13.2 First Class: A student who qualifies for the award of the Degree having passed all
the courses of study of all the eight semesters (six semesters for lateral entry
students) after the commencement of his / her study and securing a CGPA not less
than 6.50 shall be declared to have passed with First Class (not exceeded the total
duration as specified in the Clause 5).
13.3 Second Class: All other students who qualify for the award of the Degree shall be
declared to have passed in Second Class.
13.4 Course Completion Certificate shall be given to a student, provided he / she should
have registered all the courses and also registered for the examinations in those
courses (subject to Clause 6.0 and 7.0).
14. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE EXAMINATION
14.1 A student may, for valid reasons, be granted permission by the Head of the
Department to withdraw from appearing in the examination in any course(s) only
once during the entire duration of the degree programme.
14.2 Withdrawal application shall be valid only, if the student is eligible to write the
examination as per Clause 7 and, if such request for withdrawal is made prior to the

B.E. / B.Tech. Rules and Regulations 2015
Approved in XI Academic Council Meeting held on 14.06.2015 xvii
middle of programme of study, for reasons such as personal accident or
