Appendix-D

The Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act, 2012 has come into effect from the 29th June 2012. Clause (a) of the Section 10 of the said Act, amending Section 38 of the principal Act Institutes of Technology Act, 1961, as amended from time to time, and inserting clause (m), says that until the first Statutes and the Ordinances in relation to the Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi are made under the said Act, the Statutes and Ordinances as are applicable to the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur immediately before the commencement of the Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act, 2012, shall apply to the Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi with the necessary modifications and adaptations in so far as they are not inconsistent with the provisions of the said Act. Further, the newly inserted sub-clause (n) in Section 38 of the Principal Act says that notwithstanding anything contained in the Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act, 2012, any student who joined classes of the Indian Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University on or after the commencement of 2006-2007 academic session or completed the courses on or after 2009-2010 academic session shall for the purpose of clause (b) of sub-section (1) of section 6, be deemed to have pursued a course of study in the Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi provided that such student has not already been awarded degree or diploma for the same course of study.

2. Students and research scholars admitted prior to the academic session 2012-13 in the Departments of erstwhile Faculty of Engineering and Technology of the Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University were admitted and academically administered as per the Ordinances governing the UGD/IDD/IMD, M.Tech./M.Pharm. and the Ph.D. ordinances of the Banaras Hindu University. As there are major differences in the corresponding Ordinances of the IITK, which are now applicable on IIT (BHU), it would be legally correct if the said lot of students are continued to be governed by the set of Ordinances which were applicable on them at the time of their admission. However, consequent upon the said act coming into force, the said Ordinances are technically not applicable as such and accordingly there is a need of their adoption by the IIT (BHU), after appropriate customization and adaptation, through a Transitory Ordinance. Accordingly, following transitory ordinance is proposed:

Grading of Academic Performance Award of Grades Based on Absolute Marks System Award of grades to a student based on absolute marks secured by him/her out of 100 shall be made as follows: Academic Performance Marks Range (out of 100) Grade Grade Point Outstanding 100-90 S 10 Excellent 89-80 A 09 Very Good 79-70 B 08 Good 69-60 C 07 Fair 59-50 D 06 Satisfactory 49-40 E 05 Failed < 40 F 00 Incomplete ----- I 00 A student may be awarded the I (Incomplete) grade in a course if he/she has missed, for a genuine reason, a minor part of the course requirement but has done satisfactorily in all other parts. An I grade is not awarded simply because a student has failed to appear in examination(s). An I grade is converted by the Instructor-in-Charge into an appropriate letter grade after the student completes the requirements of the Course at an appropriate time in subsequent semesters. 10. Computation of the Semester Performance Index (SPI) and Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) The SPI is an indicator of the overall academic performance of a student in all the courses he/she has registered during a given semester. It is computed as follows: If the grades awarded to a student are G1, G2 etc in courses with corresponding credits C1, C2 etc, the SPI is given by

SPI = (C1G1 + C2 G2 + …) / (C1 + C2 + …)

The CPI indicates the overall academic performance of a student in all the courses registered up to and including the latest completed semester/summer term. It is computed in the same manner as the SPI, considering all the courses (say, n), and is given by

CPI = ∑ C�G�

��

∑ C��

Whenever a student is permitted to repeat or substitute a course, the new letter grade replaces the old letter grade in the computation of the CPI, but, both the grades appear on his/her Grade Report.

10. Academic Performance Requirements:

A) Computation of the Semester Performance Index (SPI) and Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) The SPI is an indicator of the overall academic performance of a student in all the courses he/she has registered during a given semester. It is computed as follows: If the grades awarded to a student are G1, G2 etc in courses with corresponding credits C1, C2 etc, the SPI is given by

SPI = (C1G1 + C2 G2 + …) / (C1 + C2 + …)


CPI = ∑ C�G�

��

∑ C��

Whenever a student is permitted to repeat or substitute a course, the new letter grade replaces the old letter grade in the computation of the CPI, but, both the grades appear on his/her Grade Report. B) The minimum CPI requirement for continuing in the programme or for graduation is 7 .0

C) In the first semester in which the student registers, the minimum SPI may be relaxed to 6.0 and the student may be allowed to continue in the following semester on the recommendations of the DPGC and with the approval of the SPGC.

D) If a Ph.D. student secures a CPI between 6.5 and 7.0, he/she may be allowed to continue in the following semester on the recommendation of the DPGC and with the approval of the SPGC.

E) A student will normally not be allowed to continue in the Ph.D. programme if

i) his/her CPI is below 6.5 (below 6.0 in the case of first semester student).

ii) his/her CPI is below 7.0 in two consecutive semesters (however, SPGC may consider continuation as per provisions of 10.D).

iii) he/she obtains two Fs in different courses of the same semester or two Fs in the same course over different semesters.

11. Comprehensive Examination of Ph.D. Students: A) Students registered in the Ph.D. programme must pass a comprehensive examination designed to

test the overall comprehension of the student in the various subjects. A student can appear in the comprehensive examination only after he/she has completed the course requirements and satisfied the minimum specified CPI requirement.

B) Students admitted to the 2012-13 Session, with B.Tech., M.Sc., M.A. or M.Phil. degrees or part-

time students with M.Tech. or equivalent degrees may appear in the comprehensive examination not before two semesters, but must pass it before the end of the fifth semester after their first registration. The above time limits are exclusive of the period of sanctioned leave, if any.

Students admitted with M.Tech. or equivalent degrees may appear in the comprehensive examination earliest at the end of the first semester, but must pass it before the end of the fourth semester after their first registration. The above time limits are exclusive of the period of sanctioned leave, if any.

This sub-clause does not override the minimum residency requirement. C) The examination will be in oral form but may be supplemented with a written part.

D) The comprehensive examination board will consist of at least three but not more than five faculty members of the student's department/Inter Disciplinary Programme (IDP) plus one faculty member from outside the department/IDP (discipline, in the case of Humanities & Social Sciences). There may be two faculty members from outside the department/IDP (discipline, in the case of Humanities & Social Sciences) in case thesis supervisor is from outside the department/IDP (discipline, in the case of Humanities & Social Sciences). Constitution of the board will be proposed by the DPGC in consultation with the Head of the Department/Coordinator and the thesis supervisor, if already assigned, and will be forwarded to the Chairperson, SPGC who will send it to the Chairman, Senate for approval. The thesis supervisor of the student, if already assigned, will be the convener of the board. In case no thesis supervisor is assigned, the Convener, DPGC will be the convener of the board.

E) A student will be considered to have passed the comprehensive examination if all except at the

most one member of the board are satisfied with student's performance in the examination. The report of the comprehensive examination must be sent to the Chairperson, SPGC within 8 weeks of the date of approval of the board.

F) When a student has not passed the comprehensive examination in his/her first attempt, a second

comprehensive examination will be conducted by the same board that was constituted earlier unless otherwise approved by the Chairman, Senate on the recommendation of the DPGC and the SPGC. A student will not be allowed to appear in the comprehensive examination more than twice. All such cases shall be brought to the notice of the Senate.
