VIT rules at a glance

Q: What is the minimum attendance at VIT?

75% in every course. Below that you can be debarred from the FAT for that course.

Q: What is the VIT grade scale?

S=10, A=9, B=8, C=7, D=6, E=5, F=0 and N=0 (not cleared). Your GPA/CGPA is the credit-weighted average of these points.

Q: What happens if my CGPA drops below 4.0 at VIT?

A CGPA below 4.0 typically places a student on academic probation. Check the current regulations for the exact thresholds and conditions.

Q: What is a Re-FAT at VIT?

A re-Final Assessment Test lets eligible students re-take the FAT under specified conditions (for example certain grades or genuine absences), as set out in the regulations.

Q: How do I convert CGPA to a percentage at VIT?

The commonly used conversion is percentage = CGPA × 10. Confirm the exact formula on your transcript or with the exam section.

S	10	≥ 90	Outstanding, pass
A	9	≥ 80	Pass
B	8	≥ 70	Pass
C	7	≥ 60	Pass
D	6	≥ 55	Pass
E	5	≥ 50	Pass (lowest)
F	0	≥ 0	Failed, re-register the course
N	0	·	Component not cleared / debarred / absent in FAT, re-register

Pass grades: S, A, B, C, D, E, P. Special: W (Course registration withdrawn); U (Audit course successfully completed); P (Passed a Pass/Fail course (not counted in CGPA)).

Attendance

Minimum

75% per course (100% expected)

If you fall short

Falling below 75% in a course means you are 'debarred' from the next exam component. Being debarred from the FAT results in an 'N' grade. You must re-register the course and clear it with a performance grade.

Relaxation

Students with CGPA ≥ 9.00 may receive an attendance relaxation, but it is withdrawn the moment CGPA falls below 9.00 and never extends to FAT eligibility.

GPA & CGPA

GPA

GPA = Σ(Cᵢ × GPᵢ) / Σ Cᵢ (per semester)
Weighted average of the grade points across all courses registered in a semester: each course's grade point times its credits, divided by total credits registered.

CGPA

CGPA = Σ(Cᵢ × GPᵢ) / Σ Cᵢ (across all semesters since the first)
Rounded to two decimal places. 'F' grade credits ARE included; Pass/Fail, audit, Minor and Honours courses are excluded from CGPA.

Percentage

% equivalent = CGPA × 10 (e.g. a CGPA of 8.75 ≈ 87.5%)

Academic standing & credits

CGPA < 4

A CGPA below 4.0 at any time means you are advised to register for a maximum of 16 credits. Continued failure to improve can lead to cancellation of studentship (reviewed by a Dean of Academics committee).

Credit limits

Per-semester minimum/maximum credit limits are fixed by the regulations; the final registration may drop below the minimum to complete the programme. Total credits required to graduate are programme-specific.

Missing an exam

Re-CAT

Missing a CAT forfeits its weightage. There is no general Re-CAT. A Re-CAT-I is allowed only for specific cases (approved internships abroad, academy fellowships, placement activities, hospitalization), and only if the attendance requirement is met.

Re-FAT

A Re-FAT is granted only under extraordinary conditions (in-patient hospitalization beyond a week, or death of a family member). You apply to the Vice Chancellor within 14 calendar days of the FAT with proper evidence. An 'N' grade is converted to a performance grade after the Re-FAT (Section 9.11).
