The Academic Office offers the following grades:

  • C (6/10)
  • C- (5/10)
  • D (4/10)
  • E
  • F (Fail Grade)
  • P (Pass Grade)

Few insights into the assignment of these grades:

  1. An A+ (11/10) grade is usually assigned to one or two students who have excelled way beyond their peers in a particular course. It is to the discretion of the course instructor to have/not to have an A+ grade for their course.
  2. The E is assigned in case of below-par performance in a course.
  3. The infamous F/Fail grade is assigned in the scenarios when the student is caught in an unethical malpractice that violates the IITGN code of conduct or it may even be imposed for poor performance in a course.
  4. Again to the discretion of the instructor, the E may hold a weightage of (3/10) or (2/10) and the for certain, the F amounts to (0/10)
  1. There are few courses, under the General Education (GE) basket and Physical Education (PE), that amount to a no-numbered grade: such courses are termed as Pass-Fail courses.
