Symbiosis Institute of Technology

The grading system here is relative grading . 

Symbiosis Institute of Technology (SIT) follows a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) system for evaluating student performance. The CGPA is calculated based on the grades obtained by a student in individual courses or subjects over a specified period, typically a semester or an academic year. Here's a general overview of how CGPA is calculated:

1. Grade Points: Each grade received in a course is assigned a specific grade point. The grade point scale may vary between institutions, but it is commonly on a scale of 10. For example:

   • O: 10 grade points
   • A+: 9 grade points
   • A: 8 grade points
   • B+: 7 grade points
   • B :6grade points
   • F: 0 grade points (denotes failure)

2. Credit Hours: Each course or subject is assigned a certain number of credit hours, which represent the weightage or importance of that course. Credit hours are typically determined based on the course's academic workload and contact hours.

3. Grade Point Average (GPA): To calculate the GPA for a specific semester or academic year, multiply the grade points earned in each course by the credit hours for that course. Add up the total grade points earned across all courses and divide it by the total credit hours taken during that period. The result is the GPA for that particular semester or academic year.

   GPA = (Total Grade Points Earned) / (Total Credit Hours Taken)

4. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA): The CGPA represents the overall performance of a student across multiple semesters or academic years. It is calculated by taking into account the GPA obtained in each semester or academic year. To calculate the CGPA, multiply the GPA earned in each semester by the respective credit hours for that semester, add up the total grade points, and divide it by the total credit hours taken up to that point.

   CGPA = (Total Grade Points Earned) / (Total Credit Hours Taken)

Marks Deduction. This deduction can impact the overall grade or evaluation of the course as here in case of relative grading every marks counts

Makeup Exams: SIT might provide an opportunity for students who have a valid reason for missing internal exams to take makeup exams. However, this provision is typically subject to specific conditions and requires prior approval from the relevant authorities.

Academic Consequences: Continuous assessment, including internal exams, often contributes to the final grade or evaluation of a course. Missing internal exams may result in a lower overall grade or an incomplete assessment, affecting the student's academic progress.
