IITK Grades

From where I can download Statistical Report Of Grades Awarded published by IIT Kanpur? Give me procedure to download this report from the official website of IITK. In which section, I will get Statistical Report Of Grades Awarded on the website? Can I get this in DOC format, because I don’t have PDF reader in my computer?

Can you provide me the details of the Grades, Semester and Cumulative Performance Index of IITK (Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur)?

[sumit]

One is awarded a letter grade in each course one is registered for, including one’s overall performance in that course in IITK (Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur). 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:-
A: 10
B: 8
C: 6
D: 4
E: 2
F: 0
S: Satisfactory
X: Unsatisfactory
I: Incomplete

If one 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.

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

One getting a D grade in a course may be allowed to repeat it or substitute it by another course, provided:
One’s 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
One 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 supervisors will assess one’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 X for every unsatisfactory 4 units. Thus one registered for 16 units can get one of the following five combinations
SSSS, SSSX, SXXX, XXXX.

If one is on leave for a part of the semester or submits one’s thesis in the middle of a semester, the SPGC may reduce one’s thesis/project units appropriately.

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 student are G1, G2, etc. in courses with corresponding units U1, U2, etc., the SPI is given by:-
SPI= (U1G1 + U2G2 + ......) / (U1 +U2 + ....)
In the above computation, courses with S and X grades are ignored. Similarly, the CPI indicates the cumulative academic performance in all the courses taken including those taken in the current semester.
