Academic Status for Graduate Students:


  • A first year graduate student is subject to dismissal without first being put on probation if his performance falls below 2.50 in his first semester results.
  • Any first year graduate student with a first semester GPA (SGPA) between 2.50 and 3.00 shall be placed on probation and will be subject to dismissal if he fails to achieve a semester GPA of 3.00 in the next semester.
  • If, however, a student on probation for the first time achieves during the next semester, a SGPA of 3.00 or above but his CGPA still falls below 3.00, the relevant DGC may place the student on final probation if it finds that there is reason to believe that the student will attain a CGPA of 3.00 or above in the third semester.
  • A graduate student may be put on probation for a second time provided it is ascertained that s/he has successfully come out of the previous probation. However, where a student who has been placed on a second probation fails to achieve a CGPA of 3.00 in the next semester, s/he shall be dismissed.
  • No candidate subject to dismissal may expect discretionary probation as a matter of right.
