Grades

A candidate shall be deemed to have passed the Degree of Bachelor of Information Technology Examination if he has,

  •  a minimum of 90 Credits with at least 30 Credits from each of the three years; Enhancement course (EN 6501) is excluded from the credit calculation.
  •  a minimum GPA of 2.00 in the three years:
  • a grade not inferior to a C for the third year Individual Project and a grade not inferior to D for all other courses.
  • a grade not inferior to C for the PC Applications (IT1304) and Mathematics for Computing I (IT2104) courses and passing the Introduction to Entrepreneurship (EN6501) course
  • If the candidate fails to obtain a mark of 50% or more at the Individual Project, he shall be required to re-submit the project report and/or re-appear for the defence as determined by the Board of Examiners. 

A candidate who fails to satisfactorily complete the continuous assessment component in respect of each year may be required to repeat such component. Year 1 and 2 LMS is not required to get BIT. Each course examination and the project shall be graded according to the scheme given below.

Grading Scheme

 

The Grade Point Value (GPV) corresponding to the percentage score obtained by a student in respect of each such Course in the case shall be multiplied by its Credit Value and weighted across all Courses to obtain the Grade Point Average (GPA = ∑(GPV*Credit)/ ∑ Credit) rounded to the second decimal place, of all the contributing Courses of the student. Such courses shall satisfy the minimum 30 Credits per academic year as prescribed in the handbook. If a candidate pass a course after repeating (appearing for an examination more than once) the maximum class grade value would be 2.00. An example for GPA calculation is given below.

 

Course Credit Value Grade Grade Value Attempt GPV (Pass) GPV (Class)
IT1104 4 A+ 4.25 2 4.25*4= 17 2.00*4= 8
IT1204 4 A    4.00 1 4.00*4= 16 16
IT1304 4 A-  3.75 1 3.75*4=15 15
IT1404 4 B+ 3.25 1 3.25*4= 13 13
IT2104 4 B    3.00 2 3.00*4= 12 2.00*4= 8
IT2204 4 B-  2.75 1 2.75*4= 11 11
IT2304 4 C+ 2.25 2 2.25*4=9 2.00*4= 8
IT2404 4 C    2.00 1 2.00*4= 8 8
Total 32       101 87

Pass GPA = 101/32 = 3.16 and Class GPA = 87/32 = 2.72
