The following shall be guidelines for project evaluation:
The marks obtained by students in End Semester examination shall be displayed on the notice board.

The concerned examined script shall be reviewed by an Expert nominated by the Vice-Chancellor on the recommendation of the concerned Head of the Department.
The credits, unless otherwise specified for B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) shall be five for each courses. The number of credits along with grade points that the student has satisfactorily completed measures the performance of the student. Satisfactory progress of a student is subject to his/ her maintaining a minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), as well as minimum grades in different courses of the programme. A certain number of credits, that may be specified by the Academic Council from time to time, must be earned by the student to qualify for the degree.
Credits of a course shall be assigned in the following manner:
Each course shall carry a weightage of ‘5’ credits unless otherwise specified by the academic council. The Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) will be the weighted average of the grade points. If the grade points of the letter grades awarded to a student in five courses are denoted by g1, g2, g3, g4. g5, and the weights of the courses by w1, w2, w3, w4, w5 respectively, the SGPA will be computed as follows:
SGPA= | w1g1 + w2g2 + w3g3 + w4g4 + w5g5+........ |
w1 + w2 + w3 + w4 + w5+......... |
The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) will be used to describe the overall performance of a student up to and including the latest semester. It will be computed in a similar manner from the grade points of all the grades the student has received since his beginning of the course.
CGPA = | w1g1 + w2g2 + w3g3 +..... |
w1 +w2 +w3+...... |
Marks Range (Out of 100) | Grade | Grade Point |
---|---|---|
90 -100 | O (Outstanding) | 10 |
80 – 89 | A (Distinction) | 9 |
70 – 79 | B (Very Good) | 8 |
60 – 69 | C (Good) | 7 |
50 – 59 | D (Fair) | 6 |
40 – 49 | E (Average) | 5 |
Passed | P (Pass) | 4 |
00 – 39 | F (Fail) | 0 |
The F grade denotes poor performance, i.e., failing in the course. A student has to appear at subsequent examination(s), if provided under the regulations in all courses in which he/she obtains "F" grade, until a passing grade is obtained.
A candidate may not be admitted into examination room unless he/she produces his/her admit card to the officer conducting the examination or satisfies such officer that it shall be subsequently produced.

However, there shall be a provision of supplementary examination for IXth and Xth semesters after declaration of the result of Xth Semester. Students failing in courses of IXth and Xth semesters may appear in supplementary examination(s) or subsequent main examination(s)
The candidates who have taken admission in B.A. LL.B. (Hons.) programme First Semester in a session can be put in the following two categories on the basis of their attendance in the Semester:
Those who did not put in the required minimum percentage of attendance for appearing at the I-Semester Examination or did not fill up examination form in time for appearing at the I-Semester Examination.
Candidates under Category 10.(i)(a-i) are eligible for appearing at the examination of I-Semester, while candidates under Category 10.(i)(a-ii) are not allowed to appear at the examination of the Semester. However, category 10.(i)(a-ii) candidates are allowed to reappear at the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) of subsequent year(s) for seeking admission afresh subject to the fulfillment of other eligibility requirements. This implies that no readmission is permissible to those who do not put in the required percentage of attendance for taking the examination or did not submit the examination form in time.
All students who have put in the minimum percentage of attendance in III-Semester and filled in the examination form in time and shall be promoted to IV Semester.
Failed candidates shall not be promoted to the VII Semester. However, they shall be promoted to the VII semester when they become eligible to come under the category of either ‘Passed’ or ‘Promoted’ as explained above after passing the Failed papers in the subsequent available examinations as ex-students.
After declaration of results of IX & X Semesters, a candidate can be put in the following two categories:
Such failed students may clear their failed courses in subsequent examinations as ex-students. There shall be a provision of supplementary examinations for IX and X Semesters after declaration of results of X Semester.

(iii) | Second Division | : | CGPA 5.0 and above, but below 6.5 |
(iv) | Third Division | : | CGPA 4.0 and to 4.9 |
Note: The SGPA and CGPA shall be computed upto 2 places of decimals (truncated at the second place).
The conversion formula for converting CGPA to the corresponding Percentage of Marks will be as follow:
X = 10 Y - 4.5
where, X = Percentage of Marks
Y = CGPA
