Students (as applicable school wise) have been assigned faculty mentors whose role is to help assimilate the NMIMS
culture, facilitate intelligent choice making regarding selection of courses, and help identify resources needed by all
students. Do meet your faculty mentor regularly as per their convenience and availability.
15.2 Psychologist and a Counsellor:

A counsellor is a non-judgmental friend who understands, ensures privacy and confidentiality and counsels you by
giving choices so that you make the right decision. Counselling is a realistic, structured, and research-based therapy.
Managing emotions is vital to ensure all-rounded progress in life. We need to break the old walls of myths and
misconceptions to learn something new. Visiting a counsellor helps us to relearn more helpful, progressive, reality-
based thinking.
Personal counselling is essential at every step in life, even at the corporate level. What we think about situations affects
our subconscious mind and interferes with our present-day life.
As normal human beings at any given time in life, we could go through challenging times and have no one to share or
guide us. We often do not share our issues with family or friends due to the fear of upsetting them. We worry that perhaps
they may not understand or could become judgmental. At such times, we recommend Personal Counselling.
i. “I cannot concentrate or focus nor can I sleep, at times, I get so scared that I go blank in my exams!”
ii. “Since the time he left me, I cannot put my attention to anything I will not be able to live anymore………can’t
bear it if she is not in my life!”
iii. “I have lost my confidence I feel worthless /hopeless; no one loves me. I don’t want to live anymore”
iv. “I feel nobody understands what I am going through...” (People become judgemental instead of understanding
and supporting)
v. “I do not know whom to share my feelings with? Where do I seek help? Who will be able to help me?
Have you had any of these repetitive thoughts or faced a rejection that you cannot cope with?
Have you reacted very angrily first and then later realised that reacting to the event was not needed and in the process,
you harmed the relations you had with your friends and family? Do you not know what went wrong then? Do you not
understand what triggered you?
Just as we would treat a sprain with some ointment, we try to heal our emotional pain independently. When the sprain is
not healing, we visit the doctor, and similarly, one sees the counsellor sometimes when we are unable to clear our
emotional challenges. The counsellor needs to check how deep your wound is, and usually, you are helped by putting a
first aid protection (counseling) through therapeutic counseling. Sometimes the injury may have been too deep /chronic,
or your trauma could also need psychiatric intervention and give appropriate help.
We may be unaware of our behaviour’s implications on others, but it eventually could affect our relations in daily life at
home, in class, or at work. When the past emotional situations are not dealt with therapeutically, we could develop
unhealthy negative thoughts and feelings that we need to be aware of. They could again lead to complications and affect
our performance, decision making, logical thinking, studies, relationships and career. This continued stress can gradually
affect our body and physiological health causing hypertension, respiratory ailments, gastrointestinal disturbances,
migraine and tension headaches, pelvic pain, impotence, frigidity, dermatitis and ulcers.
The biggest myth is that being emotional is to be weak, so often, we push all our emotional issues under the blanket and
then take up unhealthy habits like smoking, drinking, and substance abuse to avoid sleepless nights. We hope to feel
better, which lasts only for short term. On the other hand, creating long term damage may lead to unhealthy dependency.
NMIMS wants to ensure holistic development of the students. Therefore have appointed a team of psychologists and a
counsellor.

true with management education. SBM is a place where the faculty believes in and focuses on experiential learning with the
greater use of technological innovations. We are hugely proud of the efforts they put in to create excitement in learning. Our
courses are based on their scholarly pursuit in a number of areas from marketing strategies, financial analytics and financial micro-

communication, management information systems, and operations management. The administrative staff will also guide you in
how to make the most optimum use of your time here in SBM through regular updates, announcements and communiques to keep
you abreast of crucial deadlines, submissions, schedules and events.
The academic ecosystem works best in an environment where there is clarity and transparency in rules and regulations. To
facilitate your journey with us, and to ensure that there is a common reference point for all processes, rules and regulations, we
have compiled the “Students Resource Book” which serves as a manual of instructions. We exhort you to go through it carefully

Administration. It is the flagship programme of the School of Business Management, NMIMS Deemed-to-be University, Mumbai
with a legacy of over 35 years. Many of our alumni occupy significant leadership positions in the corporate hierarchy while some

II. Annual seminars, CEO series of guest lectures, business simulation games, personal growth lab, psychological profiling,
personality development workshops (MBTI- Myers Briggs Type Indicator), and the like create an all-round holistic development
of the student.
To build the bridge between theory and practice, students are required to spend six to eight weeks on a summer project between
the first and the second year of the full-time MBA programme. The pedagogical approach used here is participant-centred, case-
based learning which is supplemented with lectures, problem-solving, in-class and out-of-class group activities, discussions, and
simulations. The programme seeks to train students to become decision-makers with social sensitivity.

program offers a unique blend of experiential learning by integrating on-field experience throughout the six terms wherein the
students along with their academic curricula work on live projects with organizations on two days of the week.

1.11 Candidates who resort to unfair means due to which are required to appear at re-examination (as penalty) will get C+
or actual grade in the Term End Examination, whichever is lower in the re-examination.
1.12 The system of assigning the Grades is based on relative performance of students in the batch. The relative grading
system will be followed. The distribution of grades based on relative grading system ensures that the students are
distributed across grades. The letter grades for a course would be calculated by software/ computer system on the basis
of the Passing Criteria
1.13 Attendance Norms
SBM students are responsible for and are required to maintain 100% attendance across courses in their programme.
Please refer Part I for more details.
2 Summer Internship:
2.1 Faculty may assign projects to students in their course.
2.2 Summer Internship applies only to Full Time MBA students. Final Projects/capstone projects and Class Projects apply
to all course/s programs and faculty concerned can assign project work to be undertaken.
2.3 Students are required to submit their final project report as per the dates (last date for submissions etc.) announced.
Dean’s approval will be required to submit the project report after deadlines.
2.4 Students are required to take six-eight weeks of summer training in any company as per dates announced intimated by
the placement department -this is a compulsory component of the program.
2.5 Students are advised to be proactive and explore for options for summer placement with their resources as well in
addition to the summer placement opportunities facilitated by SBM NMIMS Placement Department. The SBM
NMIMS placement cell makes all the efforts possible to provide Summer Internship opportunities to as many students

.
as possible.
2.6 The Summer Internship is always requiring submission of a Summer Project Report to the SBM within indicated
deadlines. This submission is a part to the programme requirements. Summer Internship is a non-credit compulsory
course, as an essential partial fulfilment of the requirements for award of MBA degree.
2.7 This project is subject to a review by the company guide assigned. It is the student’s responsibility to facilitate that the
guide sends this review to the Course Coordinator within the deadline given.
2.8 A Faculty guide will be assigned to each student based on the type/area of internship. It is mandatory for the students to
meet their respective faculty guides before proceeding for internship and continue to remain in touch with them for
regular updates and guidance throughout the internship. Students can take the initiative of establishing communication
protocols with their faculty guides to ease contact during the summer internship. Any issues should be immediately
brought to the notice of the faculty guide.
2.9 For all submissions students have to submit the soft copy of their reports and assignments. The hard copies also have to
be submitted wherever asked by the faculty. You are expected to follow project guidelines for proper referencing
system.
2.10 They will also carry out checks of these reports to ensure integrity using software, which can check documents within
the batch, across the batch, across past years, worldwide web, etc. Similarity Index is a serious offence, which is
unethical and illegal. If a student is found guilty (intentionally or unintentionally), it will be considered as
misconduct in terms of SBM NMIMS policies and will be dealt with as per rules of SBM NMIMS.
2.11 In case a student is not able to complete the summer internship, he or she will be interviewed by the Career Advisory
Committee (CAC). Some likely conditions owing to which the internship may not be completed are as follows:
 Personal reasons including force majeure

 Company Terminates the internship at an earlier date because the student is unable to complete the
given task due to lack of interest
 Company Terminates the internship at an earlier date because the student’s work is far below
expectations
 Company terminates internship at an earlier date because of breach of confidentiality or plagiarism.
The student may be given an option to complete the academic requirement of summer internship by doing an industrial
project. In ordinary circumstances, the student should complete the internship after the sixth term. Besides this, the CAC
recommend that SBM take one or more of the following actions.
Sr. No Possible actions by the institute

5 Course of Independent Study (CIS)//Research Project/Seminar Papers
Across the different programs at the school, SBM has dissertation and seminar papers that have to be taken up as part of the
curriculum. There is also an option available to the students to pursue courses of independent studies. The table below lists
down such requirement/option across different programs.
Sr. No Program CIS/Dissertation/Research
Project/Seminar Paper
1 MBA CIS
2 MBA Law Research Project

The details of each of these are as follows:

5.1 Course Independent Study (CIS)
Purpose
Course of Independent Study (CIS) allows students to pursue their interests in areas that are not covered in the
regular bouquet of electives offered in the second year of the MBA programs.
A course of independent study is an exceptional instrument designed for advanced learning rather than serving as a
substitute for regular courses. Such a course will necessitate high level of self-directed learning and may require
students to study, conduct primary/ secondary research, and complete written examinations, reports, projects,
research papers, presentations or similar assignments that are designed to measure competency in the stated
educational objectives.
CIS is a course that a student co-designs and pursues under the guidance of a designated instructor to explore an area
or course of knowledge that is not adequately covered through the normal elective courses on offer. By this very
logic, a CIS is a privilege and not a right for the intending student, which is made available under exceptional
circumstances including the following:
5.1.1 The student has demonstrated through his/her past academic performance, a preparedness to pursue an
12
.
advanced course of investigation in the area of his/her choice.
5.1.2 The course matter of study is relevant for his/her career aspirations within the overall academic objectives of
the MBA Programme.
5.1.3 The course matter is not adequately covered in the choice of elective courses on offer. The relevant area
approves the offering of the CIS and a faculty member from within the area is willing and available to help
with the design, delivery and evaluation of CIS.
Guidelines
1. CIS courses at SBM are offered in the IInd year of the MBA program.
2. Students can pursue only 1 CIS course in a year in either of Term IV, V or VI.
3. CIS courses will be equivalent to a full (3.0) credit course. No 0.5 credit, 0.75 credit or 1.5 credit CIS are
permitted.
4. The CIS Course can also be considered as part of required courses for concentration in an area. The grade
obtained in the CIS will be taken into account for calculation of student's CGPA just like any other full credit
course but will not be considered for arriving at decision to award any scholarship and/or medal.
5. The academic capability of the student (reflected in CGPA), ability to pursue advanced work (as endorsed by the
Area) and the relevance of the area of study to the career of the student (as demonstrated or organized in the
proposal) are the indicative criteria for allowing a CIS.
6. A CIS must follow the primary course on offer. A CIS cannot be taken up on a course that is going to be covered
in the subsequent courses.
Requirements
The following minimum criteria must be met to ensure overall outcome of the educational experience, success of the
students and alignment to the Program learning objectives of SBM.
1. Students who wish to opt for CIS should have a minimum CGPA of 3.1
2. The CIS must include comprehensive objectives in written form.
3. The CIS must promote a high level of self-directed learning
4. Students must interact with the faculty-in- charge throughout the trimester
5. It is the responsibility of the students to communicate with the faculty and document the time spent on the CIS.
Students are expected to be engaged in various CIS related activities for a minimum of 100 hours. These will
include but not limited to in-class and out-of-class activities like reading, interaction with faculty, conducting
primary research, analysis and interpretation, learning and use of databases and analytical software’s and report
writing.
Procedure
1. Eligible student(s) who wish to pursue a CIS will indicate such intent before bidding for their choice of electives
for terms IV, V and VI. They will be responsible to make a good case as to why they should be permitted to
pursue a CIS.
2. The preliminary proposals (in the prescribed format available with the Academic office) would be forwarded to
the Area Chairpersons for their consideration and discussion at the area level.
3. The Area Chairperson will intimate the approval of CIS proposals together with the name of the faculty guide to
the Academic office as soon as possible but before the final registrations for term-IV begins.
4. The Area Chairperson will also provide to Academic office the timeline for the course in terms of stages like
submission of final proposal, submission of course report, date of oral defence, panel of area members (3
members including the CIS guide) who would evaluate the course and the evaluation scheme.
5. Academic office will intimate to the concerned student the name of his/her faculty guide as approved by the Area.
The student will have the option to withdraw from the CIS till his/her final registration for term-IV, V or VI open.
6. In case the CIS is not offered or the students choses to withdraw from the CIS, s/he will be required to take up
another course of equivalent credit from the available courses during the final registration for the respective term.
7. The responsibility for getting the CIS going alongside the faculty guide is that of the student. The finalization of
proposal, regular meetings with faculty guide and other course related interactions are left to the initiative of the
student.
8. Students carrying out CIS should circulate a reading list, duly approved by the guide, to all the Area members
(with a CC to Academic office) within 7 days from the beginning of the respective term (term IV or V).
9. Students have to submit the CIS report to the Academic office before the ‘End-Term Examination’ of the term in
which the student undertakes the CIS.
10. No extension of time for submitting the report will be allowed.
11. On receipt of the report, the Academic office will get in touch with concerned Area Chairperson and the Guide to
finalize the date for presentation by the student.
As part of the evaluation of the CIS, a presentation will have to be made to the Evaluation committee on the date
13
.
specified. This presentation will be open to SBM faculty and MBA program students besides the faculty members of that
area. In case the Evaluation Committee is not satisfied with the CIS Report and presentation, it reserves the right to ask
the student to re-write a part or whole of the report. However, in this case, the student will be awarded a maximum grade
of B+.
Milestones/ Deliverables
All CIS courses are expected to have the following milestones:
1. Expression of interest – This request to pursue CIS should be made before students chose electives for year II and
should include (a) the proposed title and topic of study and the broad area of specialization to which it will belong
(Please note that even where the CIS is cross-functional in nature, it has to belong to one primary area for
guidance and evaluation); (b) relevance and importance of the course for the student.
2. Area level deliberation and Confirmation (including faculty- student interaction to work on feasibility and topic
finalization) – should be conducted within 3 weeks of receiving the EOI.
3. Presentation for defence of Proposal– Objective, Methodology, Terms of reference, Time frame – during the 1st
week of the trimester.
4. Interim Submission – Presentation to reflect the progress of the study as per the terms of reference and time frame
in the proposal – between 4-6 weeks from the beginning of the trimester.
5. Final Report and Defence (Viva) – in the 9th week
Format for Expression of Interest for Course of Independent Studies mentioned in Annexure
5.2 Research Project MBA Law Program

In MBA Law Research Projects are exceptional instruments designed for advanced learning rather than serving as
substitutes for regular courses. The academic capability of the student, as reflected in CGPA; ability to pursue
advanced work, as endorsed by the Research Guide; and the relevance of the area of study to the career of the student,
as demonstrated or organized in the proposal, is the indicative criteria for undertaking the Research Project. A Research
Project comprises an investigation together with a written report and interpretation thereof. The Research Project
guidelines are mentioned in the guidelines section.
5.3 Independent Study & Dissertation MBA REM Program

MBA REM course gives the student a choice of perusing a certain topic of interest to the student. The course matter of
study is relevant for his/her career aspirations within the overall academic objectives of the programme and helps the
student in gaining deeper understanding or honing the requisite skillset in the subject matter of his/her choice. This
course will necessitate high level of self-directed learning and may require students to study, conduct primary/
secondary research, and complete written examinations, reports, projects, research papers, presentations or similar
assignments that are designed to measure competency in the stated educational objectives. The Research Seminar
guidelines are mentioned in the guidelines section.
5.4 Seminar Paper MBA PT SE Program

In the course titled ‘Seminar on Social Development' in trimester VI of MBA PT (SE), the students develop and
demonstrate expertise in the topic/theme of their interest in the area of Social Development and write it in the form of a
Research Paper. The students are allotted a Faculty Guide. The Faculty Guide helps the student in developing the
Research Paper over a period of ten weeks.
Aim of the Seminar Paper
 To develop research and documentation skills of the students in the area of social development.
Objectives of the Course
 To develop primary and secondary research skills of the students

of politics/macro policies, and impact of technology as also the alternative paradigms of development and
consequent interventions.
 The students identify their own areas of study on various themes on social development.
14
.
Before the start of the Seminar Paper, a term before (in Term V), students are asked to submit a Concept Note on a
theme/topic of their interest. The Concept Note covers the following points
 Topic
 Rationale for selecting the topic
 Objectives
 How is the student going to undertake the study- secondary/primary data sources?
 What are the important documents/reports/websites that the student will refer to?

8 Placement Guidelines:
NMIMS is a premier University of the country and the B-School is in existence for over four decades. Over the years it has
earned recognition from industry & professional associations, corporates, peer group institutions and accreditation agencies.
All these laurels and recognitions would have been incomplete without the support of the corporate world. Our alumni occupy
senior positions in leading companies across sectors.
NMIMS is also a great place to recruit potential young managers and business leaders. Leading companies across sectors
consider our students for recruitments/ internships. As we have cordial relations with the corporate world, many companies
have supported us even during tough times. We would like to continue this mutually symbiotic relationship. Hence, it is
expected that students understand this sentiment and behave responsibly at all times. Any untoward incident will jeopardize
this association and have serious repercussions for placements and for the future.
The corporate world expects students to display high standards of professional knowledge, capability and excellence.
Recruiters also look for candidates who are clear about their long-term plans, the sector they want to be and profile
they want to undertake.
Placement assistance is offered to students of various programs across Schools & Campuses. The Placement Office
facilitates the process of placements – internship & recruitment by creating an interface between recruiters and
students. Efforts are made to market the programs with their merits with an endeavour to get companies to offer
internships/recruit students. The selection process specified by the company is followed. The PlaceCom - Placement
Committee of students is actively involved in the placement activities – contacting/visiting companies located in
metros & major cities for placement presentations and also coordinate various activities during the placement
processes.
The Placement Office devises placement guidelines that are in the larger interest of the School and students, in
consultation with students and faculty.
Students are expected to maintain decorum and abide by the guidelines during placement processes. In the event of
non-conformance to the placement guidelines, the School reserves the right to initiate corrective action.
The COVID 19 pandemic has had far-reaching consequences leading to an altogether new world of working for all
leading to WFH, virtual internships and virtual selection process.
The Placement process typically involves –
 Batch Preparation

8.1 Batch Preparation:

The Comprehensive Batch Preparation Program is to enhance the suitability of candidates and orient them to industry
practices and expectations.
a. Interactive sessions with alumni/industry experts in various profiles that help students to gain clarity on role/fit,
understanding expectations of the company, future prospects - career evolution, right approach for cracking
interviews, listen to first-hand experience & get a feel of life in a particular profile etc.
b. Interaction with seniors who have undergone internships in companies.
c. Assigning seniors or alumni as mentors to guide students.
d. Mock interviews with alumni/corporates to get a direct feedback from people in relevant industries.
e. Guest talks and workshops on various topics from corporates.
f. Resume building as per guidelines
g. Soft skills training etc.
8.1.1 Prior to the commencement of the selection process it is expected that students should be having a fair idea about
their interest, sector and specialization or at least have some long term vision of where they want to be and should
direct their efforts accordingly. A bit of clarity will help students land a good internship/job.
8.1.2 Hence students should do a thorough research about the company, the business, the sector, other players in the
sector, the financials etc. and be prepared with a background and fact file prior to the process. Also some
additional information – the number of interns/recruits in the past, whether the company has a PPO policy, the
roles offered, the experience of seniors who interned with the company etc. will be of help.
8.1.3 The Placement Office also involves companies in a number of Campus Engagement activities – contests, projects,
workshops, seminars, guest talks etc. that would benefit a larger number of students and also help in promoting
the excellent quality of the batch.
8.1.4 Based on the guidelines, students will have to prepare their resume that would encapsulate info about academics,
work experience, internship, co-curricular activities, extracurricular activities, projects, awards, achievements,
hobbies etc.
8.2 Pre-Placement Talk – PPT
PPT’s are a medium wherein the company officials disseminate information regarding the company, the profile, the
compensation etc. and clarify the queries of students. The company officials invest time and effort to disseminate info
and the interactive session will make them feel visiting our campus was worth it. Hence students are requested to
participate and ask relevant questions.
8.3 Internships/Projects
8.3.1 The Placement Office makes all efforts to reach out for internships across varied sectors, companies and profiles.
Based on ones’ interests and capabilities one should seek internships. Choosing the correct company for
internships and performing up to the mark is of utmost importance.
8.3.2 The Internships are not only a window to the corporate world but also a relationship-building tool for NMIMS. It
allows the companies to have a look at the talent at NMIMS, thereby strengthening Final Placements.
8.3.3 Internships are an integral part of the curriculum for securing the degree. It is a great learning platform for our
students and goes a long way in shaping the learning obtained in the classroom. This experience is of immense
use to students to enable them to acclimatize themselves to the intricacies of the corporate world.
8.3.4 The project is expected to build on the theoretical learning with practical experience and help students to identify
the gaps in their learning, which they can attempt to fill in. They could also discover areas of interest and future
career options.
8.3.5 Interactions during the internships both with other interns as well as employees help students to understand the
expectations/needs of the organization, the sector in general, to identify the gaps in their learning and in orienting
oneself towards the sector and developing the required skill sets to emerge as the most suitable candidate.
8.3.6 Internships also hold a special significance as it is an apt mechanism for companies to spot bright talent early.
Many companies have structured internship process which is used as a ‘testing ground’ to gain a direct
understanding of the skill and ability of students leading to declaration of PPO’s/PPI’s. NMIMS too encourages
candidates to work towards such offers that are based on internship performance.
8.3.7 Pre Placement Offer (PPO) is an Offer by the company to the intern acknowledging the excellent work done
during the internship. Pre Placement Interview (PPI) is an opportunity by the company for the intern to be directly
selected for the interview for final placements. Thus, the students should be careful in applying to the companies
of their choice and should put in all efforts to convert the internship into an Offer. Thus, the seriousness of this
cannot be overstated.
8.3.8 While feedback from the company is sought, the internship is also evaluated by School that could involve faculty
guide monitoring the performance; periodic report submissions, evaluations, Viva Voce etc.

.
8.4 Final Placements

8.4.1 Leading companies across sectors aspire to recruit students of NMIMS. Each company has its own set of
characteristics or qualities that they look for in a candidate. Hence, the company devises the eligibility criteria and
selection process accordingly.
8.4.2 The process of selection starts with inviting applications based on the eligibility, profile, project,
stipend/compensation details shared by the company. The applications of applicants are then sent to companies.
Students are required to check their emails/Placement Portal/Student Portal, etc. regularly for information
updates.
8.4.3 Every effort will be made to facilitate the placement process. However, it is the effort of the student that gets
him/her selected for the job. Not getting selected for internships or during final placements in the first few
companies should not lead to panic. Students are advised not to switch profiles in anxiety or haste.
8.4.4 Companies could have one or multiple rounds for selection – case analysis, group discussion, group exercises,
interviews etc. Reasons like location, family issues etc. should not be constraints to students. They are expected to
be mobile and have the capability to adjust and adapt and respond to emergent situations successfully.
8.4.5 Students who wish to drop out of the placement process are expected to formally notify the Placement Office vide
the ‘Opted Out Form’ mentioning the reason, which could be higher studies, entrepreneurship, family business,
seeking placements on their own giving with the names of such companies and details. The reason being, to iron
out any hitches that may crop up later as the Placement Office approaches many companies and would like to
continue the cordial relationship with them.
8.4.6 Each of the Schools will be sharing to the batch, guidelines related to Resume, PPT, Internships, PPO’s/PPI’s,
Final Placements etc. and it is expected that students follow the same. The School reserves the right to change,
modify the guidelines in the best interest of the batch. Students are free to approach the Placement Office for any
queries or guidance.

• To pass in a particular subject in any of the trimester end examination or trimester end re-examination, student must
secure a minimum of one-third marks of the total maximum marks of that subject, in the trimester end examination.
23
.
• “F” Grade would be awarded, where marks obtained are less than 40 (39 and below) in aggregate or where the marks
obtained in the trimester end examination are less than one-third of the total maximum marks of the respective course.
• Students who fail to fulfil above passing criteria would be awarded ‘F’ grade.
• Students who obtain marks between 40 and 49.99 would be awarded ‘D’ grade (low pass). Please refer ‘Grading’ scheme
given below.
• For 100% ICA course the passing standards are same as above. There is no provision for re- evaluation/re- examination
for the such course post the declaration of ICA evaluation.
14.2 Grading System

The following would be the letter grading system leading to the award of a four-point Grade Point Average (GPA) for each
term and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) for all the terms until date.
Method of calculation of letter grades for batch size of 25 and above:
a) Wherever the course is taught by one faculty in one or more divisions

Grading will be done after considering the marks (i.e., aggregate of internal continuous assessment and trimester end
examination marks) obtained by each student of the entire batch for the course sharing common paper, by fitting such
marks into normal distribution curve.
Maximum marks assigned by the faculty concerned for a course will be taken into account for the batch / group.
For the purpose of assigning grades, the following table would be used.
Sr.No Letter Grade % of class

1 Grade A 35 percent of batch excluding Grades D & F
2 Grade B 50 percent of batch excluding Grades D & F
3 Grade C 15 percent of batch excluding Grades D & F
4 Grade D Where marks obtained are between 40 and 49
5 Grade F i) Where marks obtained are less than 40 (39 and below) in aggregate and/ or.
Where the marks obtained in the trimester end examination are less than one-
third of the total maximum marks of the respective course.
b) Method of calculation of letter grades for class size of less than 25

For the calculation of grades, the following guidelines would be observed:
• Maximum marks assigned by the faculty concerned for a course will be taken into account for the batch /
group.
• Difference between the maximum marks and 50 marks would be calculated.
• The said difference will be equally divided into slabs of nine letter grades (i.e. A+, A, and A-, B+, B and B-
and C+, C and C-)
• ‘D’ grade will be assigned to students, who have obtained marks between 40 and 49.
• ‘F’ grade will be assigned to students who have obtained marks less than 40 and / or to the students whose
marks in the trimester end examination are less than one-third of the total maximum marks of the trimester
end examination of the respective course.
• Grading will be done on the basis of marks obtained by a student in each course which will be fitted into the
above slabs of letter grades
Here A will include A+, A and A-, B includes B+, B and B-, C includes C+, C and C- as given above, while
calculating the letter grades for each course of the students.
c) In case of elective courses, the number of students for that course would be considered for the purpose of assigning
grades for that course.
14.3 Method of Calculation of GPA:

Grade Point Average for a term will be computed by dividing, the sum of product of grade point of each Course /
module and credit value assigned, to each respective course by the sum of credits assigned to all the courses/ modules
for the related term.
24
.
14.4 Method of Calculation of CGPA:
Cumulative Grade Point Average up to and including a term will be computed by dividing the sum of product of grade
point of each course/ module and credit value assigned to each respective course by the sum of credits assigned to all
the courses/ modules up to and including the related term.
Here:
C = Credit value assigned to a course/ module
G = Grade point value assigned to a student for course/ module corresponding to the letter grade (refer table given)
GPA: Grade Point Average shall be calculated for Individual term.
CGPA: Cumulative Grade Point Average shall be calculated up to and including each term till date.
14.5 RE - EXAMINATIONS:
• Re-Examination will be conducted immediately after Term-End Exam for students who may have obtained ‘F’ and/ or
‘D’ grade, immediately after Term End Exam.

.
15.2 Grading System
The following will be the letter grading system leading to the award of a four-point Grade Point Average (GPA) for each
term and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) for all the terms till date.
Method of calculation of letter grades for batch size of 25 and above

a. Wherever the course is taught by one faculty in one or more divisions
Grading will be done after considering the marks (i.e., aggregate of internal continuous assessment and trimester end
examination marks) obtained by each student of the entire batch for the course sharing common paper, by fitting such
marks into normal distribution curve.
b. Maximum marks assigned by the faculty concerned for a course will be taken into account for the batch group.
c. For the purpose of assigning grades, the following table would be used.
Letter Grade % of class

Grade A 35 percent of batch excluding Grades D & F
Grade B 50 percent of batch excluding Grades D & F
Grade C 15 percent of batch excluding Grades D & F
Grade D Where marks obtained are between 40 and 49
Grade F Where the marks obtained in the trimester end examination are less than one-third of the total
maximum marks of the respective course.
ii) Method of calculation of letter grades for class size of less than 25
For the calculation of grades, the following guidelines would be observed:
b. Maximum marks assigned by the faculty concerned for a course will be taken into account for the batch /
group.
c. Difference between the maximum marks and 50 marks would be calculated.
d. The said difference will be equally divided into slabs of nine letter grades (i.e., A+, A, and A-, B+, B and B-
and C+, C and C-)
e. ‘D’ grade will be assigned to students, who have obtained marks between 40 and 49.
f. ‘F’ grade will be assigned to students whose marks in the trimester end examination are less than one-third of
the total maximum marks of the trimester end examination of the respective course.
g. Grading will be done on the basis of marks obtained by a student in each course which will be fitted into the
above slabs of letter grades
Here A will include A+, A and A-, B includes B+, B and B-, C includes C+, C and C- as given above, while calculating
the letter grades for each course of the students.
In case of elective courses, the number of students for that course would be considered for the purpose of assigning
grades for that course.
15.3 Method of Calculation of GPA:

Grade Point Average for a term will be computed by dividing, the sum of product of grade point of each
Course / module and credit value assigned, to each respective course by the sum of credits assigned to all the courses/ modules for
the related term.
15.4 Method of Calculation of CGPA:

Cumulative Grade Point Average up to and including a term will be computed by dividing the sum of product of grade
point of each course/ module and credit value assigned to each respective course by the sum of credits assigned to all
the courses/ modules up to and including the related term.
Here:
C = Credit value assigned to a course/ module
G = Grade point value assigned to a student for course/ module corresponding to the letter grade (refer table given)
27
.
GPA: Grade Point Average shall be calculated for Individual term.
CGPA: Cumulative Grade Point Average shall be calculated up to and including each term till date.

Research Project Guidelines 2022-23 for MBA Law (Trimester - IV)
 Research Projects are exceptional instruments designed for advanced learning rather than serving as substitutes for regular
courses. The academic capability of the student, as reflected in CGPA; ability to pursue advanced work, as endorsed by the
Research Guide; and the relevance of the area of study to the career of the student, as demonstrated or organized in the
proposal, are the indicative criteria for undertaking the Research Project. A Research Project comprises an investigation
together with a written report and interpretation thereof.
 A student co-designs and pursues Research Project under the guidance of a designated Research Guide to explore an area
or course of knowledge that is not adequately covered through the normal courses on offer.
 A student, working on such a Research Project shall decide about who will be his/her Research guide for this project and
shall accordingly ensure that the said learned professional agrees to guide and mentor till completion of research work,
presentation and viva- voce for evaluation.
 For the Research Project a preliminary proposal has to be created and submitted. The proposal should include the
following:
 Proposed Title
 What you wish to study? Please note that even where the RESEARCH PROJECT is cross-functional in nature, it has
to belong to one primary area for guidance and evaluation.
 Why do you think it is important for you to undertake this research project?
 Name and brief details of the Research Guide
 A prescribed application form for RESEARCH PROJECT will be available with the Coordinator. Please complete this
form and enclose your preliminary proposal and submit it to the Coordinator as per the deadline received from academic
office.
 These preliminary proposals would be forwarded to the Programme Chairperson for consideration and discussion. The
Programme Chairperson will intimate the approval of RESEARCH PROJECT proposals together with the name of the
faculty guide to the Coordinator within ten working days from the date of submission. The Programme Chairperson will
also provide to Academic office the timeline for the course in terms of stages like submission of final proposal, submission
of course report, date of presentation and oral defence, panel of area members consisting of three members including the
Research Project guide, who would evaluate the project.
 The responsibility for setting up meetings for the Research Project with the faculty guide is that of the student. The
finalization of proposal and meetings with faculty guide and other course related interactions are also left to the initiative of
the student.
 A copy of the RESEARCH PROJECT Report must be submitted to the Coordinator. If any student fails to submit his / her
RESEARCH PROJECT Report on or before the stipulated deadline for submission, no extension will be granted and a
grade of ‘F’ will be awarded.
Only exception to this will be permitted by Dean SBM based on extreme situations of exigencies that the students might
have faced due to medical or family matters.
A student will also be required to give a formal presentation in presence of an Evaluation Committee on the date specified.
This presentation will be open to SBM faculty and MBA Law program students. In case the Evaluation Committee is not
satisfied with the RESEARCH PROJECT Report and presentation, it reserves the right to ask the student to re-write a part
or whole of the report. However, in this case, the student will be awarded a maximum grade of C+.
 The grade obtained in the RESEARCH PROJECT is taken into account for calculation of student's CGPA just like any
other full credit course. This RESEARCH PROJECT will be considered as one Course with 6 full credits (100 Marks)
 A student cannot undertake more than one Research Project under any circumstances.
Step-wise process for RESEARCH PROJECT

i. RESEARCH PROJECT is a ‘Six Full Credit’ Course and is compulsory. The Programme Chair may reject the proposal
or may propose amendment to the proposal and ask the student concerned to resubmit the proposal.
ii. The entire exercise of acceptance of the proposal and nominating faculty for the RESEARCH PROJECT should be
completed and communicated to the Academic office.
53
iii. Students carrying out RESEARCH PROJECT should circulate a reading list, duly approved by the guide, to the
Programme Chairperson with a copy to Academic office within seven days from the beginning of the project date.
iv. Students have to submit the RESEARCH PROJECT report to the Academic office before 1month of ‘end term
examination’ of the term in which the student undertakes the RESEARCH PROJECT.
v. On receipt of the report, the Academic office will get in touch with concerned Programme Chairperson and the Guide to
finalize a date for presentation by the student.
vi. As part of the evaluation of the RESEARCH PROJECT, a presentation will have to be made to the Evaluation
Committee. Presentation once made will be final. No students will be allowed to make presentation more than once.
3 Evaluation Mechanism and Guidelines:

A student will be required to submit the research project to the coordinator concerned. The evaluation mechanism would be as
under:
1. The research project will be evaluated by the research guide under whom the research was carried out.
2. The research guide would award marks out of 20 towards evaluation of the project.
3. On satisfactory completion of writing the RESEARCH PROJECT, the said student will be required to appear for a
presentation and viva. The research guide and external examiner will form a panel for the said presentation and viva.
4. Evaluation of the presentation and viva would be carried out by the research guide and external examiner. They would
award marks as under,
 Research Guide – 40 Marks
 External Examiner – 40 Marks
5. The grading will be done as per examination guidelines.
6. A student may be asked to resubmit the RESEARCH PROJECT if the same is found to be unsatisfactory, during project
evaluation or viva/presentation.
7. If after the aforesaid evaluation, the RESEARCH PROJECT of any student is found to be unsatisfactory, such a student
would be awarded ‘F’ grade.
8. In such case, the examiners may ask the student to re-submit a part of complete research project or complete research
project and undergo viva/presentation separately. In that case, such students would be eligible for a maximum grade of
‘C+’ after the re-submission.
