Appendix-D
The Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act, 2012 has come into effect from the 29th June 2012.
Clause (a) of the Section 10 of the said Act, amending Section 38 of the principal Act Institutes of
Technology Act, 1961, as amended from time to time, and inserting clause (m), says that until the first
Statutes and the Ordinances in relation to the Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras Hindu
University), Varanasi are made under the said Act, the Statutes and Ordinances as are applicable to
the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur immediately before the commencement of the Institutes of
Technology (Amendment) Act, 2012, shall apply to the Indian Institute of Technology (Banaras
Hindu University), Varanasi with the necessary modifications and adaptations in so far as they are not
inconsistent with the provisions of the said Act. Further, the newly inserted sub-clause (n) in Section
38 of the Principal Act says that notwithstanding anything contained in the Institutes of Technology
(Amendment) Act, 2012, any student who joined classes of the Indian Institute of Technology,
Banaras Hindu University on or after the commencement of 2006-2007 academic session or
completed the courses on or after 2009-2010 academic session shall for the purpose of clause (b) of
sub-section (1) of section 6, be deemed to have pursued a course of study in the Indian Institute of
Technology (Banaras Hindu University), Varanasi provided that such student has not already been
awarded degree or diploma for the same course of study.
2. Students and research scholars admitted prior to the academic session 2012-13 in the Departments
of erstwhile Faculty of Engineering and Technology of the Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu
University were admitted and academically administered as per the Ordinances governing the
UGD/IDD/IMD, M.Tech./M.Pharm. and the Ph.D. ordinances of the Banaras Hindu University. As
there are major differences in the corresponding Ordinances of the IITK, which are now applicable on
IIT (BHU), it would be legally correct if the said lot of students are continued to be governed by the
set of Ordinances which were applicable on them at the time of their admission. However, consequent
upon the said act coming into force, the said Ordinances are technically not applicable as such and
accordingly there is a need of their adoption by the IIT (BHU), after appropriate
customization and adaptation, through a Transitory Ordinance. Accordingly, following transitory
ordinance is proposed:

G1, G2 etc in courses with corresponding credits C1, C2 etc, the SPI is given by
SPI = (C1G1 + C2 G2 + ) / (C1 + C2 + )
The CPI indicates the overall academic performance of a student in all the courses registered up to
and including the latest completed semester/summer term. It is computed in the same manner as the
SPI, considering all the courses (say, n), and is given by
CG
CPI =
C

10. Academic Performance Requirements:

A) Computation of the Semester Performance Index (SPI) and Cumulative Performance Index (CPI)
The SPI is an indicator of the overall academic performance of a student in all the courses he/she has
registered during a given semester. It is computed as follows: If the grades awarded to a student are
G1, G2 etc in courses with corresponding credits C1, C2 etc, the SPI is given by
SPI = (C1G1 + C2 G2 + ) / (C1 + C2 + )
The CPI indicates the overall academic performance of a student in all the courses registered up to
and including the latest completed semester/summer term. It is computed in the same manner as the
SPI, considering all the courses (say, n), and is given by
CG
CPI =
C
Whenever a student is permitted to repeat or substitute a course, the new letter grade replaces the old
letter grade in the computation of the CPI, but, both the grades appear on his/her Grade Report.
B) The minimum CPI requirement for continuing in the programme or for graduation is 7 .0
C) In the first semester in which the student registers, the minimum SPI may be relaxed to 6.0 and
the student may be allowed to continue in the following semester on the recommendations of the
DPGC and with the approval of the SPGC.
D) If a Ph.D. student secures a CPI between 6.5 and 7.0, he/she may be allowed to continue in the
following semester on the recommendation of the DPGC and with the approval of the SPGC.
E) A student will normally not be allowed to continue in the Ph.D. programme if
i) his/her CPI is below 6.5 (below 6.0 in the case of first semester student).
ii) his/her CPI is below 7.0 in two consecutive semesters (however, SPGC may
consider continuation as per provisions of 10.D).
iii) he/she obtains two Fs in different courses of the same semester or two Fs in the
same course over different semesters.
30
29

11. Comprehensive Examination of Ph.D. Students:

A) Students registered in the Ph.D. programme must pass a comprehensive examination designed to
test the overall comprehension of the student in the various subjects. A student can appear in the
comprehensive examination only after he/she has completed the course requirements and satisfied
the minimum specified CPI requirement.
B) Students admitted to the 2012-13 Session, with B.Tech., M.Sc., M.A. or M.Phil. degrees or parttime students with M.Tech. or equivalent degrees may appear in the comprehensive examination
not before two semesters, but must pass it before the end of the fifth semester after their first
registration. The above time limits are exclusive of the period of sanctioned leave, if any.
Students admitted with M.Tech. or equivalent degrees may appear in the comprehensive examination
earliest at the end of the first semester, but must pass it before the end of the fourth semester after
their first registration. The above time limits are exclusive of the period of sanctioned leave, if any.
This sub-clause does not override the minimum residency requirement.
C) The examination will be in oral form but may be supplemented with a written part.
D) The comprehensive examination board will consist of at least three but not more than five faculty
members of the student's department/Inter Disciplinary Programme (IDP) plus one faculty
member from outside the department/IDP (discipline, in the case of Humanities & Social
Sciences). There may be two faculty members from outside the department/IDP (discipline, in
the case of Humanities & Social Sciences) in case thesis supervisor is from outside the
department/IDP (discipline, in the case of Humanities & Social Sciences). Constitution of the
board will be proposed by the DPGC in consultation with the Head of the
Department/Coordinator and the thesis supervisor, if already assigned, and will be forwarded to
the Chairperson, SPGC who will send it to the Chairman, Senate for approval. The thesis
supervisor of the student, if already assigned, will be the convener of the board. In case no
thesis supervisor is assigned, the Convener, DPGC will be the convener of the board.
E) A student will be considered to have passed the comprehensive examination if all except at the
most one member of the board are satisfied with student's performance in the examination. The
report of the comprehensive examination must be sent to the Chairperson, SPGC within 8 weeks
of the date of approval of the board.
F) When a student has not passed the comprehensive examination in his/her first attempt, a second
comprehensive examination will be conducted by the same board that was constituted earlier
unless otherwise approved by the Chairman, Senate on the recommendation of the DPGC and
the SPGC. A student will not be allowed to appear in the comprehensive examination more
than twice. All such cases shall be brought to the notice of the Senate.

Academically deficient students shall be allowed to continue with the academic load that they are
comfortable with. The normal academic load is defined (as in Annexure I) to be around 59 credits per
semester. A student may register for roughly a 20% under/over-load in a semester. An average student
may finish the program in 8/10 semesters while a good student may finish the programme in 7/9
semesters. The minimum residence time is 7/9 semesters, subject to the availability of Faculty for
running additional courses in a given Semester. The maximum duration of the academic programme
may be 1.5 times the duration under normal circumstances (=12/15 semesters).
The student may drop a course up to one week prior to the last day of classes. Of course, this is
permitted only if the student does not go below the minimum academic load.
The various categories under which a student may be placed based on their academic performance
are:
Warning: A student will be placed on Warning if the number of credits cleared by the student is less
than 75% of the cumulative normal load up to that point. This excludes the semesters that the student
may have dropped. The student on warning will do the following:

He/She shall register for all CORE/compulsory courses (if available) in which the letter grade F is
obtained, either as a regular course or as a Self Study course
He/She shall not hold any office in the Hostel Committees, Students Gymkhana or any other
organization/body while on Warning.
Submit the required undertaking signed by the parents
Any other term(s)/condition(s) laid down by SUGC/Senate
Termination: A student will be placed on Termination if the student is on Warning and if he/she fails
to acquire at least 50% of the cumulative normal load up to that point. This excludes the semesters
that the student may have dropped.
