(iii) Continuous Internal Theory Evaluation:
For theory subjects, during a semester, there shall be two mid-term examinations. Each mid-
term examination consists of (i) one online objective examination (ii) one descriptive
examination and (iii) one assignment. The online examination (objective) and descriptive
examination shall be for 10 marks each with a total duration of 1 hour 50 minutes (20
minutes for objective and 90 minutes for descriptive paper). The online examination
(objective) is set with 20 multiple choice questions for 10 marks (20 questions x ? marks)
from first two and half units (50% of the syllabus) and it is conducted by University
Examination Section. The descriptive examination is set with 3 full questions from first
two and half units (50% of the syllabus), the student has to answer all questions. The second
online examination shall be conducted on the rest of the syllabus. The assignment is given
by the concerned class teacher for five marks from first two and half units (50% of the
syllabus). The second assignment shall given from rest of the syllabus. The first assignment
should be submitted before the conduct of the first mid-term examination, and the second
assignment should be submitted before the conduct of the second mid-term examination.
The total marks secured by the student in each mid-term examination are evaluated for 25
marks. The first mid marks (Mid-1) consisting of marks of online objective examination,
descriptive examination and assignment shall be submitted to the University examination
section within one week after completion of first mid examination. The mid marks
submitted to the University examination section shall be displayed in the concerned college
notice boards for the benefit of the students. If any discrepancy found in the submitted mid-1
marks, it shall be brought to the notice of university examination section within one week
from the submission. Second mid marks (Mid-2) consisting of marks of online objective
examination, descriptive examination and assignment shall also be submitted to University
examination section within one week after completion of second mid examination and it
shall be displayed in the notice boards. If any discrepancy found in the submitted mid-2
marks, it shall be brought to the notice of university examination section within one week
from the submission. Internal marks can be calculated with 80% weightage for better of the
two mids and 20% Weightage for other mid exam.
Example:
Mid-1 marks = Marks secured in (online examination-1+descriptive
examination-1+one assignment-1)
Mid-2 marks = Marks secured in (online examination-2+descriptive
examination-2+one assignment-2)
Final internal Marks = (Best of (Mid-1/Mid-2) marks x 0.8 + Least of
(Mid-1/Mid-2) marks x 0.2)
With the above criteria, university examination section will send mid marks of all subjects
in consolidated form to all the concerned colleges and same shall be displayed in the
concerned college notice boards. If any discrepancy found, it shall be brought to the notice
of university examination section through proper channel within one week with all proofs.
Discrepancies brought after the given deadline will not be entertained under any
circumstances.

marks each. Each of these questions is from one unit and may contain sub-questions. For
each question there will be an "either" "or" choice, which means that there will be two
questions from each unit and the student should answer either of the two questions.
(v) For practical subjects there shall be continuous evaluation during the semester for 20
internal marks and 30 end examination marks. The internal 20 marks shall be awarded as

16. 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):
(i) SGPA(Sk) of kth semester (1 to 8) is 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 total number of credits of all the courses undergone/registered by a student, i.e
n
C G
i
i
i1
SGPA(S )
k
nCi
i1
Where Ci is the number of credits of the ith course/subject in a semester and Gi is the
grade point scored by the student in the ith course/subject and n is the number of
courses/subjects registered in that semester.
(ii) CGPA: The CGPA is calculated in the same manner taking into account all the ,,m'
courses/subjects registered by student over all the semesters of a Programme i.e., in
all eight semesters
m
C iSi
i1
CGPA
m
Ci
i1
Where Si is SGPA of the ith semester and Ci is total number of credits in that semester.
(iii) SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points and reported in transcripts.
(iv) As per AICTE regulations, conversion of CGPA into equivalent percentage as follows:
Equivalent Percentage = (CGPA ? 0.75) x 10
(v) Illustration of Computation of SGPA and CGPA
Illustration for SGPA: Let us assume there are 6 subjects in a semester. The grades
obtained as follows:
