7. Curriculum & credit system

The three year curriculum has been divided into six semesters. Each Semester shall
include lectures, tutorials, practical, seminars as defined in the scheme of
 instructions and examination issued by the university. Semester six will, in addition
to theory aid lab subjects, include project work also.

The curriculum will also include other curricular, co curricular and extracurricular
activities as prescribed by the department / university.

Credit System

Each B. B.A program will have a curriculum in which every course will be assigned
certain credits reflecting its weight and contact periods per week, as given below:

1 Lecture period (L) per week = 1 Credit

1 Tutorial period (T) per week = 1 Credit

1 Practical period (P) per week = 0.5 Credit

In addition to theory and laboratory courses there may be other courses such as seminar,
colloquium, project, etc., which will be assigned credits as per their contribution in the
program without regard to contact periods.

Minimum Credit Requirements

The minimum credit required for award of a B.B.A degree is 146. This is normally
divided into Theory courses, tutorials, laboratory courses, seminars and projects in
duration of six semesters. The credits are distributed semester wise as shown in the
structure and syllabus manual of each programme. Courses generally progress in
sequences, building competencies and their positioning indicates certain academic
maturity on the part of the learners. Learners are expected to follow the semester wise
schedule of courses given in the syllabus manual of respective programmes.

7.5. The Curriculum Structure

The curriculum for each branch will contain a listing of all courses, with each course
having a course category, course number, course title, number of contact periods per
week, number of credits assigned, and the marks assigned to various components of
evaluation.

7.6 Approval of the Curriculum

The curriculum for B.B.A , program will be prepared by the department concerned and
will be approved by the Board of Studies of the department. It will then be placed in the
Faculty board for approval. Once approved by the Faculty board, it will be placed in the
Academic Council for final approval and then the Curriculum will be implemented.
Same procedure shall be used for any modification in the Curriculum.

8. EXAMINATION / ASSESSMENT AND GRADING

 Components of Evaluation

Each course will be evaluated out of 100 marks. The courses will normally have the
following components of evaluation:

(a) Theory courses:

Continuous Assessment (CA) 25 marks
End-Semester Examination (ESE) 75 marks
(b) Laboratory courses including Seminar,
tutorial, Project, etc.
Continuous Assessment (CA) 25 marks
End-Semester Examination (ESE) 75 marks

Grading of Performance
Letter Grade and Grade Point Allocation
The Credit and Grading system will be effective from the academic year 2015-2016 for
Faculty of Management & Research. In every course, based on the combined
performance in all assessments in a particular semester as per the curriculum/syllabus, the
student is awarded a Letter Grade. These Letter Grades not only indicate a qualitative
assessment of the learner’s performance but also carry a quantitative (numeric)
equivalent called the Grade Point. The letter grades and their equivalent grade point
applicable for undergraduate programmes are given below:

Percentage of Marks Grade

Letter Performance
Obtained Points
85.00 and above O 10 Outstanding
80.00 – 84.99 A 9 Excellent
75.00-79.99 B 8 Very Good
65.00-74.99 C 7 Good
60-64.99 D 6 Fair
55-59.99 E 5 Average
41.00-54.99 P 4 Pass
Less than 41.00 F 0 Fail
A learner who remains absent in any form of evaluation/examination, letter grade
allocated to him/her should be Ab and corresponding grade point is zero. She/he should
reappear for the said evaluation/examination in due course.

SGPI/ CGPI Calculation

Semester Grade Performance Index (SGPI)
The performance of a learner in a semester is indicated by a number called Semester
Grade Performance Index (SGPI). The SGPI is the weighted average of the grade points
obtained in all the courses by the learner during the semester. For example, if a learner
passes five courses (Theory/labs./Projects/ Seminar etc.) in a semester with credits C1,
C2, C3, C4 and C5 and learners grade points in these courses are G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5
respectively, then learners’ SGPI is equal to:

SGPI = (C1G1+ C2G2 + C3G3+ C4G4 + C5G5)/( C1 + C2 + C3+ C4+C5)

The SGPI is calculated to two decimal places. The SGPI for any semester will take into
consideration the “For Ab” grade awarded in that semester. For example if a learner has
failed in course 4, the SGPI will then be computed as:

SGPI = (C1G1+ C2G2 + C3G3+ C4*Zero + C5G5)/( C1 + C2 + C3+ C4+C5)

Cumulative Grade Performance Index (CGPI)

An up to date assessment of the overall performance of a learner from the time s/he
enrolled the University is obtained by calculating a number called the Cumulative Grade
Performance Index (CGPI), in a manner similar to the calculation of SGPI. The CGPI
therefore considers all the courses mentioned in the curriculum/syllabus manual, towards
the minimum requirement of the degree learner have enrolled for. The CGPI is calculated
at the end of every semester to two decimal places and is indicated in semester grade
report cards.
The CGPI will reflect the failed status in case of F grade(s), till the course(s) is/are
passed. When the course(s) is/are passed by obtaining a pass grade on subsequent
examination(s) the CGPI will only reflect the new grade and not the fail grades earned
earlier. Example: Up to semester r a learner has registered for n courses, among which
s/he has “F” grade in ith course. The semester grade report at the end of semester r
therefore will contain a CGPI calculated as:

CGPI= (C1G1+ C2G2 + C3G3………+ Ci*Zero …….+ CnGn)/( C1 + C2 + C3….+ Ci….+Cn)

Even if a learner has failed in a course more than once, the course will figure only once
in the numerator as well as the denominator. At the end of semester r+1 s/he has
appeared for examination for k number of courses including the ith backlog course and
has cleared all the courses including the backlog course, the CGPI at the end of this
semester is calculated as,

CGPI= (C1G1+ C2G2 + C3G3………+ CiGi …….+ CnGn)/( C1 + C2 + C3….+ Ci….+Cn)

There will also be a final CGPI calculated which considers all the credits earned by the
learner specified for a particular programme.
(Note: r= number of semester, n= course name, F= fail)

Heads of Passing

Continuous Assessment (CA) and End Semester Examination (ESE) should be two
separate heads for passing.
Award of Continuous Assessment (CA)
Award of Continuous Assessment (CA) for theory subject, practical and project
shall be done as per the provisions in the schemes of examinations. The break-up

(a) Tutorial /Assignment /Quizzes - 05 Marks
(b) Attendance - 05 Marks
(B) Practical :
(i) Teacher Assessment - 15 Marks
(a) Lab Record - 10 Marks
(b) Attendance - 5 Marks

(C) Seminar and Industrial Training

The marks of Seminar and Industrial Training etc., shall be awarded on the
following basis: (ESE)

End-Semester Examination (ESE) - 75 Marks

Promotion of Learner and Award of Grades
 A learner will be declared PASS if,
• He/she secures at least 50% & 35% marks in each head of passing mentioned
in clause 8.3.
OR
• If He/she fails in Continuous Assessment but secures 50% or more in the total
(Continuous Assessment + End Semester Examination) in that course he/she will
be declared as PASS.

Carry Forward of Marks

In case of a learner who does not fulfill criteria mentioned in section 8.4 and fails in
the Continuous Assessment and/or End Semester Examination in one or more
courses:
• A learner who PASSES in the Continuous Assessment but FAILS in the End
Semester Examination of the course shall reappear for the End Semester
Examination of that course. However his/her marks of the Internal Assessment shall
be carried over and he/she shall be entitled for grade obtained by him/her on
passing.
• A learner who PASSES in the End Semester Examination but FAILS in the
Continuous Assessment of the course shall reappear for the Continuous Assessment
of that course.
However his/her marks of the End Semester Examination shall be carried over and
he/she shall be entitled for grade obtained by him/her on passing.

Re-examination of Continuous Assessment and End Semester Examination

Re-examination for Continuous Assessment should be completed before the

commencement of next semester theory examination.
Example: A learner who is supposed to reappear for Internal Assessment in semester-I
course will appear for the reexamination before commencement of End Semester
Examination of semester -II. Re-examination of Continuous Assessment will be based
on single examination having same marks as of original assessment. A learner who
supposed to reappear for Continuous Assessment will be given some work by the
concerned teacher. The work assigned can be of the form of a course project/ assignment
problems/ test/ tutorials etc. A learner will do the submission of the assigned work in the
predefined period. Records should be maintained properly for all the re-examinations as
well as Continuous Assessments.

Re-examination of End Semester Examination will be conducted as per the schedule

planned by the University

Allowed to Keep Terms (ATKT):

 i. A learner shall be allowed to keep term for Semester II irrespective of grades
obtained in each course of Semester I.
