The B. Sc. (Honours) programme in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) is of 4 academic years, and the Degree must be completed within 6 academic years. The Courses for this programme consist of Theoretical, Practical, Viva-Voce, Tutorial/Terminal/Class test and Attendance, and courses are of total 4000 Marks, 40 units and 160 credits. The 1 unit, 0.75 unit, 0.5 unit and 0.25 carries 100, 75, 50 and 25 marks as well as 4, 3, 2 and 1 credit respectively The duration of examination of theoretical course carrying 1 and 0.75 unit is of four hours and 0,5 unit is of three hours. The duration for Practical examination is of 6 hours and 3 hours for the practical course carrying 0.5 and 0.25 units respectively. The total 50 marks of Tutorial/Terminal/Class test and attendance are distributed as: 80% for Tutorial/Terminal/Class test and 20% for class attendance. The Practical examination marks will be distributed as follows: continuous assessment is of 30% and practical is of 70%. English (CSE 105) is a compulsory and non-credit course. The candidate must obtain letter grade “S” in the English course in 4 academic years from the date of admission. “S” corresponds to at least 30% marks.
The Grading System:
(a) Credit Point (CP): The credit points achieved by an examinee for 0.50 and 1.00 unit courses shall be 2 and 4 respectively. For other fractions of a unit, proportionality should be applied.
(b) Letter Grade (LG) and Grade Point (GP): Letter Grades, corresponding Grade Points and Credit Points shall be awarded in accordance with provisions shown below:
(i) Table of LG, GP and CP for credit courses
Numerical grade / LG / GP/unit / CP/unit80% or its above / A+ (A plus) / 4.00 / 4
75% to less than 80% / A (A regular) / 3.75 / 4
70% to less than 75% / A- (A minus) / 3.50 / 4
65% to less than 70% / B+ (B plus) / 3.25 / 4
60% to less than 65% / B (B regular) / 3.00 / 4
55% to less than 60% / B- (B minus) / 2.75 / 4
50% to less than 55% / C+ (C plus) / 2.50 / 4
45% to less than 50% / C (C regular) / 2.25 / 4
40% to less than 45% / D / 2.00 / 4
Less than 40% / F / 0.00 / 0
Incomplete / I / - / 0
Absence from the final examination shall be considered incomplete with the letter grade “I”.
(ii) Table of LG, GP and CP for non-credit courses
Numerical grade / LG / GP/unit / CP/unit30% and above / S / 0.0 / 0.0
Less than 30% / U / 0.0 / 0.0
Here “S” and “U” refer to “satisfactory” and “unsatisfactory” respectively.
(c) Grade Point Average (GPA) and Total Credit Point (TCP): The weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the courses by a student and Total Credit Point shall be calculated from the following equations:
GPA = Sum of [(CP)i ´ (GP)i] / sum of (CP)I and TCP = Sum of (CP)i
(d) Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA): The weighted average of the GPAs of a student in all four years shall be calculated from the following equation:
CGPA = Sum of [(TCP)j ´ (GPA)j] / sum of (TCP)j
Where (GP)i = grade point obtained in individual courses, (CP)i = credit point for respective course, (GPA)j = grade point average obtained in a year and (TCP)j = total point for that year. GPA and CGPA shall be rounded off up to 2 (two) places after decimal to the advantage of the examinee. For instance, GPA = 2.112 shall be rounded off as GPA = 2.12.
(e) An illustration of calculating GPA and CGPA: Suppose a student has completed five courses in each of first and second years and four courses in each of third and fourth year examinations and obtained the following grades:
1st year course / Credits / Grade / GPCSE-101 / 2 / A / 3.75
CSE-111 / 4 / A+ / 4.00
CSE-112 / 4 / B+ / 3.25

LG corresponding to CGPA = 3.10 is “B”.
(f) Promotions criteria: In order to be eligible for promotion from one class to the next higher Honours class, a candidate must secure (i) at least 2.00 GPA in his/her Part-I, 2.25 GPA in Part-2 and 2.50 GPA in Part-3 Examinations, (ii) at least 2.00 GPA in each of his/her Part-1, Part-2 and Part-3 practical and class assessment/tutorial/terminal/home assignment course examinations, and (iii) 30 credits for each of Part-1 and Part-2 and 34 credits in Part-3 Examination.
(g) Course Improvement: A promoted student earning a grade less than 2.75 in individual courses shall be allowed to improve the grades on courses, not more than two full unit courses including those of “F” grades, if any, of Part-1, Part-2 and Part-3 examinations or their equivalent courses (in case of changes in the syllabus), defined by the departmental academic committee, through the regular examination of the immediate following batch. However, if the candidate fails to clear his/her “F” grades in the first attempt, he/she shall get a second (last) chance in the immediate next year to clear the “F” grades. No improvement shall be allowed in practical course examinations/ viva-voce/ class assessment/ tutorial/ terminal/ home assignment and thesis/ dissertation/ project/ in-plant training courses. If a candidate fails to improve his/ her course grade, the previous grade shall remain valid. If a re-admitted candidate fails to appear at the regular class assessment/tutorial/terminal/home assignment and thesis/dissertation/project/in-plant training courses, his/her previous grades shall remain valid.
