A committee will be constituted by the concerned Head of the Department
comprising of the Chairperson of the concerned Class Committee
(Convener), the teacher concerned and a teacher of the department who is
knowledgeable in the concerned course. If the Committee finds that the case
is genuine, it may jointly revalue the answer script and forward the revised
marks to the Controller of Examinations with full justification for the revision,
if any.
18.3 The “U” and “AB” grade once awarded stays in the grade sheet of the students
and is not deleted when he/she completes the course successfully later.
The grade acquired by the student later will be indicated in the grade sheet of
the appropriate semester.
19.0 COURSE REPETITION AND ARREARS EXAMINATION
19.1 A student should register to re-do a core course wherein "I" or "W" grade is

semester-end examination as arrear examination, at the end of the next
semester, along with the regular examinations of next semester courses.
19.3 A student who is awarded “U” or “AB” grade in a course will have the option of
either to write semester end arrear examination at the end of the subsequent
semesters, or to redo the course whenever the course is offered. Marks
earned during the redo period in the continuous assessment for the course,
will be used for grading along with the marks earned in the end-semester
(re-do) examination.
19.4 If any student obtained “U” or “AB” grade, the marks earned during the redo
period for the continuous assessment for that course will be considered for
further appearance as arrears.
19.5 If a student with “U” or “AB” grade prefers to redo any particular course fails
to earn the minimum 75% attendance while doing that course, then he/she
will not be permitted to write the semester end examination and his / her
earlier ‘U’ grade and continuous assessment marks shall continue.
20.0 GRADE SHEET
20.1 The grade sheet issued at the end of the semester to each student will contain
the following:
(i) the credits for each course registered for that semester.
(ii) the performance in each course by the letter grade obtained.
(iii) the total credits earned in that semester.
(iv) the Grade Point Average (GPA) of all the courses registered for that
semester and the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of all the
courses taken up to that semester.
20.2 The GPA will be calculated according to the formula
∑ in=1 (C i )(GPi )
GPA = Where n = number of courses
∑ in=1 C i
24
M.Sc.Physics
For the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) a similar formula is used
except that the sum is over all the courses taken in all the semesters
completed up to the point of time.
‘I’ and ‘W’ grades will be excluded for GPA calculations.
‘U’, ‘AB’ ‘I’ and ‘W’ grades will be excluded for CGPA calculations.
20.3 Classification of the award of degree will be as follows:
CGPA Classification
8.50 and above, having completed all
courses in first appearance First class with Distinction
6.50 and above, having completed within
a period of 2 semesters beyond the
programme period First Class
All others Second Class
However, to be eligible for First Class with Distinction, a student should not
have obtained U or I grade in any course during his/her study and should
have completed the PG Programme within a minimum period covered by
the minimum duration (clause 3.1) plus authorized break of study, if any (clause
8). To be eligible for First Class, a student should have passed the examination
in all courses within the specified minimum number of semesters reckoned
from his/her commencement of study plus two semesters. For this purpose,
the authorized break of study will not be counted. The students who do not
satisfy the above two conditions will be classified as second class. For the
purpose of classification, the CGPA will be rounded to two decimal places.
For the purpose of comparison of performance of students and ranking, CGPA
will be considered up to three decimal places.
21.1 A student shall be declared to be eligible for the award of the Masters Degree,
if he/she has:
i) successfully acquired the required credits as specified in the Curriculum
corresponding to his/her programme within the stipulated time,
ii) no disciplinary action is pending against him/her.
