For a class having 30 or more than 30 students, relative
grading system is followed.
For a class having less than 30 students, absolute/fixed
grading system is followed.
Semester performance of a student will be indicated as
“Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA)”. The SGPA is the
weighted average of Grade Points of all letter grades
received by a student for all the courses (both theory and
practical) in the semester.
Passing Criteria
A student is required to secure minimum 30% marks in each
paper independently in End Semester Examination to
qualify for the pass grade. There is no minimum qualifying
marks in continuous evaluation. Minimum aggregate marks
are 35% in UG and 40% in PG Courses considered as ‘PASS’
in each course unit shall remain unchanged.
Students of both UG and PG programmes should also pass
in each semester separately by securing a minimum
Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) of 5 on a 10 point
scale.
2
For successful completion of a programme, the student
should secure a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average
(CGPA) of 5.5 at the end of final year of an Under Graduate
programme (UG) and CGPA of 6 at the end of final year of
Post Graduate Programme( PG) .
A student who has secured passing marks in each theory
practical subject (s), but not having mandatory SGPA in each
semester i.e 5 and minimum CGPA (5.5 for UG and 6.0 for
PG) shall be allowed two chances to reappear in the
examination to improve his SGPA and CGPA by repeating
the Semester Examination(s) in the Course Unit(s) of his
choice when these examinations are held in normal schedule
or in supplementary examination.
Re-Appearing
There is no provision for reappearing in any component of
Internal Assessment in subsequent semesters.
A student, who has failed to secure PASS MARKS in
theory/practical course (s) and has been awarded ‘F’ grade,
is required to reappear when these examinations are held on
normal schedule like odd semester subjects during ‘odd end
courses examination’ and even semester courses during
‘even end course examination’.
A student, who has failed to secure the required passing
SGPA, in order to secure a passing SGPA, has the option to
repeat the end term examinations also of the Course Units of
the concerned semester in which he desires to improve his
performance, when these examinations are held on normal
schedule.
If a student has poor performance in a number of courses in
a particular semester, he may opt to take the academic break
of one year, and re-register for both the semesters of that
academic year in the next academic year.
3
Promotion to the Next Year /Academic Probation/Academic Break
At the end of each academic year i.e., after completion of
two (02) semesters, the academic performance of the
student is reviewed.
If the student has obtained SGPA of minimum 05 (five) in
two (02) semesters of the academic year, then he/she may be
registered for the next semester/year of a programme.
If any student has SGPA between 4 and 5 in not more than
two preceding semesters, then he/she will be promoted to
the next year with a precondition that he/she will have to
clear all back papers and improve his/her SGPA to
minimum 05 (five) of two (02) previous semesters and this is
called ACADEMIC PROBATION.
If a student fails to secure SGPA of 4 in any of the semester
of an academic year and CGPA of 4 in an academic year,
he/she will be asked to repeat the year and make-up the
deficiency by re-appearing in the relevant examinations and
this is called ACADEMIC BREAK.
A student who has been given ACADEMIC BREAK may
prepare for reappearing in all back papers and improve
his/her SGPA as well as CGPA in two ways. During
ACADEMIC BREAK, he/she may prepare from home or
repeat all courses of previous academic year after re-
registration.
4
Based on the opinion of subject expert, members of the
EDC recommend action to be taken in each case.
Recommendation of the EDC is submitted to the VC for final
approval. (Optional).
Action taken /decision of EDC are communicated to the
students in writing.
In case, the student is not satisfied with the decision of EDC,
he/she may again appeal to the VC for reviewing of his/her
case.
Review of any UFM case by EDC is subject to approval of
the VC.
5
Since the eligibility criterion for most of the Companies is 60%
throughout starting from 10th to Current Degree, hence the students
with less than 60% throughout (10th, 12th, Graduation, Post-
Graduation) would not be eligible for any placement assistance
from the Institute/University. The method of calculating CGPA
into Percentage is CGPA*10. CGPA here would always mean the
latest CGPA available with the CRC as on date.
Students have to wear business formals for every recruitment
process. Students wearing casuals during recruitment process will
not be permitted to participate in the placement drive. Formals
means Lounge suit/Blazer/Suit/Shirt & Trouser and Tie for Boy
Students and Salwar Kameez/Saree/Business Suit with Necktie for
Girl Students. Boys must shave, except where not permitted by
their religion.
No students will be allowed to interact /contact the company
executives directly during or after the selection process unless
authorized by the CRC Office. Non-compliance will result in
debarring the students for the Final/Summer Placement.
Students may be required to go to the company’s office or venue
for the purpose of summer/final placement as decided by the
company.
It is the student’s responsibility to see the placement notice and
submit his/her resume to the student coordinators as per the
deadline specified in the notice. No resume will be accepted
thereafter.
Participation of the entire batch in the placement activities is
mandatory. Any student found disinterested & negligent towards
the placement activities would become ineligible for campus
placements and he/she would not be given any recruitment
assistance under any circumstances.
Students who will voluntarily disclose with proof that he/she
does not require placement assistance from the institute would be
exempted from participation in some of the placement activities, as
approved by Head-CRC.
6
All students while interacting with the companies for placements
will represent the Institute and not him/her. Students not adhering
to this would be immediately debarred from Placement assistance
and their academic scores for placement activities would be
nullified.
Any student who has not been considered for selection by any
Company even after eight attempts would be deemed to be non-
serious and hence ineligible.
A student can apply in multiple companies of choice as permitted
by CRC, till the time he/she is placed, but with the frame of mind
that he/she has to put in his/her best and not apply with a casual
approach.
Once a student has applied for a particular company after the
PPT/display of placement notice, it would be assumed that he/she
is interested in the company and hence the excuse of not liking the
profile of the company or the job would not be entertained.
It shall be mandatory for short-listed students to appear for the
interview (final/summer placements). Absence from the interview
shall debar a short-listed student from the placement by the Amity
University and he/she will have to try on his/her own for
summer/final placement.
Once placed, the students should continue with the same company
for a period of minimum one year to give their learning a shape
and maintain a healthy relationship between the Institute and the
Company. In case of unavoidable circumstances, the students must
contact and seek necessary advice from CRC before communicating
their decision to leave the company.
