FOREWORD

The autonomy is conferred on MLR Institute of Technology by UGC based on its performance as well as
future commitment and competency to impart quality education. It is a mark of its ability to function
independently in accordance with the set norms of the monitoring bodies like UGC and AICTE. It reflects
the confidence of the UGC in the autonomous institution to uphold and maintain standards it expects to
deliver on its own behalf and thus awards degrees on behalf of the college. Thus, an autonomous
institution is given the freedom to have its own curriculum, examination system and monitoring
mechanism, independent of the affiliating University but under its observance.

MLR Institute of Technology is proud to win the credence of all the above bodies monitoring the quality in
education and has gladly accepted the responsibility of sustaining, if not improving upon the standards
and ethics for which it has been striving for more than a decade in reaching its present standing in the
arena of contemporary technical education. As a follow up, statutory bodies like Academic Council and
Boards of Studies are constituted with the guidance of the Governing Body of the College and
recommendations of the JNTU Hyderabad to frame the regulations, course structure and syllabi under
autonomous status.

The autonomous regulations, course structure and syllabi have been prepared after prolonged and
detailed interaction with several expertise solicited from academics, industry and research, in accordance
with the vision and mission of the college to order to produce quality engineering graduates to the society.

All the faculty, parents and students are requested to go through all the rules and regulations carefully.
Any clarifications, if needed, are to be sought, at appropriate time and with principal of the college,
without presumptions, to avoid unwanted subsequent inconveniences and embarrassments. The
Cooperation of all the stake holders is sought for the successful implementation of the autonomous
system in the larger interests of the college and brighter prospects of engineering graduates.

7. Examinations and Assessment - The Grading System


7.1 Marks will be awarded to indicate the performance of each student in each Theory Course, or
Lab/Practicals, or Seminar, or Project, etc., based on the % marks obtained in CIE + SEE
(Continuous Internal Evaluation + Semester End Examination, both taken together) as specified
in Item6above, and a corresponding Letter Grade shall be given.
7.2 As a measure of the student‟s performance, a 10-point Absolute Grading System using the
following Letter Grades (UGC Guidelines) and corresponding percentage of marks shall be
followed:
% of Marks Secured Letter Grade Grade
(Class Intervals) (UGC Guidelines) Points
90% and above O
10
(  90% , ≤ 100% ) (Outstanding)
+
Below 90% but not less than 80% A
9
(  80% , < 90% ) (Excellent)
Below 80% but not less than 70% A
8
(  70% , < 80% ) (Very Good)
Below 70% but not less than 60% B+
7
(  60% , < 70% ) (Good)
Below 60% but not less than 50% B
6
(  50% , < 60% ) (above Average)
Below 50% F
0
( < 50% ) (FAIL)
Absent AB 0
7.3 A student obtaining F Grade in any Course shall be considered „failed‟ and is be required to
reappear as „Supplementary Candidate‟ in the Semester End Examination (SEE), as and when
offered. In such cases, his Internal Marks (CIE Marks) in those Courses will remain the same as
those he obtained earlier.
7.4 A student not appeared for examination then „AB‟ Grade will be allocated in any Course shall be
considered „failed‟ and will be required to reappear as „Supplementary Candidate‟ in the
Semester End Examination (SEE), as and when offered.
7.5 A Letter Grade does not imply any specific Marks percentage and it will be the range of marks
percentage.
7.6 In general, a student shall not be permitted to repeat any Course(s) only for the sake of „Grade
Improvement‟ or „SGPA / CGPA Improvement‟.
7.7 A student earns Grade Point (GP) in each Course, on the basis of the Letter Grade obtained by
him in that Course. The corresponding „Credit Points‟ (CP) are computed by multiplying the
Grade Point with Credits for that particular Subject / Course.
Credit Points (CP) = Grade Point (GP) x Credits …. For a Course
7.8 The Student passes the Course only when he gets GP 6 (B Grade or above).

M.Tech –Thermal Engineering Academic Regulations & Syllabus Page 4


MLR Institute of Technology

7.9 A student earns Grade Point (GP) in each Course, on the basis of the Letter Grade
obtained by him in that Course (excluding Mandatory non-credit Courses). Then the
corresponding „Credit Points‟ (CP) are computed by multiplying the Grade Point with
Credits for that particular Course.
Credit Points (CP) = Grade Point (GP) x Credits …. For a Course
7.10 The Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is calculated by dividing the Sum of Credit
Points (CP)secured from ALL Courses registered in a Semester, by the Total Number
of Credits registered during that Semester. SGPA is rounded off to TWO Decimal Places.
SGPA is thus computed as
SGPA = { }/{ } …. For each Semester,
where „i‟ is the Course indicator index (takes into account all Courses in a Semester), „N‟ is the
no. of Courses „REGISTERED‟ for the Semester (as specifically required and listed under the
Course Structure of the parent Department), is the no. of Credits allotted to that ix Course, and
represents the Grade Points (GP) corresponding to the Letter Grade awarded for that ith
Course.
Illustration of Computation of SGPA
Credit Point
Course Credit Grade Letter Grade Point
(Credit x Grade)
Course1 3 A 8 3 x 8 = 24
Course2 4 B+ 7 4 x 7 = 28
Course3 3 B 6 3 x 6 = 18
Course4 3 O 10 3 x10= 30
Course5 3 C 5 3 x 5 = 15
Course6 4 B 6 4 x 6 = 24

Thus, SGPA =139/20 =6.95

7.11 The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is a measure of the overall cumulative
performance of a student over all Semesters considered for registration. The CGPA is the ratio
of the Total Credit Points secured by a student in ALL registered Courses in ALL Semesters,
and the Total Number of Credits registered in ALL the Semesters. CGPA is rounded off to TWO
Decimal Places. CGPA is thus computed from the I Year Second Semester onwards, at the end
of each Semester, as per the formula
CGPA = { }/{ } … for all S Semesters registered
(i.e., up to and inclusive of S Semesters, S  2)
where „M‟ is the TOTAL no. of Courses (as specifically required and listed under the Course
st
Structure of the parent Department) the Student has „REGISTERED‟ from the 1 Semester
onwards upto and inclusive of the Semester S (obviously M > N), „j‟ is the Course indicator index
(takes into account all Courses from 1 to S Semesters), is the no. of Credits allotted to the jth
Course, and represents the Grade Points (GP) corresponding to the Letter Grade awarded for
that jth Course. After registration and completion of I Year I Semester however, the SGPA of that
Semester itself may be taken as the CGPA, as there are no cumulative effects.

For CGPA Computation


Semester 1 Semester 2 Semester 3 Semester 4 Semester 5 Semester 6
Credits : 20 Credits : 22 Credits : 25 Credits : 26 Credits : 26 Credits : 25
SGPA : 6.9 SGPA : 7.8 SGPA : 5.6 SGPA : 6.0 SGPA : 6.3 SGPA : 8.0

M.Tech –Thermal Engineering Academic Regulations & Syllabus Page 5


MLR Institute of Technology

Thus, CGPA = 20 x 6.9 + 22 x 7.8 + 25 x 5.6 + 26 x 6.0 + 26 x 6.3 + 25 x 8.0


= 6.73

144
7.12 For Calculations listed in Item 7.6 – 7.10, performance in failed Courses (securing F Grade) will
also be taken into account, and the Credits of such Courses will also be included in the
multiplications and summations.
7.13 No SGPA/CGPA is declared, if a candidate is failed in any one of the courses of a given
semester.
7.14 Conversion formula for the conversion of GPA into indicative percentage is
[CGPA Earned-0.50]x10= % of marks scored

8. EVALUATION OF PROJECT/DISSERTATION WORK
