IIT Gandhinagar devise new grading system for online classes
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.”
