1. Preamble: The University Grants Commission (UGC) has initiated several measures to bring
equity, efficiency and excellence in the Higher Education system of country. The academic
reforms recommended by the UGC in the recent past have led to overall improvement in the
Higher Education System. However, due to a lot of diversity in the system of Higher Education,
there are multiple approaches followed by the Universities towards examination, evaluation
and grading system. The ‘Grading System’ is considered to be better than the conventional
‘marks system’ and hence it has been followed in the top institutions of India and abroad. So, it
is desirable to introduce uniform grading system in the University. This will facilitate students’
mobility across Institutions, within and across countries, and also enable potential employers to
access the performance of students. To bring the desired uniformity in Grading System and in
method of Computing the cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) based on the performance
of the students in the examinations, the UGC has formulated guidelines. University Grants
Commission has come up with the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) programme where
students can not only learn core subjects but also explore additional avenues of learning
beyond the core subjects for holistic development of an individual.
The Choice Based Credit System (CBCS), an internationally acknowledged system, have
following aims: (i) to make the course curriculum learner centric, (ii) to encourage
interdisciplinary without disturbing the domain centric knowledge, (iii) to promote mobility of
the students and help in optimizing learning, (iv) to allow autonomy to the teachers to built in
accountability, (v) continuous evaluation of students to help in optimizing learning, (vi) to
introduce transparency in the evaluation systems, (vii) to improve employability of students.
The proposed curriculum of BBMKU endeavours to empower the students and help them in
their pursuit to achieve overall excellence. The implementation of CBCS will also facilitate
benchmarking of courses in India with leading international academic practice. The CBCS
curriculum has been envisaged to give flexibility to learners to learn subjects of their choice at
their own pace. In addition to dedicated focus on a discipline through core papers, whether an
Honours or General programme, the elective papers which will give students the freedom to
choose the allied/applied/broad areas of their discipline and also the areas of other discipline of
their interest, have been added. The course will be evaluated by marking system along with the
grading system.

2. Aims and Objectives: In accordance with the guidelines issued by the University Grants
Commission, this regulation provides procedure of admission, basic frame work of curriculum,
examination, evaluation, and award of M.A./M.Sc./M.Com degrees to students opting for Full
Time Two Years Post Graduation Course under Choice Based Credit System under Semester
mode of teaching in Binod Bihari Mahto Koyalanchal University, Dhanbad.

3. Short Title, Extent & commencement

(a) This regulation shall be known as ‘Two Years (Four-Semester) Post Graduation Course
Regulation 2020.
(b) Extent: The regulation shall extend to the territorial jurisdiction of the University and the
teaching of the courses for these degrees shall be carried out through the University
Departments and PG Constituent Colleges within its jurisdiction, having affiliation in the
concerned subject(s).
(c) This shall come into force from the academic session 2020.

4. Definition:
(a) ‘Course’ means a subject.
(b) ‘Project/Dissertation’: ‘Project’ means work undertaken to acquire special/advanced
knowledge in a particular field under the supervision of a teacher; the report of the details
of the project is ‘Dissertation’.
(c) ‘Credit’: The term ‘credit’ refers to the weightage given to a course, usually in terms of the
number of instructional hours per week assigned to it. It is a fixed teaching hour course.
‘Credit Hours’ means hours of teaching. Contact Hour (CH) is in correspondence to the
Credit value. For example, a theory paper having 4 Credits shall have a minimum of 4
Contact Hours in a week. For Practical classes and Field Work every Two Hours shall make
1(one) Contact Hour. One Contact Hour shall normally be of 60 minutes duration.
 One credit = 15 Hours of teaching i.e., 15 Credit Hours
 One credit = 30 Hours of Practical work
Illustration: in 15 working weeks in a Semester, a paper having 4 Credits shall have a total of
15x4 = 60 CH.
Credit Point (P): It is the value obtained by multiplying the grade point by the credit. (P = G
x C)
(d) ‘Week’ means a 6 days working week consisting of minimum 30 working hours.
(e) ‘Academic Year’ means program session from July to June divided into two Semesters.
(f) ‘Semester’ means six months teaching and evaluation as part of the total program. A
Semester normally comprises 15 teaching weeks and 5 weeks for the conduct of
examinations and evaluation.
An academic year comprising 180 working days in the least is divided into two
Semesters, each Semester having at least 90 working days. With six working days in a week
this would mean that each Semester will have 90 / 6 = 15 teaching/ working weeks.
Considering that each teaching day has 5 teaching/ working hours, a teaching week would
have 5 x 6 = 30 working /teaching hours and each Semester will have 30 x 15 = 450 teaching
hours available for each student.

21. Computation of SGPA and CGPA

21.1 Calculation of Semester Grade Point (SGPA)
a) The SGPA is the ratio of sum of the product of the number of credits with the grade points
scored by a student in all the courses taken by a student and the sum of the number of
credits of all the courses undergone by a student, i.e.
SGPA (Si) = ∑(Ci x Gi) / ∑Ci
where Ci is the number of credits of the ith course and Gi is the grade point scored by the
student in the ith course.
b) The CGPA is also calculated in the same manner taking into account all the courses
undergone by a student over all the Semesters of a programme i.e.
CGPA = ∑(Ci x Si) / ∑ Ci

BBMKU/PG Regulations Page 33

 Binod Bihari Mahto Koyalanchal University, Dhanbad 2020

where Sj is the SGPA of the ith Semester and Cj is the total number of credits in that
Semester.
c) The SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to 2 decimal points and reported in the transcript.
d) Illustration of Computation of SGPA and CGPA and Format for Transcripts
Table-16
Illustration for SGPA Calculation
Course Credit Grade Letter Grade Point Credit Point
Course 1 5 A 8 5×8 = 40
Course 2 5 B+ 7 5×7 = 35
Course 3 5 B 6 5×6 = 30
Course 4 5 O 10 5×10 = 50
20 = 155
Thus, SGPA = 155/20 = 7.75
Table-17
Illustration for CGPA Calculation
Semester-I Semester-II Semester-III Semester-IV
Credit: 20 Credit: 20 Credit: 20 Credit: 20
SGPA: 6.9 SGPA: 7.8 SGPA: 5.6 SGPA: 6.0

20  6.9  20  7.8  20  5.6  20  6.0 526

Thus, CGPA =   6.57

21.2 Grace Rule: Tabulators shall award grace marks as per the following guidelines:
(1) Grace marks will be awarded in theory papers only.
(2) A maximum of 5 marks; only in one paper, only once in complete academic cycle;
will be awarded as grace marks. Grace marks will be awarded in the condition of
requirement for the change of status of result viz: Not-promoted to Promoted & for
Promoted to Pass.
(3) Grace Mark will not be awarded for making up shortfall in minimum CGPA or
improving the grade.
22. Announcement of Results: The University shall announce results on the recommendation of
the concerned Head of the Department institution- or college-wise under following
classification:
22.1 A candidate shall be declared to have passed the PG program if he/she secures at least an
aggregate CGPA of 4.0.
22.2 Declaration of Classes on the Basis of CGPA grade shall be announced. (Table-15)

Note: The SGPA and CGPA shall be computed up to 2 places of decimals (truncated at the
