BITS follows a continuous system of internal evaluation and letter grades A, B, C, D, E carrying grade points 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 respectively are awarded for all courses other than Dissertation, for which only non-letter grades namely EXCELLENT, GOOD, FAIR, POOR are awarded. The Cummulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) on a 10-point scale will be used to describe the overall performance of a student in all courses for which LETTER GRADES are awarded.
U1. G1 + U2. G2 + U3. G3 …………. CGPA = U1 + U2 + U3 …….
Where U1, U2, U3 …….. denote units of the course and G1, G2, G3…. denote grade points of the LETTER GRADES awarded in that course. Non-Letter grades do not go into computation of CGPA. The academic requirements for the M.S programme stipulate that a student obtains a minimum CGPA of 5.50 and has no E grade in any course. The student will be issued a grade sheet at the end of each semester, and a Transcript and Provisional Certificate followed by the Final Degree Certificate at the end of the programme, subject to fulfilling the academic requirements of the programme.
