nature with focus on its applicability to management situations. It may be a case study, a study of a policy
problem, a historical study, development of a new method, comparison of two or more methods, or
formulation and testing a hypothesis relevant to some areas of management. The CIS may be a
field/literature-based study or both.

through PGP Office.
e. Faculty Supervision
The CIS has to be done under the supervision of faculty member(s) chosen by the student. The final
enrolment for CIS will be done along with the confirmed choices of electives for Terms V/VI taken.
Written consent of the faculty supervisor(s) and the proposed title of the CIS are necessary at that

2. Mid-term review (to be submitted before the mid-term exam) 20%
3. Final Report (to be submitted before the final exam) 50%
4. Oral Presentation 20%

The final evaluation of the work will be done by the faculty supervisor(s) on the usual 10-point letter grading
system.

7.4.5 Certificate of Approval

A certificate of approval is to be attached in the final report in the prescribed format (Annexure III).

8. ATTENDANCE
IIM Raipur insists on regular and prompt attendance in classes. Attendance will be taken by the instructor
directly and the students should be attentive at the time of attendance to get their presence recorded in
the attendance register. Unauthorized absence from class/institute will be considered a breach of discipline
and the Institute will be free to take appropriate action in such cases, to an extent up to rustication from the
Programme and from the Institute.

8.1 Under extra-ordinary circumstances, students may obtain leave of absence under the following rules and
procedures:
a. Prior permission must be obtained from the Chairman (PGP) for availing of leave. Students going out
of station or to meet their local guardian for overnight stay must inform Student Affairs Department
and obtain permission from Chairperson (Students Affairs). If a student is found to be out of station
or overnight stay without any intimation, disciplinary action will be taken against him/her up to the
extent of debarring from appearing in the examinations.
b. In case of sickness, students should apply for Medical Leave as mentioned in clause 10.

8.2 Each student is expected to attend a minimum of 80% of classes in each course (i.e. in a 1 credit course, 16
classes out of 20). A grade penalty will be imposed on all the students who do not meet the minimum 80%
attendance requirements in each course in the following manner:
Attendance of Student Grade Penalty
More than or equal to 70% but less than 80% One grade drop (e.g. from A+ to A)
10
 More than or equal to 60% but less than 70% Two grade drops (e.g. from A+ to A-)
More than or equal to 50% but less than 60% Three grade drops (e.g. from A+ to B+)
Less than 50% F grade will be awarded
If a student gets D grade in a particular course and also gets a grade drop due to short attendance, ‘D’ will
become ‘F’ grade. If a student fails to meet the specified attendance requirement, his/her Grade in the
respective course(s) would be lowered by PGP Office after moderation in accordance with the grade penalty
rules laid down above. It is important to note that students having less than 50% attendance in a course due
to any reason including medical problem(s) will be awarded F grade in that course. In other words, minimum
50% attendance is required to be eligible to get a pass grade.

9. MEDICAL LEAVE
Students are expected to attend scheduled classes, orientation sessions, quizzes and examinations during
terms as indicated in the academic calendar. Under severe medical exigencies, students may obtain leave of
absence from classes, by submitting an application to Chairman (PGP) or by sending an email to PGP Office.

In case of sickness, students must produce all related documents including prescription, bills, payment
receipts etc. along with the medical certificate that should be issued and/or countersigned by the Institute
Medical Officer/Doctor (approved) within 2 days from the date of joining. No student shall be allowed to join
the Programme unless he/she produce the medical fitness certificate which is duly endorsed by Institute
approved Medical Officer/Doctor.

The Medical Officer/Doctor will issue the medical certificates only in case of diagnosed illness where they
are convinced that the student is too ill to attend classes. These include hospitalization, communicable
diseases and accidental injuries (fractures, deep trauma, etc.). Each Medical exigency will be examined on
a case-to-case basis by the PGP committee which will approve/disapprove of the leaves due to such exigency.
Any student trying to misuse this will invite administrative action.

Before applying to Chairman (PGP) for leave, the student should contact his/her faculty members to ensure
that he/she is not missing any quizzes or examinations during the leave period. The PGP Office or the
concerned faculty will not be responsible for the student losing any segment of evaluation on account of
medical leave, or 20% of absence. In the event of a student’s sickness during Mid/End term examination, a
make-up examination for the missing subjects shall be conducted subject to the approval of the PGP
Committee. If leave is approved by the PGP Committee for Medical reasons for the examinations, for the
make-up Mid / End Term examination the concerned faculty member(s) has full discretion to increase the
difficulty level, as the student has effectively had more time to prepare.

10. ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE EVALUATION SYSTEM

The following are the guidelines for academic performance evaluation system:

10.1 The evaluation of academic performance is based on varying combinations of the following components:

a. Assignments, Quizzes, Class participation etc.

b. Project Work / Term Paper
c. Mid-term Examination
d. End-term Examination

Components (c) and (d) are mandatory for a full course and contribute to minimum of 50%. No repeat
MID/END Term will be allowed under any circumstances except for medical exigencies or absence due to the
death in the immediate family (parents, spouse, siblings, and children), in which case, the candidate may be

11
 given an opportunity to repeat course(s) in the next academic session, or appear in special examination if so
permitted by the PGP Committee. The Institute will decide all such cases on case-to-case basis at the end of
the academic term or session. The proportionate relative weightage of the other components for a specific
course will be at the discretion of the instructor. The evaluation scheme for every course will be conveyed
to the students at the beginning of the course along with the course outline by the course instructor.
Attendance is must for Mid and End Term examinations for every student in each term, failing which he/she
will be debarred from the registration for next term. Such students are required to continue from that term
along with the next batch.

Performance evaluation system:

A ten-point grading scale with corresponding letter grades as following will be used:

Letter grades A+ A A- B+ B B- C+ C C- D F
Grade Point 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

The Term Grade Point Average (TGPA) will be calculated by computing the sum of grade points in respective
courses multiplied by their respective credits, and dividing it by the total credits for all courses in the term.
Similarly, the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) will be calculated at the end of each year as a
composite index of the academic performance of the student up to that term in the Programme. TGPA is an
indicator of student performance for a term, whereas CGPA is an indicator of student performance in an
academic year.

The Faculty Member will assign a numeric score as well as a letter grade to each student, which will be the
weighted sum of component scores. PGP committee will moderate the grades of all courses to ensure
adherence to the grading guidelines and ensure consistency of grading across sections. The right of
moderation would be used by the PGP committee (for upward or downward revision of grades only under
exceptional circumstances (i.e., in case of major deviation from the grading guidelines)). Faculty members
are required to follow the following guidelines:

Letter grade A (‘A-, A, A+) should not exceed 30 percent

Letter grade D & Letter grade C (C-, C, C+) grade should be at least 10 percent.
A student who scores less than 30 (absolute score) will be given letter grade ‘F’

10.2 A student is required to achieve the minimum standards as prescribe below:

a. In order to qualify for promotion to the second year, the student’s CGPA at the end of the first year
must not be less than 3.50. Further, no repeat exam will be conducted for any course except under
medical exigencies. Moreover, for continuation in the programme and/or to qualify for promotion, at
no stage in the first year shall the student accumulate:
o F grade in more than two courses; or
o D grade in any course if he/she has obtained F grade in two courses; or
o D grade in more than two courses if he/she has obtained F grade in one course; or
o D grade in more than four courses if he/she has not obtained F grade in any course

b. Moreover, for continuation in the programme and/or to qualify, at no stage in the second year shall
the student accumulate:
o F grade in more than one course; or
o D grade in any course if he/she has obtained F grade in one course; or
o D grade in more than two courses

For the purpose of the criteria in ‘a’ and ‘b’, an F or D grade in any course will be treated as a full F or D
irrespective of the credit weightage of the course. Failure to achieve the prescribed minimum standards of
academic performance will result in the student’s termination from the programme.
12
10.3 For students participating in International exchange Programme, the CGPA shall be calculated as follows:
For Exchange Programme students, the student will study at a foreign university/business school under
Student Exchange Programme for one term in the second year. The award of grades will be on the basis of
courses taken at IIM Raipur in FIVE Terms and courses taken in the foreign university/business school for
ONE term. CGPA will be calculated for all SIX Terms by considering the evaluation at foreign university
(equivalent grade) and GPA of the FIVE terms at IIM Raipur.

10.4 If a student fails to qualify any course during the International Student Exchange Programme, then F grade
obtained in a course(s) will be considered for the purpose of academic evaluation at IIM Raipur. Separate
detailed guidelines for International Exchange Programme are available in the International Exchange
Programme Manual.
10.5 If a student is terminated from the programme (on account of failure to achieve minimum standards of
academic performance as specified in clause 10.2b) in the first year or the second year, he/she may file an
appeal to the Director (Chairman, Academic Council), who in consultation with the Academic Council may
reconsider his/her case for readmission in the program from the next academic year. The decision of the
Director on such an appeal will be final. However, the student has the provision to appeal only once for each
of the two years. The student will have to repeat the entire year. All the terms and conditions regarding
admission will be applied as per the prevailing policies at the time of re-joining.
10.6 In case a student is unable to fulfil the conditions for continuation in the Programme or award of degree on
being unable to achieve the required CGPA (as specified in clause 10.2a) or due to medical exigency (clause
9) he/she may request the PGP Committee for a review. The PGP Committee may consider the cases of those
students who fail to meet the conditions specified above on account of extenuating circumstances and take
appropriate decision(s), leading to:
a. The Chairman (PGP)/PGP Committee may permit a student to repeat course(s), term(s) or year in the
next academic year.
b. The Chairman (PGP)/PGP Committee may expel a student from the Programme at any time if his/her
conduct is detrimental to the educational process of the Institute.
c. A student who is expelled or is required to leave the Institute (in 1st year or 2nd year) on any ground
may file an appeal to the Director (Chairman, Academic Council), who in consultation with the
Academic Council may like to re-consider his/her case and take a decision accordingly. The decision of
the Director on such an appeal will be final and binding. However, the student has the provision to
appeal only once for each of the two years.
d. If a student is not eligible to receive the degree, the Chairman (PGP) may recommend repetitions of
course(s)/term(s)/year in the next academic year (based on the overall academic record of the
student). All decision by the PGP committee in such cases would be subject to the approval of the
Academic Council.
e. Students who have been awarded an F grade (or accumulate 2 D grades) as well as a CGPA of less than
4.5 at the end of any term in the program will be asked to withdraw from all student committees on
campus.

10.7 Counselling services
