c) The continuous assessments of the theory courses may be conducted in the form of
class tests, assignments, homework, presentation, quiz, viva voce, etc. The course
teacher(s) will evaluate every continuous assessment and share the result with the
students within 2(two) weeks of conducting that continuous assessment.

d) The duration of a class test may be 20-45 minutes, and it will preferably be given
during class hours.

e) If a student does not attend the class test for reasons satisfactory enough to the course
teacher, the course teacher may allow the student one more chance for such assessment
during the term; however, it must be held before the term final examinations. A student
who has been absent for a short period, up to a maximum of three weeks due to illness,
should approach the course teacher(s) or Coordinator(s) for make-up of quizzes/class
tests or assignments, etc., immediately on returning to the classes. Such request should
be supported by a medical certificate endorsed by the Chief Medical Officer of the
University. The medical certificate issued by a registered medical practitioner (with the
registration number shown explicitly on the certificate) and endorsed by the Chief
Medical Officer of the University will also be acceptable only when the student has valid
reasons for his/her absence from the University.

f) The number of Continuous Assessments (CAs) in each course will be as follows:

No. of
Total no. of CA required CAs to be considered for grading
credit(s)
3-4 4 (2 in each section) Section best assessments shall be
1.5 - 2 3 (at least one in each section) averaged for grading
g) If two teachers teach a course, both the teachers will conduct continuous assessments
individually.

h) Answer scripts of the continuous assessment may be shown to the students to identify
their strengths and weaknesses, but those would not be returned to them. The concerned
teacher would submit the evaluated continuous assessment answer scripts and attendance
register to the Head of the Discipline/Program Offering Entity (POE). The final score of
attendance and class participation (out of 10) and continuous assessment (out of 30)
should be displayed on the Discipline’s notice board/ Discipline website/ Course web
page before starting the term final examination.

i) The course teachers must submit the continuous assessment mark sheets to the Chair
of the Examination Committee before the starting of the term final examination.

j) The Term Final Examination will carry 60 marks. There will be two separate answer
scripts for Section A and Section B in the Term Final Examination.

k) When a student repeats a course in which he/she previously obtained an F grade,

he/she will be given just an immediate lower grade that he/she obtained in the repeated
course. However, in case he/she obtains a D grade, that will be maintained, and this
grade will be shown in the transcript. If a student has to repeat a course due to
punishment on him/her, the grade obtained will be maintained. If a student obtains a
grade other than an F in a course, he/she will not be allowed to repeat the course for
grade improvement.
l) If a student obtains an ‘F’ grade in any Core course in any term, this ‘F’ grade will not
be counted for Grade Point Average (GPA) but will be shown on the grade sheet, and in
such case, he/she will have to retake the course for grade improvement.

m) While registering for a retake/re-retake theoretical course, a student must be given an

option to decide whether s/he intends to sit for continuous assessment of the course. If
s/he opts to sit for continuous assessments, his/her fresh mark will be counted to prepare
the result. However, the class attendance and participation marks will be taken from the
previous record.

n) A student has to register for the backlog/retake/re-retake core courses first followed
by the fresh courses offered by the Discipline for the term s/he is going to enroll subject
to the compliance with: (i) completion of prerequisite courses (if any) and (ii) maximum
registration limit of 25 credits per term. However, s/he may not choose to register the
optional backlog/retake/re-retake courses first.

o) In addition, a student may be allowed to register for advance course(s) in a term

subject to: (i) his/her all backlog/retake/re-retake and offered core courses are either
clear or registered, (ii) his/her current terms’ offered all core courses are registered, (iii)
completion of corresponding prerequisite courses (if any), (iv) compliance with a
maximum registration limit of 25 credits per term, and (v) the desired advance courses
are offered by the Discipline/POE in the current term. However, such advance course
registration option will not be applicable for capstone courses like Thesis/Project/
Internship/ Research study/ Monograph/ Portfolio, and so on.

p) A Special Term may be offered for the final year students who have retake/re-retake
course(s). In this case, the maximum credit limit for a student will be 15 credits. This
will be a Non-Taught Term. The Examination of Special Term will start 4 (four) weeks
after publishing 4th-year 2nd Term results and will continue not more than 2 (two) weeks.
The continuous assessment marks (40%) will be carried over from previously registered
theory course(s), and Special Term Final Examination will carry the remaining (60%)
marks. Final Year Term Thesis/Dissertation/Design or Core Sessional(s)
supervisor(s)/course teacher(s) in consultation with the Head may allow the student(s) to
re-submit the Thesis/Dissertation Design or Core Sessional(s) within the Special Term
schedule. However, it must be within the allowed limits of the Special Term credits.

20.1.2 Evaluation of Sessional Courses

a) All sessional courses will be evaluated out of 100 marks, the distribution of which is
given below:
Sl. Items Marks
No.
1 Attendance/Class Participation/Contact with teachers 10
2 Sessional Evaluation/Internal criticism/Observation 60
3 Viva Voce/ Final Jury 30
Total 100
b) Sessional evaluation would be done through a laboratory test, class test, quiz,
assignment, assigned project, report, oral test, performance/behavior of the students, etc.
The course teacher(s) will complete every sessional evaluation and share the result with
the students within 2(two) weeks of conducting that item. Attendance and sessional
evaluation mark sheets (out of 10+60=70) will be displayed on the Discipline’s notice
board/Discipline website/Course web page before starting the term final examination.

c) Viva Voce of each sessional course will usually be conducted by the course
teacher(s). The senior most among the course teachers (if any) will be the Chair of the
viva board. However, such viva voce/final assessment of a sessional course can also be
done through jury board in applicable cases. The jury board will be headed by the Head
of the Discipline or any other senior teacher of the Discipline/POE not below the rank of
Assistant Professor. The Chairman of the viva/jury board may appoint other teacher(s) as
a board member if necessary. A student must attend a sessional evaluation and viva
voce. In case of absence in any component, he/she will get an F grade in that course.

d) The course teachers must submit the continuous assessment mark sheets to the Chair
of the Examination Committee before the starting of the term final examination.

e) A student may register sessional courses as retake/re-retake (if applicable) on the

Discipline Head's written approval. For retake/re-retake sessional courses, no previous
records/marks will be counted.

20.1.3 Evaluation of Capstone Courses

a) The distribution of marks for a Capstone (Thesis/ Monograph/ project paper/ etc.)
course will be as follows:
No. Description Marks
i) Contact/Discussion/Communication with the 10
Supervisor
ii) Evaluation 60
iii) Oral presentation and/or Viva voce 30
Total 100
b) There will be two examiners (including the Supervisor) to examine the Thesis. Each
examiner will evaluate the Thesis separately, and the average marks will be considered
for grading. However, if the marks given by the First and Second Examiners vary 20%
or more, a Third Examiner to be appointed by the concerned Examination Committee
from the outside the University will evaluate the Thesis Monograph/Project paper.
Among these numbers, the average of the closest two numbers will be considered for
grading. However, if the marks given by the Third Examiner happen to stand at the
middle of the marks given by the first two Examiners, the average of the three marks
will be considered for grading.

c) For the thesis/dissertation/final project/other projects like the thesis of the final year
students, there will be a presentation and defense session before the board (Jury/ other
board). If deemed necessary to the concerned Examination Committee, these sessions
might be arranged online. The chairman of the board normally will be the Discipline
Head or any other senior teacher of the Discipline/POE not below the rank of an
Assistant Professor. All supervisors of the thesis/project/ internship/ research study/
monograph/ portfolio courses will be the concerned board members. The chairman may
appoint other teacher(s) as member(s). Every member of the board will evaluate
individually and the final marks will be calculated by averaging all the marks given by
the members.

d) A Discipline might allow some students to register for an Internship program/ Project
paper/ Monograph/ Research study according to the course curriculum of the respective
Discipline. Such an internship program/ Project paper/ Research study course might be
considered as the substitute of Thesis for those students. The evaluation and related
activities of such Internship program/ Project paper/ Research study courses will be
similar to Thesis. Usually, a Thesis will carry double weight in terms of credit compared
to other alternatives like Project/ Internship/ Research study/ Monograph/ Portfolio and
so on.

e) A Discipline might allow splitting the thesis/similar course into more than one term.
‘X’ grade may be assigned for continuing the same course in multiple terms to assign a
complete grade in the last term. Alternatively, multiple courses under thesis/similar
course might be assessed by providing complete grades at the end of each term. The
curriculum of the concerned Discipline/Entity will clarify all such issues.
20.1.4 Evaluation of Viva Voce
a) There might be a grand viva voce in each term. A student will not usually be allowed
to register for more than one course of this type bearing 01 (one) credit in a term. The
concerned Examination Committee of that Term will conduct the viva and assess the
students. The distribution of marks for viva voce will be as follows:
Description Marks
Viva voce 100

20.2 Grades
Grade related issues are reported in section 20.1.

20.3 Grade Point Average (GPA)and Cumulative Grade Point Average

(CGPA)
a) Grade Point Average (GPA) is the weighted average of Grade Points obtained in all
thecourses passed/completed by a student. For example, if a student has
passed/completed five courses in a term having credits of C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5 and
his/her points in these courses are G1, G2, G3, G4, and G5, respectively, then,
GPA = ∑CiGi/∑Ci

b) A Numerical Example: Suppose a student has completed five courses in a term and
obtained the following grades:
COURSE CREDIT GRADE GRADE POINT
A 3 A+ 4.00
B 3 C+ 3.00
C 3 A 3.75
D 2 B 3.25
E 1 B+ 3.50
Then his/her GPA for the term will be computed as follows:
GPA= 3(4.0) + 3(3.0) + 3(3.75) + 2(3.25) + 1(3.5) / (3 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 1) = 3.52

c) A student's performance will be evaluated in terms of three indices- Term Grade Point
Average (TGPA), Yearly Grade Point Average (YGPA), and Cumulative Grade Point
Average (CGPA). The TGPA is computed by dividing the total points earned in a Term
by the number of credits taken in the Term. The YGPA is computed by dividing the total
grade points earned in two Terms in a year by dividing the number of credits taken in
that year. The CGPA is computed by dividing the total grade points accumulated till date
by the total completed credits. Thus a student who has earned 275 grad points in
attempting 100 credits of courses would have an overall CGPA of 2.75.

20.4 Course Withdrawal

a) ‘W’ is the corresponding grade for withdrawn of a course, as mentioned in section
20.1.

b) If any student cannot complete the Term Final Examination due to severe illness or
serious accident, he/she may apply to the Dean through the Head of the concerned
Discipline for total withdrawal from the Term within eight working days after the Term
Final Examination. However, he/she may choose not to withdraw from any sessional
course if the grade obtained in such a course is C or better. A medical certificate
endorsed by the Chief Medical Officer of the University must support the application.
The Dean of the concerned School will decide on such an application and inform the
Academic Council. If a student is allowed to withdraw from a Term, he/she will have to
register as fresh from the Term he/she has withdrawn. However, he/she may be allowed
to register for backlog courses, if offered.

20.5 Incomplete (I) Courses

‘I’ is the corresponding grade for an incomplete course, as mentioned in section 20.1.

20.6 Retake
Retake related issues are reported in sections 20.1.1 and 20.1.2.

20.7 Grade Improvement

Grade improvement related issues are reported in section 20.1.1.

20.8 Dropout/Cancellation of Studentship

a) A first-year first term student’s admission will stand cancelled if he/she fails to
complete course registration by ten working days from the beginning of the classes.

b) A first-year first term student’s admission will stand cancelled if he/she fails to attend
at least 50 percent of classes during ten working days from the beginning of the classes.
However, in case of severe illness/accident this provision may be relaxed subject to
submission of a medical certificate issued by a registered medical practitioner (with the
registration number shown explicitly on the certificate) and endorsed by the Chief
Medical Officer of the University.

c) A student’s studentship will stand cancelled if he/she fails to comply with registration
of minimum credit requirements under article 12.2 of the latest (July 2022) ‘Ordinance
for Undergraduate Program’ of Khulna University. According to that article, a student
must register for at least 15 credits per term and may be allowed to register for up to a
maximum of 25 credits if recommended by his/her Discipline Head. The Discipline/POE
might offer less than, greater than or equal to 25 credits per term as per the approved
curriculum. The student will enjoy the option of choosing backlog, re-take, re-retake,
advance courses (subject to compliance with applicable requirements/restrictions, as
reported in other articles of the Ordinance) in addition to fresh courses to comply with
the restriction of maximum 25 credits per term. If any student fails to register, in any
way, for minimum credits (15 credits), his/her studentship at the University will stand
canceled. This minimum 15-credit registration limit may be relaxed if: (i) the student
requires less than 15-credit to complete his/her graduation, or (ii) the sum of applicable
(for the student) credits offered by the Discipline is less than 15-credit in the
corresponding term for any valid reason.

d) A student’s studentship will stand cancelled if he/she fails to earn minimum credits
under article 12.5.2 of the latest (July 2022) ‘Ordinance for Undergraduate Program’ of
Khulna University. According to that article, when a student is going to register for
his/her courses in the 3rd year 2nd term, his/her earned credits up to 2nd year 2nd term must
be at least 36. Otherwise, his/her studentship at the University will stand canceled.
