Key Points About the SRM Grading System
- 10-Point Scale: SRM IST uses a 10-point grading scale, which is the same standard followed by IITs and many central universities under the UGC framework.
- Minimum Passing Criteria: Students must score at least 50% in each subject to pass and receive a grade of C (5 points). Scoring below 50% results in an F grade.
- Credit-Based System: SRM IST follows a credit-based system where each subject has a specific number of credit hours. Subjects with more credits have a proportionally higher impact on your GPA.
- Arrear Policy: An F or Ab grade is considered an arrear. Students with arrears need to clear them in subsequent supplementary examinations.
