Frequently Asked Questions on Cumulative Average Points (CAP)
System
Q) Which batch of students come
under the CAP system?
A) Students admitted from 98/99 academic year
onwards.
Q) What is the equivalent of the grade
point and the grade currently used?
A) A+ = 5, A = 5, A- = 4.5, B+ = 4,
B = 3.5, B- = 3, C+ = 2.5, C = 2, D+ = 1.5, D = 1, F = 0.
Q) How is the CAP calculated from the
grade point?
A) CAP = [Sum of (grade point x
modular credit)]/sum[modular credits]. Each module is equivalent to 3 modular
credits. The calculation includes all the modules taken from the first semester
of the first year up to the current stage.
Q) Will attempting a module
multiple times or taking more modules required for graduation affect the CAP?
A) All attempts for all modules are
used in calculating the CAP.
Q) How is the CAP used to
determine the honours classification?
A) There are certain cut-offs of CAP
for each class of honours. This is determined by the Board of Examiners.
Q) How does a student come under
the warning list?
A) A student will be given an
academic warning if his Cumulative Average Point is below 2.0 in a semester
including the special term*.
*Only applicable to students who take more than one
module during special term.
Q) How will a student come under
the probational list?
A) A student will be placed on
academic probation if his Cumulative Average Point is below 2.0 in a semester
for TWO consecutive semesters including the special term*.
*Only applicable to students who take more than one
module during special term.
Q) How may a student be refused
re-admission?
A) A student may be refused
re-admission to his course of study if his Cumulative Average Point is below
2.0 in a semester for three consecutive semesters including the special term*.
*Only applicable to students who take more than one
module during special term.
Q) How is it possible for a
student to pass all modules and still not qualify for graduation?
A) Since D and D+ are probationary
grades, their grade points are only 1 and 1.5 respectively. Hence a student
with mostly D and D+ will get a CAP under 2. A student requires a CAP of at
least 2 to qualify for graduation.
Q) If a student was formerly
from the old system and slows down, will he come under the CAP system?
A) No, the CAP system goes by the
year the student is being admitted, not by the stage he is currently in.
