Re: ::: vuaskari.com ::: For passing a subject a student is required to meet the following two requirements

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).

Dear Student

You are advised to please read the all examples carefully.

For passing a subject a student is required to meet the following two requirements:

1.      A student is required to obtain at least 20% marks in first half i.e. Assignments, Quizzes, Discussions and Midterm collectively and at least 20% in second half i.e. Final Term exam.

2.      A student must secure at least 40% marks overall

A student will be considered as Pass in the subject if he/she fulfills the above two requirements.

Marks distribution:

Distribution of marks is according to the Grading Scheme defined by the academics. Student can view subject Grading Scheme in his VULMS account in "Course Website" heading.

Example:

If grading scheme is as

Assignments	Quizzes	GDBs	Midterm	Final Term	Net Score
10%	3%	2%	35%	50%	100%

 

According to the first requirement of 20% rule marks distribution is as under:

First Half				Second Half	Net Score
Assignments	Quizzes	GDBs	Midterm	Final Term	First Half + Second Half
10%	3%	2%	35%	50%	100%

First half marks = sum of all items marks like assignments, discussions, midterm, quizzes etc

Second half marks = Final term marks.

Case: 1

More than 20% marks in every half but less than 40% in the Net score.

 

First Half				First Half Marks out of 50	Second Half	Net Score out of 100	Status	Remarks
Assignments Marks out of 10	Quizzes Marks out of 3	GDBs Marks out of 2	Midterm Marks out of 35		Finalterm Marks out of 50
6	1	1	10	18	17	35	Fail	Due to less than 40% marks

Case 2:

Less than 20% marks in first half

First Half				First Half Marks out of 50	Second Half	Net Score out of 100	Status	Remarks
Assignments Marks out of 10	Quizzes Marks out of 3	GDBs Marks out of 2	Midterm Marks out of 35		Finalterm Marks out of 50
3	1	1	4	9	33	42	Fail	First half marks less than 20%

 

Case: 3

 

Less than 20% marks in second half

 

First Half				First Half Marks out of 50	Second Half	Net Score out of 100	Status	Remarks
Assignments Marks out of 10	Quizzes Marks out of 3	GDBs Marks out of 2	Midterm Marks out of 35		Finalterm Marks out of 50
9	2	2	24	37	8	45	Fail	First half marks less than 20%

 

Case: 4

 

More than 20% marks in every half and fulfilling the requirement of getting the overall marks more than 40%

 

First Half				First Half Marks out of 50	Second Half	Net Score out of 100	Status	Remarks
Assignments Marks out of 10	Quizzes Marks out of 3	GDBs Marks out of 2	Midterm Marks out of 35		Finalterm Marks out of 50
9	2	2	24	37	23	45	Pass	Fulfilling the all requirements
