8. Course Designation and Numbering System:

Each course is designated by a two to five letter word (e.g. ME, EEE, Math)
identifying the department which offers it following by a four digit number
with the following criteria:
a) The first digit corresponds to the year in which the course is
normally taken by the students.
b) The second digit corresponds to the semester in that year.
c) The 3rd and 4th digits are reserved for departmental use indicating
major area.
d) The 4th digit is usually odd for theoretical and even for laboratory
or sessional courses.

The course designation system is illustrated by one example as shown below:

ME 1 1 01 Course Title: Basic Mechanical Engineering

3rd and 4th digits are reserved for departmental use.

Last digit designates a course (odd No for theoretical and
even No. for sessional course).

Second digit signifies Semester number (1 for odd semester,

2 for even semester).
First digit signifies year (First year).
Department identification code (Mechanical Engineering).

N.B.: There will be one blank space after department identification code.
Project/thesis courses shall be designed by the department identification
code followed by 4100 and 4200 (Example: ME 4100 and ME 4200).

9. Types of Courses:
The courses included in undergraduate curricula are divided into several
groups as follows:
9.1 Core Courses: In each discipline a number of courses are identified as
core courses which form the nucleus of the respective Bachelor’s degree
program. A student has to complete all of the designated core courses
for his discipline.

32
9.2 Pre-requisite Course: Some of the core courses are identified as pre-
requisite courses. A pre-requisite course is one, which is required to be
completed before taking some other course(s). Any such course, on
which one or more subsequent courses build up, may be offered in each
of the two regular semesters (if possible).
9.3 Optional Courses: Apart from the core courses, students have to
complete a number of courses which are optional in nature. In those
cases, students will have some choices to choose the required number of
courses from a specified group/number of courses.

10. Departmental Monitoring Committee and Student Adviser:

10.1 Department monitoring committee: Each department constitutes a
Departmental Monitoring Committee with two teachers from the
respective Department as members, nominated by the Academic
Committee and Head of the Department as chairman. This committee
monitors and evaluates the performance of the Course System within the
Department. The committee may also propose from time to time to the
Academic Committee if any changes and modifications needed for
upgrading/changing the Undergraduate Curriculum and the Course
System.
10.2 Student Adviser: Advisor(s) are appointed for a batch of student by the
Department Monitoring Committee of the concerned Department(s)
who advises each student on the courses to be taken by a student.
Adviser discusses with the student on his academic program and then
decides the nature of courses for which he/she can register. However, it
is the student’s responsibility to keep contact with his adviser who
reviews and eventually approves the student’s specific plan of study and
checks on subsequent progress. The adviser generally be of the rank of
an Assistant Professor or above from the concerned Department(s).
However, in case of shortage of teachers, Lecturers may be appointed as
adviser.
For a student of second and subsequent semesters, the nature of courses
for which he can register will be decided on the basis of his/her academic
performance during the previous semester(s). The adviser advises the
students to register for the courses during the next semester within the
framework of the guidelines in respect of minimum/maximum credit
hours limits.

11. Registration Requirements:

Any student who wants to study a course is required to register formally.
Being admitted to the University, each student is assigned to a student
adviser. The student can register for courses he/she intends to take
during a given semester only on the basis of the advice and consent of
his/her adviser.

33
11.1 Registration Procedure: Students must register for each class in which
they will participate. Each student will fill up his/her Course
Registration Form in consultation with and under the guidance of his/her
adviser. The original copy of the Course Registration Form(s) will be
submitted to the Registrar’s Office, and then the requisite number of
copies will be distributed to the adviser and Head. The date, time and
venue for registration will be announced in advance by the Department’s
Office. It is absolutely necessary that all students present themselves for
registration at the specified time.
11.2 Limits on the Credit Hours to be taken: A student must be enrolled

semester within the allowed credit limits.
11.3 Pre-condition for Registration: A student will be allowed to register
in those courses subject to the satisfaction of pre-requisite courses. If a
student fails in a pre-requisite course in any semester, the concerned
Department Monitoring Committee may allow him/her to register for a
course which builds on the pre-requisite course provided his attendance
and grades in continuous assessment in the said pre-requisite course is
found to be satisfactory.
Registration will be done at the beginning of each semester. Late
registration is however, permitted during the second week on payment
of a late registration fee. Students having outstanding dues to the
University or a hall of residence shall not be permitted to register. All
students have therefore, to clear their dues and get a clearance or no dues
certificate, on the production of which, they will be given necessary
Course Registration Forms and complete the course registration
procedure. Registration Forms are normally available in the Register’s
office. An orientation program will be conducted for only the first year
students at the beginning of the first semester when they will be handed
over the registration package on producing enrollment slip/proof of
admission.
11.4 Registration Deadline: Student must register for the courses to be taken
within 1 (One) week from the commencement of each semester and no
late registration will be accepted after 2(Two) weeks of classes. Late
registration after this date will not be accepted unless the student submits
a written appeal to the Registrar through the concerned Head and can
document extraordinary circumstances such as medical problems
(physically incapacitated and not able to be presented) or some other
academic commitments which precluded enrolling prior to the last date
of registration.
11.5 Penalty for Late Registration: Students who fail to register during the
designated dates for registration are charged a late registration fee Tk

34
 500/= per week. This extra fee will not be waived whatever be the reason
for late registration.
11.6 Withdrawal from a Semester: If a student is unable to complete the
semester Final Examination due to illness, accident or any other valid
reason etc., he/she may apply to the Head of the department. Each
Department will decide for total withdrawal from the semester before
the start of the semester final examination. He/she may choose not to
withdraw any laboratory/sessional/design course if the grade obtained
in such a course is ‘D’ or better. The application must be supported by
a medical certificate from any authorized Medical Officer. The
Academic Council will take the final decision about such applications.
However, he/she will not be permitted to the next year class unless
he/she completes the required credit for that year.

12. Striking off the Names and Readmission:

12.1 The names of the students shall be struck off and removed from the rolls
on the following grounds:
i) Non-payment of University fees and dues within the prescribed
period.
ii) Forced to discontinue his/her studies under disciplinary rules.
iii) Withdrawal of names from the rolls of the University on grounds
acceptable to the Vice-Chancellor of the University/ nominated
authority after having cleared all dues.
iv) Could not earn required credits for graduation as outlined in the
respective curriculum and/or fulfill CGPA requirement within the
maximum allowed time of 7 academic years. For Architecture
maximum allowed time is 8 academic years.
12.2 Every student whose name has been struck off the rolls by exercise of
the clauses (ii) of Article 12.1 seeking re-admission after expiry of the
period for which he/she was forced to discontinue his/her studies, shall
submit an application to the Head of the Department in the prescribed
form before the commencement of the session to which he/she seeks re-
admission. The Head of the Department shall forward the application to
the Registrar of the University with his remarks. In case the readmission
is allowed, the student will be required on payment of all dues to get
him/her-self admitted no later than one week from the date of permission
given by the Registrar. All re-admissions should preferably be
completed before the session starts. The percentage of attendance of the
re-admitted students shall be counted from the date of recommendation
of the concerned Head of the department.
12.3 No student who has withdrawn his/her name under clause (iii) of Article
12.1 shall be given readmission.

35
12.4 In case, a student whose name has been struck off the rolls under clause
(i) of Article 12.1 seeks readmission within the session in which his/her
name was struck off, he/she shall be readmitted on payment of all the
arrears fees and dues. But if he/she seeks readmission in any subsequent
session, the procedure for his/her readmission will be the same as
described under Article 12.2.
12.5 The application of a student for readmission will be considered if he/she
applies within two academic sessions from the semester of
discontinuance of his/her studies in the University. Other than
debarment as punishment under the ordinance related to discipline, a
student failing for any other reason whatsoever to become a candidate
for a semester final examination in which he/she ought to have had in
the usual process of his/her progressive academic activities, shall be
considered to have discontinued his/her studies for the relevant semester
together with striking the name off from current roll and two such
discontinuance periods will be considered equivalent to that for one
academic session. The maximum period of discontinuance under no
circumstances is to exceed two academic sessions during a student’s
period of studies for the degree.
12.6 In case any application for readmission is rejected, the student may
appeal to the Academic Council and, in this case, the decision of the
Academic Council shall be final.
12.7 A student, whose name has been struck off the rolls by exercise of clause
(iv) of Article 12.1, is not eligible to seek readmission.
12.8 After Short semester, if any student fails to complete his/her required
courses he/she will take readmission in the final year.
13. Grading System:
The letter grade system shall be used to assess the performance of the
student and shall be as follows:
Numerical grade Letter grade Grade point
80% or above A+ (A Plus) 4.0
75% to less than 80% A (A Regular) 3.75
70% to less than 75% A- (A Minus) 3.5
65% to less than 70% B+ (B Plus) 3.25
60% to less than 65% B (B Regular) 3.0

Less than 40% F 0
Incomplete I -
Need to register again -- --

36
 A grade ‘I’ shall be awarded for courses (like project & thesis, design etc.)
in the odd semester, which continue through to the even semester.

13.1 Calculation of GPA and CGPA: Grade point average (GPA) is the
weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the courses
passed/completed by a student in a semester. ‘F’ grades do not count for
GPA calculation. GPA of a semester will be calculated as follows:

C G i i
GPA = i =1
n

C i =1
i

where, n is the total number of courses passed by the student, Ci is the

number of credits allotted to a particular course i and Gi is the grade point
corresponding to the grade awarded for ith course.
The overall or Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) gives the
cumulative performance of the student from first semester up to any other
semester to which it refers and is computed by dividing the total grade
points (∑ Ci Gi) accumulated up to the date by the total credit hours (∑
Ci). Both GPA and CGPA are rounded off to the second place of decimal
for reporting.

14. Distribution of Marks:

14.1 The distribution of marks for a given course is as follows:
i) Theory courses:
Continuous assessment (40%)
Summative assessment (60%)
Class participation and attendance 10
Class tests 20
Assignment/Project/Viva voce/ Presentation/etc./others 10
Semester Final Examination (3 hours duration) 60
Total= 100
***Minimum requirement to pass in the theory course is 15 marks
out of 60 in the semester final exam.

ii) Independent sessional/design/field work courses:

Class participation and attendance 10
Quizzes 20
Lab Performance, Lab Report, Lab Final,

37
 Presentation/Viva and Others 45
Board Viva (Compulsory) 25
Total = 100

Total = 100

iv) Project and thesis (Other departments):

Viva voce (conducted by a viva voce committee) 30
Supervisor (internal examiner) 50
External examiner (any other teacher of the department/
Examination committee) 20
Total = 100

14.2 Basis for awarding marks for class participation and attendance will be
as follows:

Attendance Marks
90% and above 10
85% to less than 90% 9
80% to less than 85% 8
75% to less than 80% 7
70% to less than 75% 6
65% to less than 70% 5
60% to less than 65% 4
Less than 60% 0

14.3 The students will not be allowed to sit in the semester final examination
for failing to attend at least 50% in the classes. The students whose
percentage of attendance will fall short of 75% in any of the theory,
sessional courses for which he/she has registered in one academic year
shall not be eligible for the award of any type of
scholarship/stipend/grant for the following academic session.

15. Class tests:

i) 3 best out of 4 class tests may be taken for awarding grade.
ii) Duration of class tests normally should be 20-30 minutes and materials

16. Earned Credits:

The courses in which a student has obtained ‘D’ or a higher Grade will
be counted as credits earned by him/her. Any course in which a student
has obtained ‘F’ grade will not be counted towards his/her earned
credits.
A student, who obtains a ‘F’ grade in any Core Course in any semester,
he/she will have to repeat the course. If a student obtains a ‘F’ in an
Optional Course, he/she may choose to repeat the course or take a
substitute course if available.
‘F’ grades will be considered as backlog courses. ‘F’ grades will not be
counted for GPA calculation but will stay permanently on the Grade
Sheet and Transcript.
A student obtaining D grade in a course will be allowed to repeat the
course for the purpose of grade improvement if CGPA of the student
falls below 2.20. In such case he/she will be awarded the new grade thus
he/she obtains or retains his/her previous grade if he/she fails.

17. Performance Evaluation:

students who maintain good standing with the University obtaining
SGPA of 3.75 or above in two regular semesters in each academic year

39
 may be published in the VC’s List in each department. Students who
have received F grade in any course during any of the two regular
semesters will not be considered for VC’s List in that year.
18.4 University Gold Medal: If a student can show extraordinary brilliance
and obtains all A or better grades in all the courses he/she attended and
fulfills the credit requirement for graduation will be honored by
awarding University gold medal in a special function/convocation.

semester. Such absence will naturally lead to reduction in points/marks,
which count towards the final grade. Absence in semester final
examination due to lack of attendance (less than 50%) only of any
courses will be considered as unregistered, hence requires a new
registration with a regular semester.
A student who has been absent for short period, up to a maximum of
three weeks due to illness, should approach the course teacher(s) or the
course coordinator(s) for a make-up quizzes or assignments
immediately on returning to the classes. Such request should be
supported by medical certificate from University medical officer. The
medical certificate issued by a registered medical practitioner (with the
registration number shown explicitly or the certificates) will also be
acceptable only in those cases where the student has valid reason for
his/her absence from the University.

99
 Below 50% F Fail 0.0
S Satisfactory
U Unsatisfactory
W Withdrawn

5.1.1 Courses in which a student gets ‘F’ grades shall not be counted
towards credit hour requirements and for the calculation of Grade
Point Average (GPA).
5.1.2 If a student registers a course in a semester but unable to sit for the
examination due to unavoidable reasons, his/her course will be
considered as ‘withdrawn’ and a grade ‘W ‘will appear in the
grade sheet if he/she applies before commencement of the

respective course teacher. If he/she does not apply and remain
absent in the examination, he/she will get ‘F’ grade in that subject.
5.1.3 Satisfactory (S) and unsatisfactory (U) grade shall be used only
as final grade for thesis/ project and non-credit courses.

5.2 Calculation of GPA and CGPA

Grade Point Average (GPA) is the weighted average in a semester
and is calculated as
n

C G i i
GPA = i =1
n

C i =1
i

where n is the number of courses completed by the student in a

semester with grades not less than C, Ci is the credit hour in a
particular course and Gi is the grade point corresponding to the
grade obtained by the student in that course.
A Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) shall also be
computed at the end of second and subsequent semesters. CGPA
gives the cumulative performance of the student; and is computed
by taking n in the above equation as the total number of courses
completed by the student from first semester up to any other
semester to which it refers.
Both GPA and CGPA will be rounded off to the second place of
decimal for reporting.

100
6. Conduct of Examination of Theory Courses

the semester as may be given by the teachers(s) concerned, there
shall be a written examination at the end of the semester for each
of the courses offered in that semester. The dates of such
examination will be announced by the Head of the respective
department at least two weeks before the commencement of the
examinations. The final grade in a subject shall be based on the
performance in all tests, assignments and/or examinations.
6.2 The respective teacher(s) of each theory course offered in a
semester will be the paper setter and script examiner for the
semester examination.
6.3 The respective course teacher will submit the final grades
obtained by the student(s) in his/her course in a prescribed form
to the Head of the department and will also submit a copy of the
same to the Controller of Examination of the University.
