Evaluation

• Through Continuous Internal Assessment & External Sem-end Exams• Weightage ratio is 25:75 respectively• The performance is converted in to

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)


Computation of CGPA

Step – 1: Grade Points (GPs) for the subjects in Part – I and III separately

Step – 2: Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) for 3 parts separately

Step – 3: Over all Percentage of Marks (OPM) for Part –I & III separately

Step – 4: CGPA at the end of the Course.


Step-1: Computation of GPs

MARKS OBTAINED GRADE POINTS (GP)

(GP= Total Marks/10)

Ex: English Paper -I

CIA - 21

ESE- 68

Total: 89 GP = 8.9


Step 2: Computation of SGPA for the Subjects in Part-I

Subject Marks Grade Point(Marks/10)

Credits GP X Credits

English 78 7.8 02 15.6Telugu / Hindi 85 8.5 02 17.0

Total Credits=

04

∑ (GPXCredits)= 32.6SGPA = ∑ (GPXCredits)/ Total credits = 32.6/4 = 8.15 (for 1st semester)Similarly SGPAs are calculated for the remaining 3 sems

PHYSICS 96 9.6 2 19.2

CHEMISTRY 95 9.5 2 19.0

SGPA (166.2/18) 9.23

Step 2 : Computation of SGPA for the Subjects in Part-III (For V&VI Sems)


Step 3:Computation of OPM for Part - I

Average of 4 Sems SGPAs of Languages X 102

Similarly OPM for Part – III is also calculated


Step 4: Calculation of Cumulative Grade Point Average (After 3 years).

Implications

• Feasibility of Physical facilities, Infrastructure & Human Resources• Difference with other colleges• Effect on employment• Approval of UGC/AICTE• Justification


Feasibility of Physical Facilities & Infrastructure

• Running the UG Courses in two shifts – Morning session: II & III years Afternoon session: I year along with PG

Courses (in order to accommodate additional electives)• Adequate infrastructure and learning

resources are procured under CPE Scheme


Feasibility of Human Resources

• The number of Programmes – 16Conventional – 03

Restructured – 13• No Additional Posts are required (Additional work load can be managed

by utilizing services of the Guest faculty as there are more restructured Courses)


CBCS provides:

More academic flexibility

Broad based education

Multidisciplinary curriculum

Job oriented coursesOpportunity to advanced learners to score more credits

Difference with other Colleges


Effect on Employment

(As the Degree Certificate and Marks Memos show not only the Grade Points but also Marks and Class)

• Results in, positive impact on employment

( As System includes Career based, Market oriented and skill enhancing Add-On/ Certificate courses)


Approval of UGC/AICTE

• Autonomy permits adopting CBCS.

(So no special approval of UGC is required )

• Approval from AICTE does not arise.

( as no Technical course is introduced)


Justification• The system is more advantageous to the

student community for progression• Fulfilling the suggestions of UGC• It gives more scope to secure a good grade

with better score in NAAC assessment• No additional Physical facilities, infrastructure,

learning and human resources are required(to our college)


PleaRequested to accord permission to

implement the CBCS in SJGC(A), Kurnool from current academic year i.e. 2013-14 itself.

( as the actual changes in the curriculum come in to effect from the 2nd year

Degree i.e. 2014-15)
