Grading Policy
Major (40%), Minor (30%), Quiz (20%), Tutorial (10%).
3 quizzes (centrally) will be conducted and the best 2 will be considered for grading. Quiz dates: 27-11-2022, 07-01-2023, and 29-01-2023
There will be no re-quiz.
Re-minor will be held towards the end of the semester with the complete syllabus.
In case, a student fails to keep 75% attendance, one grade will be reduced.
For getting an 'E' grade, 75% attendance is mandatory.
