Examinations, Grading & Progression
Scheme of Marking
A total of 100 marks are assigned for examination and grading. The scheme applies to both Non-Engineering and Engineering programmes:
| Component | Marks |
|---|---|
| Quizzes / Project / Assignments / Class Participation / Presentation / Practical / Case Studies | 20 |
| Mid-Term Examination | 30 |
| Final Examination (Comprehensive) | 50 |
| Total | 100 |
Attempting the final examination at the end of semester is mandatory. Absence from examination will result in a grade ‘F’ in the respective course.
Grading Formula
| Grade | Description | Marks Range | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Exceptional | 88–100 | 4.0 |
| B+ | Outstanding | 81–87 | 3.5 |

| I | Incomplete (due to short attendance) | — | — |
GPA = Sum of (Credit Hours × Grade Point) ÷ Sum of Credit Hours
Class Attendance
One credit of theory requires one contact hour, and one credit hour of practical/lab requires three contact hours during a semester. It is mandatory for every student to attend at least 75% of the contact hours, failing which he/she will not be allowed to sit the final examination and Grade ‘I’ will be awarded in the final result. Students are advised to maximise attendance; anyone absent for three or more days continuously will be required to render an explanation even if the contact hours are otherwise complete. Habitual late comers are marked absent from the class.
Re-checking of Papers
Only re-checking is allowed — checking papers for numerical mistakes and omissions only. To request re-checking, deposit a re-checking fee of Rs. 100 per paper and submit your request to the Head of Department within 7 days after the declaration of result. The HoD forwards the request to the Controller of Examinations, who conveys the decision back to the HoD, who informs the student.
If a student is not satisfied with the evaluation of a paper, they may submit a request to the Dean of Faculty for re-evaluation, who may consider the request on merit and form a panel of examiners to re-evaluate the paper.
Time Limit for Degree Completion
INU follows the ‘1.5’ rule — a four-year degree must be completed within six years, a two-year degree within three years, and so on.
| Programme Length | Maximum Time Limit |
|---|---|
| 4 years | 6 years |
| 3.5 years | 5 years |
| 2.5 years | 4 years |
| 2 years | 3 years |
| 1.5 years | 2.5 years |
- If a student has completed 50% of the degree, they may continue to the permissible limit, provided they maintain continuity and attend classes regularly without break.
- Final CGPA is not issued until all degree requirements are completed.
- Any further waiver for time-barred cases is subject to approval by the Vice Chancellor on the recommendation of the Dean of Faculty, case by case.
Criteria for the Award of Medals at Convocation
Highest CGPA within the same batch, subject to all of the following:
- Regular student of the same batch
- No withdrawal or freeze case
- No repetition or retake case
- No failure case
- No incomplete ('I') case
- No summer semester case
- No course drop case
- No disciplinary case
- No credit transfer case
- CGPA of 3.8 or above
Refund and Adjustment of Fee
University fee may be refunded to newly admitted students as per HEC policy.
Tuition fee will be adjusted or transferred to the next semester if a course is cancelled and no alternate course is offered, or if a student drops a course or semester during the first three days of the start of classes.
