4.8 Performance Evaluation System

4.8.1 Grading System
The total performance of a student in a given course is based on a scheme of continuous
assessment, for theory courses this continuous assessment is made through a set of quizzes, class
evaluation, class participation, homework assignment and a term final examination. The
assessments for laboratory courses are made by evaluating performance of the student at work
during the class, viva-voce during laboratory hours and quizzes. Besides that, at the end there will
be a final lab test. Each course has a certain number of credits, which describes its corresponding
weight. A student's Performance is measured by the number of credits completed satisfactorily and
by the weighted average of the grade points earned. A minimum grade point average (GPA) is
essential for satisfactory progress. A minimum number of earned credits also have to be acquired in
order to qualify for the degree. Letter grades and corresponding grade points are given as follows:
Numerical Markings
80% and above
75% to below 80%
70% to below 75%
65% to below 70%
60% to below 65%

4.8.3 Computation of CGPA
Grade Point Average (GPA) is the weighted average of the grade points obtained of all the courses
passed/completed by a student. For example, if a student passes/completes n courses in a term
having credits of 1, 2, ....,Cn and his grade points in these courses are G1, G2,Gn respectively,
then

The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is the weighted average of the GPA obtained in all the
terms passed/completed by a student. For example, if a student passes/ completes n terms having
total credits of TC1, TC2, ... , TCn and his GPA in these terms are GPA1, GPA2, ... , GPAn,
respectively then
CGPA =

4.9 Incomplete Grades

A student will be assigned Incomplete grade for incomplete course work, provided he/she is
permitted by Academic Committee of FST. This will be recorded as I with an alternative grade
based on the work completed at that point in time. The alternative grade will come into effect if
the student fails to complete the course requirement within 4 weeks from the publication of the
provisional results in a semester.
4.10 Repeating/Retaking Course(s)

The repeating/retaking course(s) will be guided by the following rules:
1)
A student earning an F grade in any course shall be required to improve the grade
by retaking the course offered in the subsequent semester(s), since achieving a passing
grade in all courses individually is a degree requirement.
2)
A student earning a "A-" (A minus) grade or below may also elect to improve the
grade by repeating a course, when offered in the subsequent semester(s). The following
rules will apply for in this regard:
a)
In order to repeat a course, the student must apply to the Dean of the
Faculty at least 4 (four) weeks before the commencement of a semester. A student
desiring to repeat a course in final semester, shall have to apply to the Dean to
withhold his/her graduation too.
b)
The grade earned on the repeated course will be shown in the transcript by
R symbol meaning Repeat. The grade earned on such course(s) would be used
for computing the final CGPA.
c)
A course can be repeated only once. However, repeating a course is not
allowed after the graduation.
d)
In the case of students failure to improve his/her course grade at the course
improvement examination, the previous grade shall remain valid.
4.11 Students Grievance Procedure
33
The Controller of Examination reserves the right to arrange re-scrutiny of a students script or reevaluation of grading, if a student submits a grievance application to Controller of Examination
within one week of publication of provisional results.
4.12 Rules for Withdrawal/ Dismissal

4.12.1 Probation and Withdrawal for Poor Performance
As a general rule a student will have to maintain a CGPA of 2.50 individually for each semester. In
case a student fails to maintain a CGPA of 2.50 at the end of a semester, but obtains a CGPA 2.00
or more, will be placed on probation. If a student placed on probation, fails to raise the CGPA to
2.50 in the immediate next semester, he/she may be withdrawn from the program.
4.12.2 Withdrawal on Own Accord

4.12.2.1 Temporary Withdrawal
A student may be allowed a temporary withdrawal on account of unsatisfactory
performance or for any other valid reasons; provided he/she has completed at least one
semester, maintaining a CGPA of 2.80 at the time of application and it is approved by the
Academic Council. A student, when taking temporary withdrawal, will have to complete the
program within valid registration period (i.e. 6 years) from the date of initial registration.
4.12.2.2 Permanent Withdrawal
A student may apply for a permanent withdrawal due to poor academic performance or for
any other valid reason, provided it is approved by the Academic Council. The admission
and registration of the student will be cancelled, when he/she is allowed a permanent
withdrawal. When a student is permanently withdrawn, he/she will require a fresh
admission and fresh registration for re-entry into the program like any other new
candidate.
4.12.3 Dismissal on Disciplinary Ground

4.12.3.1 Unfair means
Adoption of unfair means may result in the dismissal of a student from the program
and expulsion from the university Course to the decision of the BUP disciplinary
committee. Following would be considered as unfair means adopted during
Examinations and other contexts:
(a)
Communicating with fellow students for obtaining help in the
examination.
(b)
Copying from another students script/paper/report.
(c)
Copying from desk or palm of a hand or from other incrimination
documents.
(d)
Possession of any incriminating document whether used or not.
4.12.3.2 Expulsion
34
The term Expulsion means expulsion from the university on disciplinary ground. A
student, if expelled, will never be allowed to re-enter the course or similar
programs in BUP and be subjected to other terms and conditions as set by the
authority while approving the expulsion order.
4.12.3.3 Other Breach of Discipline
Academic council may dismiss any student on disciplinary ground if any form of
indiscipline or unruly behavior is observed in him/ her which may disrupt the
academic environment or program or is considered detrimental to BUPs image.
Discipline Committee will process the matter.
4.13 Class Attendance
1. Students are responsible to attend classes regularly and contrary to this rule will be viewed
seriously. Absence in more than 25% classes without permission and without valid reason in
any course will disqualify a student to appear semester final examination of the same. A
student must obtain permission from his/her course teacher for any kind of absence on valid
reason and must inform the program office too. The marks distribution for attendance is given
below:

4.14 Discipline and Code of Conduct
Adherence to strict discipline is considered to be a core concept of building future leaders at

FST. The students must abide by the rules, regulations and code of conduct of the university.
Students are forbidden either to be a member of or to organize students organization, club,
society etc. other than those set up by the University authority. They must maintain a quiet
and congenial atmosphere in the academic building particularly adjacent to the classroom,
35
library, faculty rooms etc. The students will not be allowed to enter the classroom, if he/she is
in contrary to the following rules:
Arriving late in the class

Not wearing appropriate dress/attire as per the dress code
The Students' Discipline Rules are available in BUP website.
4.15 Dress Code

The way a student dress up in the classroom determines how people perceive him or her as a
professional/executive. It is assumed that the ICT students understand about the professional
attire. However, the authority has the right to implement some kind of dress code for its students
particularly the ICT students as classroom attire. The BUP prefers that its students will wear
appropriate executive dress during classroom/academic activities. The dress code for BUP students,
which is effective from January 2015, is given below:
