***Indicates a Pass/Fail course. These are non-graded courses and are assessed as 'Satisfactory' or
'Unsatisfactory'. No letter grade will be assigned for these courses. These courses may be either of "theory" type
or "practical." The minimum pass mark for the award of satisfactory (S) grade is 40. A score less than 40 will lead
to an unsatisfactory (U) grade. These courses shall not be a part of SGPA/CGPA calculations. Students are
required to get an S grade for graduation.
A suggested semester plan of study is available in Annexure I.
