Course content and grading
All the courses which have been conferred autonomous status have their departments set their own course
content and grading system. The college follows the creditbased system of performance evaluation, with
proportional weighting of courses based on their importance. The total marks (usually out of 100) form the
basis of grades, with a grade value (out of 10) assigned to a range of marks. For each semester, the students
are graded by taking a weighted average of all the subject grades with their respective credit points. Each
semester's evaluation is done independently with a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) reflecting the
overall performance across semesters. Till June 2012, the grading system being followed was relative
grading,
[12]
but the college switched to an absolute grading system after consultations with the
university.
