14. Result Computation (Award of Grade and Grade Point Average)
(a) On the basis of percentage of obtained marks the process of result computation will be as
follows, and followings will be awarded:
For every subject: Grade and Score Point
For every semester: Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) up to a precision of two digits
after the decimal.
For every semester: Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) up to the current semester, up
to a precision of two digits after the decimal.

Step1: For each subject the percentage of obtained marks will be converted into Grade as per Table I.
Table I: Percentage of Obtained Marks to Grade Conversion
Percentage of Percentage of
Grade
Obtained Marks in Obtained Marks in
Theory Subjects Practical Subjects
85≤per 85≤per O
70≤per<85 70≤per<85 A+
60≤per<70 60≤per<70 A
55≤per<60 55≤per<60 B+
50≤per<55 50≤per<55 B
45≤per<50 NA C
35≤per<45 NA P
per<35 per<50 F
Absent Absent AB

Step 2: For each subject convert the Grade to Score Point as per Table II.

Table II : Grade to Score

Grade Score
O 10
A+ 9
A 8
B+ 7
B 6
C 5
P 4
F 0
AB 0

Step3: Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) of kth semester is:

Where Pi is Score Points in ith subject, Ci is Credits of ith subject, and n is total number of subjects in
current kth semester

8
 Step4: Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of kth semester is

Where Sj is SGPA of jth semester, Cj is total Credits in jth semester, and m is total number of semesters
upto current kth semester.

(b) For determining merit position of the candidates at the final year level the SGPA obtained by
them in III semester to VIII semester shall only be considered, termed as MGPA (Merit Grade
Point Average). MGPA shall be calculated as below:

Where Si is SGPA of ith semester, Ci is total Credits in ith semester.

(c) In case a candidate passes any subject in 2nd attempt or later one, the grade awarded shall not
be higher than B+ in that subject.
(d) Awarded SGPA and CGPA shall be recalculated if a candidate passes a subject or all subjects
of any semester in 2nd or later attempt.
(e) To calculate SGPA and CGPA, obtained marks for all subjects shall be considered irrespective
of whether it is F grade (Failed or Absent) or any other grade.

15. Medium of Instruction and Examination:

The medium of Instructions and Examination in all Engineering & Architecture Examinations of
Theory/Practical and Sessional shall continue to be English as hitherto.

16. Make-up Examination for Final B.Arch.(X Sem.)

interval of time after declaration of the result of the Main Examination. Candidate,
who fail or are unable to appear at this Examination, may appear in the immediate
subsequent Main Examination.

(b) Candidates who have failed in the Final B.Arch. Examination but have passed in seminar,
project, practical training and tour, and obtained SGPA 5.00 or above in corresponding
semester, shall be exempted from re-examination in project, practical training and tour and
shall be required to pass the examination in rest of the subjects only.
(c) A candidate who passes in a limited number of Theory papers/Practical and Sessional /Project
in X Semester Examination shall be awarded division/CGPA with a mention of “Pass in more than one
attempt” on the marksheet with asterisks on the respective Theory papers/ Practical and
Sessional/Project.

Design studio emphasize on explaining and understanding Architecture primarily through

the mode of making. Dissertation offers an opportunity to look at architecture, history and
design primarily through textual. However, like design, dissertation involves process of
observation, reflection and abstraction. Students are encouraged to choose any topic of their
interest. They may range from analyzing the works of an architect, history, typological
changes, writing, design process and many more. The dissertation should state its objectives,
followed by exhaustive documentation and arguments. The emphasis however, could vary
according to the topic. The dissertation proposal in about 1500 words stating the topic issues
to be explored and the scope must be submitted. After approval the work would be
periodically reviewed. A well written report of a minimum 15,000 words must be submitted
in the prescribed format, if any provided by the University. The student would subsequently
make a presentation of his/her work and defend them.
