A. The CIS/ Dissertation offers an opportunity to the student to explore a topic in
depth in an area of special interest to the student. The CIS/Dissertation comprises
an investigation, together with the written report and interpretation thereof, of
a subject accepted and approved by a member of the faculty. A CIS or
Dissertation could either be of an exploratory type or a prescriptive type witha
focus on its applicability to management situations. It may be a case study, a study
of a policy problem, a historical study, development of a new method, comparison
of two or more methods, formulation and testing a hypothesis relevant to some
areas of management. The CIS may be field/library-based study or both.
Dissertation is expected to be largely field-based.

below:
1. Problem Formulation
2. Research Methodology
3. Sample Frame & Surveys (where applicable)
4. Literature survey
5. Analysis of the Problem/Data
6. Recommendation with justification (where applicable)
7. Implications for implementation (where applicable)
8. Bibliography and citations
9. Limitations and scope for further work/study
C. The evaluation of a CIS or Dissertation will be based on the parameters suggested
in B, the adequacy of data and the language, cogency, format and getup. The
evaluation scheme should be as under:
Component Weightage
1. Proposal : 10% - 15%
2. Mid-term review : 20% - 25%
(to be submitted before the mid-term exam.)
3. Final Report : 50% - 60%
(to be submitted before the final-term exam.)
4. Oral Presentation : 10%
The final evaluation of the work will be done by the faculty supervisor(s) on the
usual 10-point letter grading system.
D. Two copies of the CIS report and four copies of the Dissertation report must be
submitted to the PGP office on the first day of the end term examination, of the
respective term.

 PGP Manual 2022-24

7.1.2 Under extra-ordinary circumstances, students may obtain leave of absence under
the following rules and procedures:
 Prior permission of the Chairman PGP must be obtained for availing of leave.
Students going out of station or to their local guardian for overnight stay must inform
the Chairman PGP. If a student is noticed to be out of station for overnight without
any intimation to the Chairman PGP, disciplinary action may be taken against
him/her to the extent of debarring from appearing in the examinations. In case of
sickness, medical certificate issued and/or countersigned by the Institute
Medical Officer along with the prescribed application form must be submitted
to the PGP Office within 3 days of joining classes after illness. No student shall be
allowed to join the programme unless he/she presents a medical fitness certificate
duly endorsed by the institute Medical Officer.
Institute’s Medical Officers will issue medical certificates only in case of diagnosed
illness where they are convinced that the student is too ill to attend classes. These
include hospitalization, communicable diseases (Covid-19 or related infections,
chicken-pox, jaundice and typhoid) and accidental injuries (fractures and deep
traumas).
In general, for medical treatment in Lucknow city or in any other city, student must
be referred by the Institute's Doctor / Health Centre. Resident Doctor's reference may
not be required only in case of emergency.
 For grounds other than sickness, leave may not be granted for a period exceeding
three teaching days. Before applying for leave to the Chairman PGP, student should
contact his/her course instructors to ensure that s/he is not missing any quizzes or
examinations during the leave period. No attendance will be granted for such leaves.
 The PGP Office or the concerned faculty will not be responsible for the student losing
any segment of evaluation on account of his/her leave.

7.2 Attendance Rules:

Each student is expected to attend a minimum of 80% of classes in each course. A grade
penalty will be imposed on all the students who do not meet the minimum 80%
attendance requirements in each course in the following manner:

Attendance of Student Grade Penalty

Less than 80% One full letter grade drop (e.g. from
A+ to B+, B- to C-, C+ to D, etc.)

Less than 50% F grade will be awarded

If a student gets D grade in a particular course and also gets a grade drop due to
attendance shortage, ‘D’ will become an ‘F’ grade. If a student fails to meet the specified
attendance requirement, his/her Grade in the respective course(s) would be lowered
by the Chairman PGP in accordance with the grade penalty rules laid down above. It is
important to note that students having less than 50% attendance in a course due to any
reason including medical problem(s) will be awarded F grade in that course. In other
words, minimum 50% attendance is required to be eligible to get a pass grade.

leave on medical grounds. A student has to be present for at least 80% of the

Manual, that students having less than 50% attendance in a course due to any reason

8. ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE EVALUATION SYSTEM

8.1 The evaluation of academic performance is based on varying combinations of the
following components:
a) Assignments, Quizzes, Class participation, etc.
b) Project Work
c) Mid-term Examination
d) End-term Examination

While components (c) and (d) are mandatory for a full course, relative weightage of the
components for a specific course will be at the discretion of the instructor. For half credit
(and 0.75 credit) courses, mid-term examination is not mandatory. The evaluationscheme
for every course will be conveyed to the students at the beginning of the course along
with the course outline.

8.2 A ten-point grading scale with corresponding letter grades as follows will be used:

Letter Grade A+ A A- B+ B B- C+ C C- D F
Grade Point 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

The Term Grade Point Average (TGPA) will be calculated by computing the sum of
grade points in respective courses multiplied by their respective credits, and dividing

10
 PGP Manual 2022-24

it by the total credits for all courses in the term. Similarly, the Cumulative Grade Point
Average (CGPA) will be calculated at the end of each term as a composite index of the
academic performance of the student up to that stage in the Programme.

8.3 The Faculty Member will assign a numeric score to each student, which will be the
weighted sum of component scores. Numeric score for individual components along with
class distribution of scores may be communicated to the students. The Faculty Member
will also specify score range for each letter grade. However, PGP committee would
reserve the right to moderate the grades of core courses taught by two or more faculty
members to ensure adherence to the grading guidelines and ensure consistency of
grading across sections. The right of moderation would be used by the PGP committee
(for upward or downward revision of grades) only under exceptional circumstances (i.e.,
in case of major deviation from the grading guidelines).

8.4 A student is required to achieve the minimum standards as prescribed below:

8.4.1 In order to qualify for promotion to the second year, the student's CGPA at the

and/or to qualify for promotion, at no stage in the first year shall the student accumulate:
(a) F grade in more than two courses; or
(b) D grade in any course if he/she has obtained F grade in two courses; or
(c) D grade in more than two courses if he/she has obtained F grade in one course; or
(d) D grade in more than four courses if he/she has not obtained F grade in any course.

course. Failure to achieve the prescribed minimum standards of academic performance
will result in the student's termination from the programme.

8.4.5 For students who participate in International Exchange Programme, final CGPA
will be computed on the basis of courses taken at IIML, in Five Terms, Term I to IV and
VI.

8.4.6 The merit list at the end of PGP-II Term-VI for students participating in
International Exchange Programme is generated on the basis of courses taken at IIML in
five Terms, Term I to IV and VI, but CGPA is to be calculated for all six Terms by taking
the Term-V GPA as the weighted average GPA of Term-IV and Term-VI at IIML, where

11
 PGP Manual 2022-24

weights are credits taken in Term-IV and Term-VI. While for other students, the CGPA
will be on the basis of Courses taken at IIML in all six Terms, Term I to VI.

8.4.7 It is mandatory for students participating in International program to take

approval before registering in the courses. If a student fails to qualify any course during
the International Exchange Programme, then F grade (and equivalent D grade, if

evaluation at IIML in terms of provisions laid down in 8.4.1, 8.4.2 and 8.4.3.

8.4.8 : PGP Academic Committee/Academic Probation: PGP Chairman would form the
PGP Academic Committee comprising of PGP Chairperson, Admission Chairperson,
