V. ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES
1. Grading of Performance
Based on the performance, each student shall be awarded a final grade at the end of the
semester for each course. Absolute grading is used by converting the marks to grade, based on
predetermined class intervals.UGC 10 point grading system is used with pass grade modified.
Letter grade Grade point Percentage of marks

O (Outstanding) 10 100%
A+ (Excellent) 9 90-99.99%
A (Very Good) 8 80-89.99%
B+ (Good) 7 70-79.99%
B (Above Average) 6 60-69.99%
C (Average) 5 50-59.99%
P (Pass) 4 40-49.99%
F (Fail) 0
For Nursing Courses and all other courses – Pass is at C Grade (5 grade
point) 50% and aboveFor English and electives – Pass is at P Grade (4 grade
point) 40% and above
Computation of Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average
(CGPA)
SPGA is the weighted average of the grade points obtained in all courses by the student
during the semester(All courses excluding English and electives)
Ex. SGPA Computation
Course Credit/s Letter grade Grade point Credit point (Credit ×

Number grade)
1 3 (C1) A 8 (G1) 3 × 8 = 24
2 4 (C2) B+ 7 (G2) 4 × 7 = 28
3 3 (C3) B 6 (G3) 3 × 6 = 18
Computation of CGPA
CGPA is calculated with SGPA of all semesters to two decimal points and is indicated in final
grade in markcard/transcript showing grades of all 8 semesters and their courses/subjects.
CGPA reflects the failed status in case of fail till the course/s are passed.

Transcript Format
Based on the above recommendation on letter grades, grade points, SPGA and CGPA, the transcript
shall be issued foreach semester with a consolidated transcript indicating the performance in all
semesters.

*Experiential Learning:
Experiential learning is the process by which
knowledge iscreated through the process of
experience in the clinical
field. Knowledge results from the combination of grasping
an
dtransforming experience. (Kolb, 1984). The experiential
learning cycle begins with an experience that the
student has had, followed by an opportunity to
reflect on that experience. Then students may
conceptualize and draw conclusions about what
they experienced and observed, leading to future
actions in which the students experiment with
different behaviors. This begins the new cycle as
the students have new experiences based on
their experimentation. These steps
may occur in nearly and order as the learning
progresses. As per the need of the learner, the
concrete components and conceptual
components can be in different order as they may
require a variety of cognitive and affective
behaviors.
