16. Declaration of Result:
(i) The result of all the examinations shall be completed by the teacher(s) and delivered within 15 days of the date of examination to the Controller of Examinations at the end of each semester. Thereafter, result shall be displayed on VU website.
(ii) Grade Point Average (GPA)/Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA):
(a) At the end of first semester, a student securing GPA less than 0.50 shall cease to be on rolls of the University. He/she may, however, again seek admission in any degree course, for which he/she is otherwise eligible at the next following admission time, on merit; provided that this concession will be admissible to him/her only once.
(b) At the end of the second semester, a student must obtain a minimum CGPA of 1.00. In case a student is able to obtain CGPA of 0.75 or more but less than 1.00, he/she will be promoted to the third semester on probation.
(c) At the end of the third semester, a student must obtain a minimum CGPA of 1.25. In case a student is able to obtain CGPA of 1.00 or more but less than 1.25, he/she will be promoted to the fourth semester on probation.
(d) For all subsequent semesters, a student must attain a minimum CGPA of 1.25 so that the student feels impelled to get the minimum CGPA required for qualifying for the award of the degree, failing which, he/she would cease to be on the rolls of the University and shall not be re-admitted in the same field of specialization.
(e) A student, who obtains CGPA of 1.75 but less than 2.25, upon the completion of entire approved course work, may be allowed to repeat once the courses of the previous semesters in which he/she had obtained the lowest grades, in order to improve the CGPA so as to obtain the minimum of 2.25, failing which he/she shall cease to be on the rolls.
(iii) GPA/CGPA will be calculated at the end of each semester in accordance with the relevant regulations.
17. Minimum Pass Marks: In order to complete a course successfully, a student is required to obtain at least 40 % marks provided he/she avails 20% minimum marks each in semester work (including marks obtained for midterm, assignments and class discussions) and final examination.
18. Grades, Grade Points and Grade Point Average:
(i) Grade and Grade Points: Grade of a course is awarded by teacher, recorded as evaluative and their symbols/letters used are listed below; whereas quality of achievement in a course is measured as Grade Point, that is, points per course hour assigned to a passing grade, indicating numerical value of the subject grade.
(ii) Grade Point Average (GPA): It is widely accepted as a measure of academic achievement. GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of letter graded credit hours attempted. Each grade has a point value as follows: A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, and F=0. W for withdrawal and I for Incomplete may also be used.
Maximum grade point average=4.00
Minimum cumulative grade point average for obtaining a degree =2.25
| Grade | Value | Marks Obtained | Remarks |
| A | 4.00 | 80-100 % | Excellent |
| B | 3.00-3.93 | 65-79 % | Good |
| C | 2.00-2.93 | 50-64 % | Satisfactory |
| D | 1.00-1.90 | 40-49 % | Pass |
| F | 0.00 | Below 40 % | Fail |
(Fractional marks to be rounded to the nearest whole number)
GPA of a semester is calculated as: multiply each grade point you receive by the number of credit hours for that course, add up the totals, and then divide by the total number of credit hours taken in that semester.
Cumulative Grade Point Average: Cumulative grade point average (CGPA) is the weighted mean value of all grade points earned by enrollment or by examination in courses at VU.
(Explanation: GPA and CGPA includes the number of credit hours at VU for a letter grade even if a grade of "F" was earned).
The cumulative grade point average (CGPA) will be calculated on the basis of the following formula:
CGPA = Sum(Credit Hrs for course X Grade Point obtained in the course) / Sum(credit Hrs)
with the sum being taken over all courses taken by the student with the specification that repeated courses shall be counted once only.
(Explanation: If a student repeats a course, it will only be counted once towards the grade point and that will be calculated in the CGPA).
