The Indian
Institute of Technology (IIT) Gandhinagar will commence the online classes to
complete various courses of second semester. The institute has also decided not
to give any grade for any courses, including the one that have been completed
before. In the place of old grades new grades -- ‘P(E)’ and ‘I/F’ have been
introduced.
The ‘P(E)’ grade
is a Pass Emergency grade but will be treated differently than the usual ‘P’
grade. The ‘I/F’ grade denotes ‘Incomplete/Fail’ but will not distinguish between
incomplete and fail, the institute informed.
All the
students with ‘I/F’ grade will have one opportunity to complete the course
requirement and improve their performance and earn ‘P(E)’ grade. The deadline
for the same will be communicated to the students.
Elaborating
on the new grading system, Prof. Pratik Mutha, Dean (Academic Affairs), IIT
Gandhinagar, said, “If a student’s performance does not warrant a ‘P(E)’ grade
even after this evaluation, the ‘I/F’ grade will be converted to a traditional
‘F’ grade and the credits for this course will naturally not be counted towards
the graduation requirements. Thus, an ‘I/F’ grade will not show on a student’s
final official record. Neither the ‘P(E)’ nor the ‘F’ grades of Semester II,
2019-20 will be counted in the CPI (Cumulative Performance Index) calculation.”
For MTech
and PhD students, he said “the grades for thesis units will continue to be
either ‘S’ or ‘U’ as is usually practiced. However, any ‘U’ grade awarded in
Semester II, 2019-20 will be dropped from the student’s record. Graduation
requirements remain unchanged.”
