end semester examinations alone shall be considered, in which case the candidate shall
secure minimum 50 % marks in the end semester examinations to satisfy the passing
requirements, but the grade awarded shall be only the lowest passing grade irrespective
of the marks secured.

13. REVALUATION OF ANSWER SCRIPTS

A candidate shall apply for a photocopy of his / her semester examination answer script within a
reasonable time from the declaration of results, on payment of a prescribed fee by submitting
the proper application to the Controller of Examinations. The answer script shall be pursued and
justified jointly by a faculty member who has handled the course and the course coordinator and
recommended for revaluation. Based on the recommendation, the candidate can register for
revaluation through proper application to the Controller of Examinations. The Controller of
Examinations will arrange for revaluation and the results will be intimated to the candidate
concerned. Revaluation is permitted only for Theory courses and Theory cum Practical courses
where end semester examination is involved.

14. SUPPLEMENTARY EXAMINATION

If a candidate fails to clear all courses in the final semester after the announcement of final end
semester examination results, he/she shall be allowed to take up supplementary examinations to
be conducted within a reasonable time for the courses of final semester alone, so that he/she
gets a chance to complete the programme.

The Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated using the formula:

course credits  grade points for all courses in the specific semester
GPA =
course credits  for all courses in the specific semester
The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is calculated from first semester (third semester
for lateral entry candidates) to final semester using the formula
course credits  grade points for all courses in all the semesters so far
CGPA=
course credits  for all courses in all the semesters so far
The GPA and CGPA are computed only for the candidates with a pass in all the courses.
The GPA and CGPA indicate the academic performance of a candidate at the end of a semester
and at the end of successive semesters respectively.
A grade sheet for each semester shall be issued containing Grade obtained in each course, GPA
and CGPA.
A duplicate copy, if required can be obtained on payment of a prescribed fee and satisfying
other procedure requirements.
Withholding of Grades: The grades of a candidate may be withheld if he/she has not cleared
his/her dues or if there is a disciplinary case pending against him/her or for any other reason.
16. ELIGIBILITY FOR THE AWARD OF DEGREE
A candidate shall be declared to be eligible for the award of the ME / MTech Degree provided
the candidate has
i. Successfully completed all the courses under the different categories, as specified in the
regulations.
ii. Successfully gained the required number of total credits as specified in the curriculum
