the total percentage of marks, (ISA+ESA) as given below: –
Credit Point (CP) of a paper is calculated using the formula:-
CP = C × GP, where C is the Credit and GP is the Grade point
Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) of a Semester is calculated using the formula:- SGPA = TCP/TC, where TCP is the Total Credit Point of that semester.
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is calculated using the formula:- CGPA = TCP/TC, where TCP is the Total Credit Point of that programme.
Grade Point Average (GPA) of different categories of courses viz. Common Course I, Common Course II, Complementary Course I, Complementary Course II, Vocational course, Core Course is calculated using the formula:-
GPA = TCP/TC, where TCP is the Total Credit Point of a category of course. TC is the total credit of that category of course.
Grades for the different courses, semesters and overall programme are given based on the corresponding CPA as shown below:
| CGPA | Grade |
| 9.5 and above | S Outstanding |
| 8.5 to below 9.5 | A+ Excellent |
| 7.5 to below 8.5 | A Very Good |
| 6.5 to below 7.5 | B+ Good |
| 5.5 to below 6.5 | B Above Average |
| 4.5 to below 5.5 | C Satisfactory |
| 3.5 to below 4.5 | D Pass |
| Below 3.5 | F Failure |
The external theory examination of all semesters shall be conducted by the University at the end of each semester. Internal evaluation is to be done by continuous assessment. For all courses without practical, total marks of external examination is 80 and total marks of internal evaluation is 20. Marks distribution for external and internal assessments and the components for internal evaluation with their marks are shown below:
For all courses without practical
| Components Internal evaluation theory | Marks |
| Attendance | 5 |
| Assignment /Seminar/Viva | 5 |
| Test papers (2×5=10) | 10 |
| Total | 15 |
For all courses with practical total marks for external evaluation is 60 and total marks for internal evaluation is 15.
For all courses with practical
| Components Internal evaluation theory | Marks |
| Attendance | 5 |

Assignments are to be done from 1st to 4th Semesters. At least one assignment should be done in each semester for all courses.
A student shall present a seminar in the 5th semester for each paper and appear for Viva- voce in the 6th semester for each course.
Two test papers are to be conducted in each semester for each course in addition to the short tests. The evaluations of all components are to be published and are to be acknowledged by the candidates. All documents of internal assessments are to be kept in the college for one year and shall be made available for verification by the University. The responsibility of evaluating the internal assessment is entrusted on the teacher(s), who teach the course.
Assessment
The weightage for internal & external evaluation of theory/practical/ project/comprehensive viva-voce is 5 & 15 and the maximum Weighted Grade Point (WGP) is 25 & 75 respectively,( ratio 1:3)
Direct Grading System
Direct Grading System based on a 7–point scale is used to evaluate the performance (External and Internal Examination of students)
For all courses (theory & practical)/semester/overall programme Letter grades and GPA/SGPA/CGPA are given on the following scale:
| Range | Grade | Indicator |
| 4.50 to 5.00 | A+ | Outstanding |
| 4.00 to 4.49 | A | Excellent |
| 3.50 to 3.99 | B+ | Very good |
| 3.00 to 3.49 | B | Good(Average) |
| 2.50 to 2.99 | C+ | Fair |
| 2.00 to 2.49 | C | Marginal |
| up to 1.99 | D | Deficient(Fail) |
Minimum C grade is required for pass in a course.
Evaluation first stage – Both internal and external (to be done by the teacher)
| Grade | Grade Points |
