students
(b) The second digit will be reserved for departmental use for such things as to identif dif€rent
areas within a departm(nt
(c) The third digit will b€ odd for theoretical, even for laboratory courses
(d) The course title.
The system is illustrated by the following example.

where, /, is the number of corrses offered during the semester, C, is the number of credits allotted to
ith course and G is the grade ,oint eamed for that course.
13.3 The Cumulative Grade Poirrt Average (CGPA) gives the cumulative performance of the students
fiom the l" semester up to 8'b semester to which it refers, and will be calculated as follows:

ZCoc,
CGPA-

where, nr is the total number ofcourses offered, C1 is the number ofcredits allotted to the tth course
and G1 is the grade point eamt:d for that course.
13.4 Conversion of CGPA to per,:entrge of Marks: The following formulae for conversion of CGPA to
percentage of Marks are reconrmended.
Y:79 + 84 (x 3.75); 3.75<x 4.00

Y= 44 20 (x - 2); 2.25 3.75 x

13.5 A Cumulative Grade Point Averaie (CGPA) shall be calculated at the end of 8'h semester and to be
communicated to the student! along with the GPAs. The individual grades of courses obtained by
them for an individual semestr:r will be communicated at the end ofthe semester by the Chairman of
the Examination Committee.
13.6 In GpA or CGPA calculation, if either of them com€s up with fractional part and non-zero value
appears in the 3d and/or +,n a S,(.) after the decimal poini, the 2"d digit should be round up to next
hiitrer aigit. Illustration: (i) srrppose, a total of 32 credits are offered in a class and a student eams
total point secured (TPS) of 1 13 in that class, then hisiher GPA will be 3.54 while the precise value is
3.53125, (ii) suppose, a total o'26 credits are offered in a class and a student eams total point secured
(TPS) of 84 in that class, then hi*/her GPA will be 3.24 while the precise value is 3.230769..., (iii)
suppose, a total of 160 credits are offered in a 4-1ear program and a student eams total point secured
(TPS) of 585 in that program, then his/her CGPA will be 3.66 while the precise value is 3.65625.

10.4 The courses may be chosen from sets of choices to be determined by the Academic
Committee of the concerned Department, if applicable.

10.5 For project group, 35% of the marks allotted shall be awarded on the basis of the class
performance during the project (to be evaluated by the supervisor), 35%o of the project
marks shall be awarded on the basis of viva-voce performance to be conducted by the
examination committee at the final examination, and the rest 30% of the project marks on
the basis of performance / result / display or any other way to be determined and evaluated
by the examination committee.

10.6 For thesis group, 30% of the thesis marks shall be awarded on the basis of viva-voce
examination to be conducted by the concerned examination committee at the final
examination and the rest 70% ofthe thesis marks will be awarded by averaging marks given
by two external examiners. If the difference of marks given by two external examiners is
more than l5% then the thesis will have to be examined by the third external examiner. The
average ofthe closest two marks will be taken. Examination script will be in English.

2. List of Courses
The list ofcourses consists of different wings ofthe Computer Science and Engineering. The
academic committee of the department shall choose different cowses from the list of courses
to offer in different semesters. During course offering in a semester, the course code will be
{tnalized for respective semesters based on the following principle.

Principle for Course Code: The course code format is CSE MXNN where 'CSE' stands for
name of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, 'M' stands for Master, 'X'
stands for semester, e.g., 'X' is ' I ' for first semester, '2' for second semester and '3' for
third semester, and 'NN' stands for course identification number, it has range from 00 to 99.
Suppose course code "CSE MX3 l " with course title "Advanced Database Systems" is
selected to offer in the fnst semester, then the course code of the course title "Advanced
Database Systems" shall be "CSE M I 3 1". The course format is shown in below.

l1 The tabulators will have to veri$ separately whether mark is assigned to each answer, all the
marks are correctly entered and added up or have been left unmarked or answered excess. If any
discriminancies arise it should be reported to the Chairman of the Examination Committee.
The tabulators will prepare course-wise list of scripts where marks of lst and 2nd examiners vary
by more than 15, 12, 8 and 4 marks out of 100, 75, 50 and 25 marks, respectively and shall report
to the Chairman of the Examination Committee for third examination of the answer scripts. Each
tabulator should give his/her average marks in rormd figure and not in fractions.

examiner who evaluated partially will not be considered and the average of the marks of the rest
two examiners shall be awarded-
Tabulators will individually post the marks of each candidate and finalize all dre results and hand
