Retaking Courses

  • A student can retake a course if s/he receives a passing grade equivalent to a GPA below 2.50 (on a scale of 4.00).
  • If a student receives ‘F’, ‘I’, ‘W’ or ‘UW’ grades in a particular course, s/he must retake the course in the immediate semester the course is offered.
    o Rules for retaking courses with ‘F’ grade:
    • A student is allowed to retake any course only once.
    • The new earned grade will be displayed alongside the ‘F’ grade and in most cases will not replace the ‘F’. However, the newly earned grade will be taken into account while calculating the CGPA.
    • A student is allowed to have a maximum of 4 (four) ‘F’ grades in the undergraduate program and 2 (two) ‘F’ grades in the graduate program.
    • From the 5th ‘F’ grade (undergraduate)/ 3rd ‘F’ grade (graduate) onwards, the grade ‘F’ will be taken into account while calculating the CGPA. (Excessive ‘F’ grades in the transcript may result in the CGPA falling below 2.50 and lead to termination from the university.)
    • If the ‘FD’ grade is awarded by any disciplinary committee for any disciplinary violation, it cannot be replaced or removed by a new grade under any circumstances.
