Comprehensive overview of IIUC's academic system, including credit structure, grading system, and academic calendar.
To bring the academic system to international standard, IIUC follows Open Credit Hour System (OCHS) based are required to complete successfully the total number of credit hours stipulated in the program requirements in order to graduate. The number of credit hours assigned to each course denotes the academic load that a student carries while registering for that course. Therefore, a course that carries three credit hours normally has three contact hours per week. However, there are courses, which do not tally with the contact hours or for which no credit hours have been assigned. Such courses are normally not a part of the main curriculum of the department, but of the University Requirement Courses (URC) such as language courses etc.
IIUC follows the uniform Grading System for evaluating the academic performance of the students as given below.
| SL | Marks(%) | Letter Grade | Grade Points | Remarks/Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 80% or above | A+ | 4.00 | Excellent |
| 2 | 75% to less than 80% | A | 3.75 | Very Good |
| 3 | 70% to less than 75% | A- | 3.50 | |
| 4 | 65% to less than 70% | B+ | 3.25 | Good |
| 5 | 60% to less than 65% | B | 3.00 | |
| 6 | 55% to less than 60% | B- | 2.75 | Satisfactory |
| 7 | 50% to less than 55% | C+ | 2.50 | |
| 8 | 45% to less than 50% | C | 2.25 | Pass |
| 9 | 40% to less than 45% | D | 2.00 | |
| 10 | less than 40% | F | 0.00 | Fail |
The Grade Point Average (GPA) is computed by dividing the total grade points earned by the number of credit hours attempted in a given semester. The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is computed by dividing the total grade points earned by the total number of credit hours attempted at the University up to a particular semester. on a number of assignments, quizzes, class tests, case study and midterm examination etc that are conducted throughout the semester.
IIUC evaluates the students' performance as follows:
| SL | Evaluation Component | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Attendance | 10% |
| 2 | Class Test and Assignments | 10% |
| 3 | Midterm Examination | 30% |
| 4 | Final Examination | 50% |
