and project work the continuous assessment shall be awarded as per the procedure given
below:
12.1. Theory Course
Two assessments each carrying 100 marks shall be conducted during the semester
by the Department / College concerned. The total marks obtained in all assessments
put together out of 200, shall be proportionately reduced for 40 marks and rounded
to the nearest integer (This also implies equal weightage to the two assessments).

A minimum of two internal assessments will be conducted as a part of continuous
assessment. Each internal assessment is to be conducted for 100 marks and will have
to be distributed in two parts viz., Individual Assignment/Case study/Seminar/Mini
project and Test with each having a weightage of 40% and 60% respectively. The
tests shall be in written mode. The total internal assessment marks of 200 shall be
converted into a maximum of 40 marks and rounded to the nearest integer.
12.2. Laboratory Courses
The maximum marks for Internal Assessment shall be 60 marks in case of practical

A student who secures not less than 50% of total marks prescribed for the course
[Internal Assessment + End semester University Examinations] with a minimum of 45%
of the marks prescribed for the end-semester University Examination, shall be declared to
have passed the course and acquired the relevant number of credits. This is applicable for
both theory and laboratory courses (including project work).
If a student fails to secure a pass in a theory course / laboratory course, the student
shall register and appear only for the end semester examination in the subsequent
semester. In such case, the internal assessment marks obtained by the student in the first
appearance shall be retained and considered valid for all subsequent attempts till the
student secures a pass.
If a student has submitted the project report but absent in the end semester
examination of project work, the student is deemed to be failed. In this case and also if a
student attends and fails in the End semester examination of Project work of B.E. /
B.Tech, he/she shall attend end semester examination again within 60 days from the date
of declaration of the results. The subsequent viva-voce examination will be considered as
reappearance with payment of exam fee. In case, the student fails in the subsequent viva-
voce examination also, the student shall redo the course again, when offered next.
The passing requirement for the courses which are assessed only through continuous
assessment shall be fixed as minimum 50%.
If a candidate fails in the Creative innovative project (EEC course), he/she has to
resubmit the Project Report within 30 days from the date of declaration of the results. The
resubmission of the project report and subsequent viva-voce examination will be
considered as reappearance with payment of exam fee. In case, if a student fails in the

14. AWARD OF LETTER GRADES


The award of letter grades will be decided based on relative grading principle. The
relative grading is applicable to ONLY those students who have passed the examination
as per the passing requirements enumerated above. For those students who have not
passed the examination, Reappearance (RA) shall be awarded as shown in the below
Table.
For those students who have passed the course, the relative grading shall be done. The
marks of those students who have passed only shall be inputted in the software developed
for relative grading. The evolved relative grading method normalizes the results data
using the BOX-COX transformation method and computes the grade range for each
course separately and awards the grade to each student. For a given course, if the
students’ strength is greater than 30, the relative grading method shall be adopted.
However, if the students’ strength is less than 30 then the fixed grading shall be followed
with the grade range as specified below.
O A+ A B+ B C RA
91-100 81-90 71-80 61-70 56-60 50-55 <50
The performance of a student shall be reported using letter grades, each carrying
certain points as detailed below:
Letter Grade Grade Points
O (Outstanding) 10
A+ (Excellent) 9
A (Very Good) 8
B+ (Good) 7
B (Average) 6
C (Satisfactory) 5
RA (Re-appearance) 0
SA (Shortage of Attendance) 0
W (Withdrawal) 0

A student is deemed to have passed and acquired the corresponding credits in a particular
course if he/she obtains any one of the following grades: “O”, “A+”, “A”, “B+”,“B”, “C”.
‘SA’ denotes shortage of attendance and hence prevented from writing the end semester
examinations. ‘SA’ will appear only in the result sheet.

Applicable for B.E/B.Tech Programmes from the Academic Year 2023 -2024
24
Panimalar Engineering College- Regulation 2023

“RA” denotes that the student has failed to pass in that course. “W” denotes withdrawal
from the exam for the particular course. The grades RA and W will figure both in the
Grade Sheet as well as in the Result Sheet. In both cases, the student has to appear for the
End Semester Examinations.
If the grade RA is given to Theory Courses/ Laboratory Courses it is not required to
satisfy the attendance requirements, but has to appear for the end semester examination
and fulfil the passing requirements to earn a pass in the respective courses.
If the grade RA is given to EEC (Employability Enhancement Course) (except Project
Work), which are evaluated only through internal assessment, the student shall register
for the course again in the subsequent semester, fulfill the passing requirements to earn
pass in the course. However, attendance requirement need not be satisfied.
For the students who complete the Mandatory Course satisfying attendance requirement,
the title of the Mandatory Course will be mentioned in the Grade Sheet as CS (Completed
Successfully). If the attendance requirement is not satisfied, it will not be shown in the
Grade Sheet.
The Completion of the Induction programme shall be printed in the Grade Sheet as CS
(Completed Successfully).
The grades O, A+, A, B+, B, C obtained in value added courses shall figure in the Grade
sheet under the title ‘Value Added Courses’. The other grades U, SA will not figure in the
grade sheet.
The GPA / CGPA is calculated as:
∑𝑛𝑖=1 𝐶𝑖 𝐺𝑃𝑖
𝐺𝑃𝐴 /𝐶𝐺𝑃𝐴 =
∑𝑛𝑖=1 𝐶𝑖

Where, 𝐶𝑖 is the credit assigned to the course


𝐺𝑃𝑖 is the point corresponding to the grade obtained for each course
𝑛 is number of all the courses successfully cleared during the particular
semester in the case of GPA and during all the semesters in the case of
CGPA.
The Grade Point Average (GPA) for the semester is calculated considering only the
courses of curriculum and not the additional courses.
The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of all courses registered from first semester
onwards considering only the courses of curriculum (not the additional courses). However,
for the students who have successfully completed the requirements of B.E. / B. Tech.

Applicable for B.E/B.Tech Programmes from the Academic Year 2023 -2024
25
Panimalar Engineering College- Regulation 2023

(Hons) and B.E. / B.Tech. Minor, grades scored in the six additional courses shall be taken
into account for the computation of CGPA.
Credits earned under value added courses, shall not be considered for calculating the GPA
or CGPA
If a student successfully completes all the requirements of the programme and also meets
the requirements of B.E. / B. Tech. (Hons) or B.E. / B. Tech. Minor but desires not to opt
for the additional qualification, then he/she has to submit a declaration with regard to the
same within 30 days before the completion of semester VIII.
In the consolidated grade sheet the CGPA earned shall be converted into percentage of
marks as follows:
Percentage of Marks = CGPA X 10
