Academic performance in a given course is based on continuous assessment. There are two major examinations, which are written: mid-semester examination and the final examination. In between there are sets of quizzes, in-class evaluation, assignments, case studies, etc. Laboratory classes also follow the same evaluation but have practical examinations instead of the written examinations. Each course has a certain number of credit hours. A letter grade with a specified number of grade points will be given to students. A minimum grade point average (GPA) is to be maintained or satisfactory progress. Also, the minimum number of units earned must be acquired and a CGPA of 2.50 (effective from 17th Convocation held in February, 2017) or better in order to qualify for graduation. Letter grades indicating the quality of coursework completed with their corresponding grade points are shown below.
