Syllabus for B.Sc. in Civil Engineering
Session: 2014-2015
The courses designed for B.Sc. in Civil Engineering consist of 4075 marks of 163 credits
distributed over eight semesters in four academic years. Each academic year is divided into two
semesters (odd & even) each of duration not less than 11 weeks (66 working days). There shall
be final examinations at the end of each semester. The medium of answer in all examinations
will be either Bangla or English, but not the mixer of both. The theoretical examination of
courses less than or equal to 2 credits shall be of 2 hours duration and courses greater than 2
credits shall be of 3 hours duration. An academic schedule for an academic year shall be
announced for general notification before the start of the academic year, on the prior approval of
the academic committee.

1. Attendance (Ref. The Rajshahi University Academic Ordinance, 2013 for B.Sc. in
Engineering Curriculum of the Affiliated Colleges/Institutes, article no: 13): In order to be
eligible to appear, as a regular candidate, at the semester final examinations, a student shall be
required to have attended at least 70% of the total number of periods of lectures/
tutorials/laboratory classes offered during the semester in every course. A student whose
attendance falls short of 70% but not below 60% in any course may be allowed to appear at the
final Examinations as non-collegiate student and he/she shall not be eligible for the award of
any scholarship or stipend for the following academic year/semester. A student, appearing the
examination under the benefit of this provision shall have to pay in addition to the fees, the
requisite fee prescribed by the syndicate for the purpose. Students having less than 60%
attendance in lectures/tutorials/laboratory classes of any courses will not be allowed to appear in
the final examinations of the semester. The basis of awarding marks for class participation and
attendance is shown in Table-1.

2. The Grading System
The letter grade system shall be used to assess the performance of the students as shown in Table-2 (Ref.
The Rajshahi University Academic Ordinance, 2013 for B.Sc. in Engineering Curriculum of the
Affiliated Colleges/Institutes, Article no. 14.1):
Table-2: Letter Grade System
Numerical grade Letter Grade point Credit
Grade (LG) (GP) (Ci)
(Gi)
80% or above A+ 4.00 4.00
75% to less than 80% A 3.75 4.00
70% to less than 75% A- 3.50 4.00
65% to less than 70% B+ 3.25 4.00
60% to less than 65% B 3.00 4.00
55% to less than 60% B- 2.75 4.00
50% to less than 55% C+ 2.50 4.00
45% to less than 50% C 2.25 4.00
40% to less than 45% D 2.00 4.00
less than 40% F 0.00 4.00
Incomplete I 0.00 4.00
A letter grade ‘I’ ((incomplete) shall be awarded for courses in the odd semester which continue through
to the even semester.
A Grade Point Average (GPA) shall be calculated for each semester as follows:
n
 Ci G i
GPA  i  1 (i)
n
 Ci
i 1
Where, n is the number of courses offered during the semester, Ci is the number of credits allotted to the
i-th course and Gi is the grade point earned for that course.
Illustration: Suppose a student obtained following grade in Part-1 odd semester:
Letter GP
Code No Subject Credit
Grade
PHY 1111 Physics-1 4 C 2.25
CHEM 1113 Chemistry-1 4 A+ 4.0
MATH1115 Mathematics-1 4 B- 2.75
TE 1111 Introduction to Textile Engineering 6 B+ 3.25
CE 1112 Engineering Drawing 2 A+ 4.0
4 (2.25)  4 (4)  4 (2.75)  6 (3.25)  2 (4)
Therefore, GPA in the Part - 1 odd semester   2.40
44462
And let’s assume that his/her GPA in Part-1 even semester is 3.13

A Yearly Grade Point Average (YGPA) shall be calculated for each academic year as follows:
2
 C jG j
j 1 (ii)
YGPA 
n
 Cj
j 1
20 (2.40) 20 (3.13)
Therefore,YGPA of Part - 1 Examination   2.77
20  20
2
The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) gives the cumulative performance of students from the
first year upto the end of the fourth year to which it refers, and will be calculated as follows:
m
 Ck G k
CGPA  k  1 (iii)
m
 Ck
k 1
where, m is the total number of years being considered, C k is the total number of credits registered during
the k-th year and Gk is the YGPA earned in that particular year.
Similarly assume that, the YGPA of the student for the other 3 Parts are as follows:
Year Credit YGPA
Part-II 40 3.47
Part-III 40 2.96
Part-IV 40 3.33

Then his/her CGPA of four academic years is

40 (2.77) 40 (3.47) 40 (2.96) 40(3.33)

Therefore,CGPA   3.13
40  40  40  40

(Both YGPA & CGPA will be rounded upto the second place of decimal for reporting. For instance,
YGPA= 2.212 shall be rounded up as YGPA=2.22)
3. Earned Credit

The courses in which a student has obtained minimum ‘D’ in ‘Theoretical courses’ and ‘C’ in
‘Laboratory courses & Board Viva-Voice’ or higher grade will be counted as credits earned by the
student. Any course in which a student has obtained ‘F’ grade will not be counted towards his/her earned
credit. ‘F’ grade will not be counted for GPA calculation but will stay permanently on the Grade sheet
and Transcripts.
