Preamble:
General Shivdev Singh Diwan Gurbachan Singh Khalsa College Patiala, accredited 'A' grade
by NAAC (2015), recognized as "College with Potential for Excellence" status by UGC, New Delhi
(2016) and an Autonomous College (2016), is a premier institute of higher education in the state
of Punjab since 1960. Being concordant with the need to the creation of a self-sustaining, global
knowledge society, the college has undertaken several measures initiated by UGC to bring equity,
efficiency and excellence in the Higher Education System of the country.

The important measures taken to enhance academic standards and quality in higher education
include innovation and improvements in curriculum, teaching-learning process, examination and
evaluation system, besides governance and other matters.

The UGC has formulated various regulations and guidelines from time to time to improve the
higher education system and maintain minimum standards and quality across the Higher
Educational Institutions in India. The academic reforms recommended by the UGC in the
recent past have led to overall improvement in the higher education system. However, due to
lot of diversity in the system of higher education, there are multiple approaches followed by
Higher Educational Institutions towards examination, evaluation and grading system. While the
Higher Educational Institutions must have the flexibility and freedom in designing the
examination and evaluation methods that best fits the curriculum, syllabi and teaching–learning
methods, there is a need to devise a sensible system for awarding the grades based on the
performance of students. Presently, the performance of the students is reported using the
conventional system of marks secured in the examinations or grades or both. Then there is
conversion from marks to letter grades as the letter grades are used widely across the Higher
Educational Institutions in the country. This creates difficulty for the academia and the
employers to understand and infer the performance of the students graduating from
different universities and colleges based on grades.

The grading system is considered to be better than the conventional marks system and hence, it
has been followed in the top institutions in India and abroad. So, it is desirable to introduce
uniform grading system. This will facilitate student mobility across institutions within and across
countries and will also enable potential employers to assess the performance of students. To
bring in the desired uniformity in grading system and method for computing the cumulative
grade point average (CGPA) based on the performance of students in the examinations, the UGC
has formulated CBCS guidelines.

Outlines of Choice Based Credit System:

1. Core Course: A course, which should compulsorily be studied by a candidate as a core

requirement is termed as a Core course.

2. Elective Course: Generally, a course which can be chosen from a pool of courses and
which may be very specific or specialized or advanced or supportive to the discipline/ subject

of study or which provides an extended scope or which enables an exposure to some other
discipline/subject/domain or nurtures the candidate’s proficiency/skill is called an Elective
Course.

2.1 Discipline Specific Elective (DSE) Course: Elective courses offered under the main
discipline/subject of study is referred to as Discipline Specific Elective.

2.2 Dissertation/Project: An elective course designed to acquire special/advanced

knowledge, such as supplement study/support study to a project work, and a
candidate studies such a course on his own with an advisory support by a teacher/faculty
member is called dissertation/project.

2.3 Generic Elective (GE) Course: An elective course chosen from an unrelated
discipline/subject, with an intention to seek exposure beyond discipline/s of choice is
called a Generic Elective. The purpose of this category of papers is to offer the students the
option to explore disciplines of interest beyond the choices they make in Core and
Discipline Specific Elective papers.

P.S.: A core course offered in a discipline/subject may be treated as an elective by other

discipline/subject and vice versa and such electives may also be referred to as Generic
Elective.

3. Ability Enhancement Courses (AEC): The Ability Enhancement (AE) Courses may be of two
kinds: Ability Enhancement Compulsory Courses (AECC) and Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC).
“AECC” courses are the courses based upon the content that leads to Knowledge
enhancement; i. Environmental Science and, ii. English/Hindi/Modern Indian Language
(MIL) Communication. These are mandatory for all disciplines. SEC courses are value-base
and/or skill-based and are aimed at providing hands-on-training, competencies, skills, etc.

3.1 Ability E n h an c e m en t Compulsory Courses (AECC): Environmental Science, English

Communication/Hindi Communication/MIL Communication.

3.2 Skill Enhancement Courses (SEC): These courses may be chosen from a pool of courses
designed to provide value-based and/or skill-based knowledge.

4. Practical/tutorials: The practicals/tutorials will be conducted keeping in view the spirit of

UGC guidelines as per the needs and requirements of the concerned subject.

Project work/Dissertation is considered as a special course involving application of

knowledge in solving / analyzing /exploring a real life situation / difficult problem. A
Project/Dissertation work would be of 6 credits. A Project/Dissertation work may be given in
lieu of a discipline specific elective paper.

DEFINITIONS
a. Academic Year: Two consecutive (one odd + one even) semesters constitute one academic year.
b. Course: Usually referred to, as ‘papers’ is a component of a programme. All courses need not
carry the same weight. The courses should define learning objectives and learning outcomes. A
course may be designed to comprise lectures/tutorials/laboratory work/field work/outreach
activities/ project work/vocational training/viva/seminars/term papers /assignments/
presentations/self study etc. or a combination of some of these.
c. Credit Based Semester System (CBSS): Under the CBSS, the requirement for awarding a degree
or diploma or certificate is prescribed in terms of number of credits to be completed by the
students.
d. Credit Point (CP): The numerical value obtained by multiplying the grade point (GP) by
the no. of credit(C) of the respective course i.e. CP= GP X C.
e. Credit(C): A unit by which the course work is measured. It determines the number of hours of
instructions required per week. One credit is equivalent to one hour of teaching (lecture or
tutorial) or two hours of practical work/field work per week, i.e. a course with assigned L-T-P: 3-
0-2 or 3-1-0 will be equivalent to 4 credits weight-age course.
f. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA): It is a measure of overall cumulative performance of
a student over all semesters. The CGPA is the ratio of total credit points secured by a student in
various courses in all semesters and the sum of the total credits of all courses in all the
semesters. It is expressed up to two decimal places.
g. Grade Point (GP): It is a numerical weight allotted to each letter grade on a 10 point scale.
h. Letter Grade: It is an index of the performance of students in a said course. Grades are denoted
by letters O, A+, A, B+, B, C, P and F.
i. Programme: An educational programme leading to award of a degree, diploma or certificate.
j. Semester Grade point Average (SGPA): It is a measure of performance of work done in a
semester. It is ratio of total credit points (CPs) secured by a student in various courses
registered in a semester and the total course credits taken during that semester. It shall be
expressed upto two decimal places.
k. Semester: Each semester will consist of 15-18 weeks of academic work equivalent to 90
actual teaching days. The odd semester may be scheduled from July to December and even
semester from January to June.
l. Transcript or Grade Card (GC) or Certificate: Based on the grades earned, a grade certificate
shall be issued to all the registered students after every semester. The grade certificate will
display the course details (code, title, no. of credits, grades secured) along with SGPA of that
semester and CGPA earned till date semester.
m. Semester Examinations: The comprehensive examinations conducted for summative evaluation
of course. The duration of these examinations shall be 3 and 4 hours for theory and practical
courses respectively; and the weight shall be as per the ordinance of relevant programme.
n. L-T-P: The prescribed hours/week during a semester for Lecture-Tutorial-Practical to a particular
course, in accordance with curriculum prescriptions based on respective nature.

a. A student obtaining Grade F shall be considered failed and will be required to reappear in
the examination.
b. For non credit courses ‘Satisfactory’ or ‘Unsatisfactory’ shall be indicated instead of the
letter grade and this will not be counted for the computation of SGPA/CGPA.
5.11 Computation of SGPA and CGPA
The UGC recommends the following procedure to compute the Semester Grade Point
Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):

a. The SGPA is the ratio of sum of the product of the number of credits with the grade points
scored by a student in all the courses taken by a student and the sum of the number of
credits of all the courses undergone by a student, i.e.

SGPA (Si) = ∑(Earned Credits Ci x Grade Point Gi)/∑Earned Credits Ci;

Where Ci is the number of credits of the ith course and Gi is the Grade Point Scored by
the student in the ith course.
b. The CGPA is also calculated in the same manner taking into account all the courses
undergone by a student over all the semesters of a programme, i.e.
CGPA (Ci) = ∑(Earned Credits Ci x SGPA Si)/∑Ci);

Where Si is the SGPA of the ith semesters and Ci is the total number of credits in that
semester.
c. The SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points and reported in the
transcripts.
