Grading System Overview
A comprehensive guide to the SRM Institute of Science and Technology evaluation framework, covering internal assessments, external examinations, and grade point calculations.
Theory Courses
Theory assessment involves continuous internal evaluation through Cycle Tests (CTs), assignments, and surprise tests, followed by a summative semester-end examination.
Practical / Labs
Practical assessment prioritizes performance in the laboratory, records maintenance, and models, with a moderate weightage for the final practical exam.

Relative vs Absolute Grading
SRM Institute of Science and Technology follows a hybrid relative grading system. While the base criteria mapped above represents absolute performance thresholds, grade boundaries for specific batches or courses may shift slightly depending on the statistical metrics (mean and standard deviation) of the class performance.
