On the recommendations of the 47th Board of Academics (BoA), the Senate in its 37th meeting held on 7th October, 2022, vide item No. 37.12 discussed the proposal of minor modification in Grading System.  After detailed deliberation, the Senate resolved to approve the proposal, as given below:

Note:

• Outstanding is rarely given and will be awarded only to students who have performed exceptionally well as compared to other students in the class. It needs to be certified by AD (Courses) or Dean (Academics).
• The grade distribution is only indicative for large classes. Instructor has freedom to deviate from this distribution with proper justification during grade submission.

Audit Courses

Audit courses are different from Pass/Fail in the following aspects -

• Audit courses will not have any credits counted
• Students will have the option to Add/Drop an audit course upto 2 weeks after the normal Add/Drop date for the semester
• For courses with a cap on number of students, instructors can include some supernumerary seats for audit students
• AP will be awarded only if student clears the minimum criteria for a course (i.e at grade point 4)
• AF would be awarded if the student doesn’t clear the minimum criteria for the course

The above mentioned modification will be effective from the 2022 enrolled B.Tech. students.
