Grading System In IIT Kanpur

A student is awarded a letter grade in each course he/she is registered for, including his/her overall performance in that course. There are nine letter grades: A, B, C, D, E, F, S, X and I. The correspondence between grades and points (on a 10-point scale) / rating is given below:-

Grade Letter

A: 10,
B: 8,
C: 6,
D: 4,
E: 2,
F: 0,
S: Satisfactory,
X: Unsatisfactory,
I: Incomplete


If a student does not complete all the requirements for a course for a genuine reason, the instructor may award grade I (Incomplete).

An I grade must be converted by the instructor to a regular letter grade by the last date for such conversion specified in the Academic Calendar, failing which it is automatically converted to an F grade.

A student getting an E or F grade in a course must either repeat it or substitute it by another course as suggested by DPGC.

A student getting a D grade in a course may be allowed to repeat it or substitute it by another course, provided: his/her CPI is less than the prescribed minimum and the student is allowed to continue in the programme as per provision in the Academic Performance Requirement, and he/she has completed all the courses as prescribed by the department

In case a course is repeated or substituted, the old grade will also appear on the transcript although it will not be taken into account while computing the CPI/SPI.

Seminars will be graded as satisfactory (S) or unsatisfactory (X) and will carry zero units for credit.

The grade S or X will be awarded for D.IIT., M.Tech., Ph.D. project/thesis units as follows:

At the end of the semester, the project/thesis supervisor(s) will assess the student's progress towards the project/thesis work during the semester and will award the grade S for each set of 4 units if the work is satisfactory and a X for every unsatisfactory 4 units.

Thus a student registered for 16 units can get one of the following five combinations
SSSS, SSSX, SXXX, XXXX.
