Education Policy
1. Registration and Fee Payment:
Each semester of the Work-Integrated Learning Programmes begins with a mandatory REGISTRATION process, which specifies the prescribed
course package for each student for that semester. The Registration process for each semester is completed when the student sends the duly
signed Registration Card along with the payment for the semester fees. The student has to pay the full semester fees for every semester in which
he / she registers, irrespective of the number of courses in his / her prescribed course package.

2. Continuous Internal Evaluation: 

BITS Pilani follows continuous system of internal evaluation. Concept of Relative Grading procedure is adopted for grading. Letter Grades A, A-, B,
B-, C, C-, D, E carrying grade points 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 2 respectively are awarded for all courses other than Dissertation / Project Work for which
only Non-Letter Grades namely EXCELLENT, GOOD, FAIR, POOR are awarded. If a student does not offer adequate opportunity for evaluation in
a course, reports such as NC (Not cleared) may be awarded.

3. Evaluation Scheme:
For each course in each semester there will be typically 3 Evaluation Components (EC) spread over the semester according to the dates specified
in the Course Handout for each course:

Evaluation Component

Evaluation Component Description Weightage* Given & Evaluated by

EC-1 Assignment / Quiz (Online) 15%* BITS Faculty

EC-2 Mid-Semester Test 35%* BITS Faculty

EC-3 Comprehensive Exam 50%* BITS Faculty

* Indicative weightage distribution for evaluation component. It will vary from course to course.
EC-2 and EC-3 examinations are conducted only at the following Centres: Bangalore, Chennai, Coimbatore, Delhi, Dubai, Goa, Hyderabad,
Kolkata, Mumbai, Pilani and Pune. The details of these exam centers will be shared by BITS Pilani in due course.

4. Relative Grading Procedure:

At the end of each semester, the performance of each student in a course, is specified as a LETTER GRADE (namely A, A-, B, B-, C, C-, D or E)
which is obtained through a Relative Grading procedure, which is described below:
The final grading in each course is done by tabulating in descending order (equivalently a histogram) the total marks obtained by all students in
that particular course. The performance of the course will be analysed in terms of average, highest and lowest marks and the dividing lines
between various clusters. Gaps between clusters and the nature of clusters will guide drawing the dividing lines between various grades. Final
grading will be announced only after approval by Examination Committee at BITS Pilani.

5. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):

The CGPA (calculated on a 10 point scale) will be used to describe the overall performance of a student (from the semester of admission till the
point of reckoning) in all courses for which LETTER GRADES are awarded.

U1*G1 + U2*G2 + U3*G3 ……..

CGPA = ___________________________
U1 + U2 + U3 .....

Where U1, U2, U3 …… denote UNITS of the course, and G1, G2, G3 denote grade points of the LETTER GRADES awarded in that course. Non-
Letter grades do not go into computation of CGPA.

6. Minimum Academic Requirements:

Subject to fulfilling the Academic Regulations of the Institute, the student will be issued a grade sheet at the end of each semester, a Transcript
and a Provisional Certificate followed by the Final Degree Certificate at the end of the programme.

The minimum academic requirements for successful completion of our M.Tech. and MBA programmes require that a student obtains a minimum
CGPA of 5.50 and no E Grade or RRA Report in any course. For B.Tech. programmes, the student should obtain a minimum CGPA of 4.50 and no
E Grade or RRA Report in any course. No student can register in any other course of his/her degree along with Dissertation in M.Tech. or Project
Work in B.Tech.

Failure to meet the minimum academic requirements will bring the student under the purview of Academic Monitoring Board (AMB), which will
prescribe a suitable course package for the student and monitor his / her progress and academic performance closely.

7. Dissertation / Project Work:

The students enrolled in B.Tech. programmes will have to register for a full semester Project Work in their final semester. The students of M.Tech.
programmes will be required to register for a full semester Dissertation in their final semester.

Each student should complete all prescribed coursework of the programme and fulfil the minimum academic requirements before he / she can
register for Project Work or Dissertation in his / her final semester of the programme. If the academic performance of the student falls below the
minimum requirements, he / she will be required to register in some courses again in a subsequent semester to improve his / her CGPA, before he
/ she can register for Project Work / Dissertation.

As admissions to the Work Integrated Learning Programmes are based on various factors like student employment, employer consent, mentor
consent, etc., any student changing his / her employer or mentor should inform the Dean immediately and get such changes approved, failing
which the student would be Discontinued from the Programme (DP), resulting in his / her name getting struck off from the rolls of the Institute.
