• CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average): Cumulative weighted performance across all completed semesters.

• Degree Classification: Typically, a CGPA of >=6.5 qualifies for First Class, with >= 7.5 (and clearing all courses in the first attempt) qualifying for First Class with Distinction.

6. Institute Code of Conduct & Mandatory Policies

• Anti-Ragging Compliance: Complete zero-tolerance policy following AICTE/UGC guidelines. Every student must submit an online anti-ragging undertaking at the start of each session.
