Last updated May 10, 2024

The meeting of the executive council of Tribhuvan University held on Mangsir 5 has changes the "bylaws of semester system" and revised the examination and evaluation system. This rule will be applicable from this academic year (2074/75), 2017 admission group onwards and is applicable for all the semester programs of Tribhuvan University (BBS, B.Sc CSIT, BHM, BBA, BBM, B.Sc CSIT, BIT, MBS, BCA, etc). 

Some of the Major changes are:

  1. The passing mark for the end-of-semester External Exam will be 50% (Grade Point 2.7). Therefore, students who achieve 50% or above (Grade Point 2.7) in individual papers will need to obtain a minimum Grade B or a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 3.0 (or 60%) to pass the semester examination.
  2. Make-up exams for students of the academic year 2074/075 (2017 intake group) and onwards will only be conducted within the semester cycle. However, make-up exams will be provided for students who fail in only two subjects in the 8th semester.
  3. Students who fail in the internal evaluation exam will not be considered eligible to participate in the final semester examination.
  4. Tribhuvan University has also started new Grade CGPA from the academic year 2074/75. Students enrolled in the academic year 2074/075 (2017 intake group) and in upcoming years will be graded according to the following CGPA scale.
