Grading System - B. S. Nautical Technology
TMI uses a grading system prescribed by BITS, Pilani. Depending upon the total

number of units, depending upon the number of class hours allocated towards it.

TMI follows a Relative Grading System, where the grade allotted is not only dependent
upon the marks obtained by the student, but also the performance of all students in the
class.
Semester Grade Point Average
Using the number of units and grade points achieved in each
subject, a weighted average grade point is computed at the end of each semester for each
student. This composite numerical grade is the Semester Grade Point Average (GPA).
Cumulative Grade Point Average
The CGPA is a single composite measure of a student's performance
to date at the institute. It is calculated by taking the average of all individual Semester
Grade Point Averages.
Other Information
- An 'E' grade is considered a 'failing grade' and a student is required to repeat all
assessment components for that particular course.
- Promotion to the next semester is not
automatic and will be granted only at the end of the complete assessment for the
existing semester, subject to the prevailing policy of the institute and the academic
regulations prescribed by BITS in this regard.
- On successfully completing the entire course of study,
students who have earned a CGPA of at least 4.5 will receive a Bachelor of Science
Degree from BITS, Pilani.
