If no permission obtained by the Faculty Board, then your effective date is the date you submit the report and you will not be eligible for classes.

  • Follow “Student’s Handbook on Preparation of Research Project Report (4200 Series)”.

SELECTION OF ADVANCED MODULE IN BSC AGTECH & MGT

  • To follow the courses in the Advanced Program of the B.Sc. Agricultural Technology and Management degree, a student must obtain a minimum CGPA of 2.0 in the core program.
  • Selecting of majoring module is based on student choice or preference.
  • Faculty developed different modules to add diversity to our students. All modules are having job but some jobs are specific for certain modules.
  • Majoring module is selected towards the latter part of 3100 Series.
  • Your advanced module is only one element of your intellectual experience at the Faculty, but it will determine the main focus of your studies for your final one and half years at the Faculty. So, you will want to select a Department that is a good fit for your interests, talents and goals.
  • You might ask yourself: in what department will the requirements, course offerings and independent work allow me to study what I love? Where will I excel and develop the specific skills that matter to me? Where will I learn things that will help me make a difference in the world? And where will I find the mentors and peers best suited to me?
  • Bear in mind that while your advanced module is a significant part of your Faculty experience, what you learn in your advanced module will be complemented by your core program and other supplementary and complementary courses, in-plant training, study abroad experiences and extra-curricular activities. Moreover, every advanced program teaches you to think critically and creatively, perform research and communicate your ideas-skills that will serve you well whatever your path after graduation.
  • We encourage you to thoughtfully explore different departments in your first two years at the Faculty before deciding which one is best for you. One of the best ways to explore is to sample potential advanced program by simply taking courses in them. In addition, there are an abundance of advising resources available at the Faculty to guide you.
  • It is based on your choice. If you are doubt, better if you talk to your advisor, Head of Department, Dean or module coordinator or SAWC members.

GRADING SYSTEM, CUTOFF MARKS FOR A+ & C- AND REPEAT STUDENTS

  • A+ is given only to those who obtain a distinctly high mark (over 90) and are outliers of the marks’ distribution.

  • For the pass grade to obtain in any subject, the threshold level of grading is equivalent to a C- (38 marks). To pass a credited course a student should achieve a minimum of ‘C-’ grade.

  • If he/she wishes to upgrade the grade of the subject and GPA, yes, he/she has to.
  • If his/her FGPA is less than 2.00, then he/she has to upgrade C- till he/she reaches required FGPA.
  • You can keep any number of C- but FGPA at the time of completion must reach 2.00.

  • The maximum number of repeat attempts for a course shall be two (2).
  • If a student did not satisfy the requirement of a course (minimum achievement within 3 attempts), a grace attempt can be considered by the Faculty Board only with a written request from the student with a valid reason.
  • All grades below C? should be improved at the first available opportunity.

  • If one subject repeat you will not lose your class but if time period you taking complete your degree program exceed the stipulated time period, then answer is yes, you lose your class.

GRADING SYSTEM, CUTOFF MARKS FOR A+ & C- AND REPEAT STUDENTS

  • GPA stands for Grade Point Average. It is a standard way of measuring academic achievement in the course unit system. Basically, each course is given a certain number of "credits", depending on the content of the course ranging from 1 credit to 6 or 8 credits in final year project. GPA assumes a grading scale of A+, A, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, E. Each grade is assigned a number of grade points as given in the following table.

GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)

  • GPA stands for Grade Point Average. It is a standard way of measuring academic achievement in the course unit system. Basically, each course is given a certain number of "credits", depending on the content of the course ranging from 1 credit to 6 or 8 credits in final year project. GPA assumes a grading scale of A+, A, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, E. Each grade is assigned a number of grade points as given in the following table.
    Letter Grade* Grade Point Letter Grade* Grade Point
    A+ / A 4.0 C 2.0
    A- 3.7 C- 1.7
    B+ 3.3 D+ 1.3
    B 3.0 D 1.0
    B- 2.7 E 0.0
    C+ 2.3    
  • If you take a 3 credits course and receive an A grade, you receive 3 credits times 4 points (for the A), which gives a total of 12 grade points for the course.
  • If you take a 1 credit course and receive a B+ grade, you receive 1 credit times 3.3 points (for the B+), which gives a total of 3.3 grade points for the course.
  • Let's say you also take a 2 credits course and receive a C+ grade. That is 2 credits times 2.3 points for 4.6 points.
  • So for your three courses you have accumulated 19.9 (12+3.3+4.6) grade points for the 6 credits. You then divide the accumulated grade points by the number of credits and you have your GPA. (19.9/6=4.42), so your GPA is 3.32, which is slightly higher than a B+ average.
  • Now, you may be able to calculate your grade point average. Mathematically, GPA can be calculated as follows:

GPA = åGi Ci / å Ci
where, Gi = grade point of the ith course
Ci = number of units of the ith course

  • CGPA stands for Cumulative Grade Point Average. If we are to identify the overall best student up to the end of 3100 series, we will calculate total GPA up to 3100. This is used to identify candidates for scholarship etc.

  • FGPA stands for Final Grade Point Average. The FGPA for the degree program will be calculated at the completion of all requirements for the degree, as follows:

FGPA = å(aj Tj Pj) /å (aj Tj)

where, aj = 20, 25, 25 and 30 percentages for the first, second, third and fourth academic years, respectively.

Tj = total course units credited in year j

Pj = GPA in year j

The FGPA will be rounded to the second decimal place. The classes will be awarded to students based on the FGPA as given below:

Level of performance FGPA
First class ? 3.70
Second class (upper) 3.30-3.69
Second class (lower) 3.00-3.29
Pass 2.00-2.90

To be eligible for a class, the requirements for any of the three degree programs should be successfully completed within four (4) academic years (now within 9 academic semesters), except on grounds acceptable to the University Senate.

  • It should not be GPA. Students must obtain a minimum FGPA of 2.00 to be eligible for the award of respective degree.

  • Grade Point Average (GPA) is important criteria for recruitment process of several jobs where they requested classes and points are allocated based on the class obtained.
  • For example, recruitment to academic staff, if you are having first class you will get 10 points whereas second class upper division will get only 8 points.

  • The following simple tips may be useful for you to obtain a better grade and save you precious study time
  • Live joyfully, smiling, being optimistic, and keep up your own motivation.
  • Do not underestimate your capabilities of achieving a higher grade.
  • Try to avoid getting in trouble. Follow rules. Be respectful and honorable. Be prompt to class (never tardy).
  • Know how you learn and adapt to better learning options.
  • Before end semester examination, calculate marks for your continuous assessments, if you miss any assessments inform at right time and request a make-up examination.
  • Get organized and manage your time well.
  • Make smart, focused friends and make them to your advantage. Spend your free time with them - just watching each other study. Pick up on their better habits.
  • Make friends who took the class.
  • Participate in class.
  • Get to know your teachers. Ask question from teacher. If your teacher has office hours, go to them. If not, seek them out after class.
  • If you are having trouble with the class material, ask the teacher or temporary staff clarification of difficult concepts. This seems like a no brainer, but many students feel embarrassed and never get the help they need.
  • Take advantage of technology. The world you live in is amazing. Use them.
  • Finish homework early so you are not stressed out.
  • Do not wait until the last moment to finish assignments and home works.
  • Eat healthily and get enough rest.
  • Having a mentor (advisor) can be incredibly helpful if you are struggling with your grades. Not only can they help you study (or find resources for help), but they can offer you emotional support and guidance as well.

  • You start with higher GPA value. Do not need to regret later.

  • Identify your credit requirement, assume your expected grade and apply to formula, you will get your GPA. Adjust grades; you can see how you improve it. If you can do it for all semesters, then you can identify status of your results.
