 406274- Audit Course- 6

In addition to credits course, it is recommended that there should be audit course (non-
credit course) preferably in each semester from second year. The student will be
awarded grade as AP on successful completion of audit course. The student may opt for
one of the audit courses per semester, starting in second year first semester. Though not
mandatory, such audit courses can help the student to get awareness of different issues
which make impact on human lives and enhance their skill sets to improve their
employability. List of audit courses offered in each semester is provided in curriculum.
Each student has to choose one audit course from the list per semester. Evaluation of
audit course will be done at institute level. Method of conduction and method of
assessment for audit courses is suggested.
The student registered for audit course shall be awarded the grade AP and shall be
included such grade in the Semester grade report for that course, provided student has
the minimum attendance as prescribed by the Savitribai Phule Pune University and
satisfactory in-semester performance and secured a passing grade in that audit course.
No grade points are associated with this 'AP' grade and performance in these courses is
not accounted in the calculation of the performance indices SGPA and CGPA.
Evaluation of audit course will be done at institute level itself.
