[sumit]

BTech/BS with Distinction will be awarded to students with a minimum CPI of 8.0 and either an average CPI of 9.0 in department core or an average CPI of 8.0 in all UG project courses.

In the proposed graduation requirements, the graduating CPI has been lowered down to 4.0 from 5.0.

The department does not feel it appropriate because the graduating percentage of 40% is followed in the universities where absolute marks grading scheme is in place.

In such systems, normally the best student gets about 80% marks. In the letter based grading scheme of IIT Kanpur, the highest score of best student is 100%.

A student is awarded a letter grade in each course he/she is registered for, including his/her overall performance in that course.

There are nine letter grades: A, B, C, D, E, F, S, X and I. The correspondence between grades and points (on a 10-point scale) / rating is given below:-

A: 10, B: 8, C: 6, D: 4, E: 2, F: 0, S: Satisfactory, X: Unsatisfactory, I: Incomplete

If a student does not complete all the requirements for a course for a genuine reason, the instructor may award grade I (Incomplete). An I grade must be converted by the instructor to a regular letter grade by the last date for such conversion specified in the Academic Calendar, failing which it is automatically converted to an F grade.

A student getting an E or F grade in a course must either repeat it or substitute it by another course as suggested by DPGC.

A student getting a D grade in a course may be allowed to repeat it or substitute it by another course, provided:

his/her CPI is less than the prescribed minimum and the student is allowed to continue in the programme as per provision in the Academic Performance Requirement, and

Computation of the Semester Performance Index (SPI) and Cumulative Performance Index(CPI):-

The SPI is an indicator of the overall academic performance of a student in all the courses he/she has registered during a given semester.

It is computed as follows: If the grades awarded to student are G1, G2, etc in courses with corresponding units U1, U2, etc, the SPI is given by :-
SPI= ( U1G1 + U2G2 + ) / ( U1 +U2 + )

In the above computation, courses with S and X grades are ignored. Similarly, the CPI indicates the cumulative academic performance in all the courses taken including those taken in the current semester.
