ACADEMIC STANDING, RETAKE EXAMINATION / REPEATING


In each term Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) will be computed to determine the academic standing of the student in the program. All courses taken by a student for credit and the grades earned thereon are included in computing the final CGPA. Since passing of all courses individually is a degree requirement, a student failing to secure pass marks (40%) in any course for any reason whatsoever must retake the examination of that course in the following year(s). 3

A student wishing to improve his grade may also be allowed to retake the term-end examination of the course in the following year(s). Improvement of grade is permissible only for grade B and below B under the present grading system. However, retake examinations for mid-term, tutorials, etc. may be allowed before the completion of classschedule of a course only at the discretion of the course teacher and for some specified reasons. The result obtained in the retake examination is substituted only if it is passing mark/grade and better than the previous one. A student can retake at best 6 courses during the entire MBM enrolment. Retake in more than 6 courses would automatically expel the student from the MBM program. Generally a student can retake an examination of a course only once. Extraordinary cases (for retake) may be recommended by the Institute to the National University for consideration. A student failing to maintain minimum required class attendance of 75% will not be allowed to sit for the term-end examination of a course and will have to repeat the course (along with required attendance afresh) in subsequent years. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PROGRAM Temporary withdrawal from the program must be with permission from National University on the basis of recommendation from BIBM. Such withdrawal would be permissible once only on request from a student after completion of at least the first two terms. Students with good academic standing (minimum CGPA of 3.00) only will be allowed to apply for withdrawal from the program. A student temporarily withdrawing must, however, complete the program within a period of 5 academic years from the date of initial registration. UNFAIR MEANS Students are strictly forbidden from adopting unfair means in class assignments, tutorial and surprise tests, mid-term, term-end examinations, project work, term paper, report writing and dissertation writing. The following among others would be considered as adoption of unfair means: a. Communicating with fellow students in the examinations; 4

B. Copying from another student's script/ report/paper; c. Copying from printed matter, hand written manuscripts, writing from desk or palm of a hand; d. Possessing any document with a malafide intent, whether used or not; e. Approaching a teacher directly or indirectly to influence a grade; and f. Any unruly behavior which disrupts academic program. If adoption of unfair means is detected, at the discretion of the teacher, the student concerned may be given an 'F' grade for that assignment, surprise test, paper, report, examination or for that course. Adoption of unfair means may also result in the dismissal of the student from the Institute and from the National University. APPEAL AGAINST GRADE Although it is generally acknowledged that an individual teacher is the best judge of a student's performance in a given course, a student may occasionally consider a grade to have been unfairly assigned. In such cases, the student may wish to file a formal appeal against the grade with the National University through BIBM. STUDENT CONDUCT Each student is responsible for knowing the rules, regulations, academic requirements and disciplinary policies of BIBM. He/she is expected to behave in accordance with good moral values, and the rules and regulations of BIBM either on campus or outside. Politics is completely prohibited in the campus. Any form of indiscipline may attract penalties including expulsion from the program. COUNSELING AND GUIDANCE A significant feature of the education system at the Institute is the close contact between the student and the faculty members.
