Pass Criteria for Theory and Practical Examinations
Minimum Pass Marks for Most Courses: A candidate must secure a minimum of 50% marks in each of the theory and practical papers separately to pass, except for specific courses like Communicative English and Elective modules.
Communicative English and Elective Modules: The minimum pass mark for Communicative English and each Elective module is 40%. These marks are not included in the calculation of the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA).
Mandatory Modules: Students must pass all mandatory modules within courses, with a minimum pass mark of 50% for each module.
Separate Passing Requirement: A candidate must pass separately in both internal and external examinations for each course, and this distinction must be reflected in the mark sheet.
Reappearance for Failure: If a candidate fails in either theory or practical, they must reappear for both components (theory and practical) of that paper.
Grace Marks: Grace marks of up to 5 can be added to the theory marks of one course/subject only in a semester, provided that this addition enables the student to pass the semester examination.
