Civil Engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction

and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads,

bridges, canals, dams and buildings. Civil Engineering is the second-oldest engineering (Ref:

Wikipedia) discipline after Military Engineering which is defined to distinguish Non-military

Engineering from Military Engineering. It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines

including Architectural Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering,

Control Engineering, Structural Engineering, Earthquake Engineering, Transportation

Engineering, Forensic Engineering, Urban Engineering, Water Resources Engineering, Materials

Engineering, Wastewater Engineering, Offshore Engineering, Facade Engineering, Coastal

Engineering, Quantity Surveying. Civil Engineering takes place in the public sector from

municipal through to Local & National Governments and in the private sector from individual

homeowners through to International companies. In other words, it is highly demanded in all

those mentioning fields and its graduates are highly sought after by potential employers.

(Ref. The Rajshahi University Academic Ordinance, 2013 for B.Sc. in Engineering Curriculum of

the Affiliated Colleges/Institutes, article no: 13), unit=100 marks.

2. The Grading System

The letter grade system shall be used to assess the performance of the students as shown in Table-

2 (Ref. The Rajshahi University Academic Ordinance, 2013 for B.Sc. in Engineering Curriculum

of the Affiliated Colleges/Institutes, Article no. 14.1):

Table-2:Letter Grade System

80% or above A+ 4.00 4.00

75% to less than 80% A 3.75 4.00

70% to less than 75% A- 3.50 4.00

65% to less than 70% B+ 3.25 4.00

60% to less than 65% B 3.00 4.00

55% to less than 60% B- 2.75 4.00

50% to less than 55% C+ 2.50 4.00

45% to less than 50% C 2.25 4.00

40% to less than 45% D 2.00 4.00

less than 40% F 0.00 4.00

Incomplete I 0.00 4.00

A letter grade ‘I’ ((incomplete) shall be awarded for courses in the odd semester which continue through

to the even semester.

A Grade Point Average (GPA) shall be calculated for each semester as follows:

4

n

1i

C

n

1ii

Gi

C

GPA

(i)

Where, n is the number of courses offered during the semester, Ci is the number of credits allotted to the

i-th course and Gi is the grade point earned for that course.

Illustration: Suppose a student obtained following grade in Part-1 odd semester:

Code No Subject Credit Letter

Grade

PHY 1111 Physics-1 4 C 2.25

CHEM 1113 Chemistry-1 4 A+ 4.00

MATH1115 Mathematics-1 4 B- 2.75

TE 1111 Introduction to Textile Engineering 6 B+ 3.25

CE 1112 Engineering Drawing 2 A+ 4.00

Therefore, GPA in the part-1 odd semester= 4 2.25 +4 4 +4 2.75 +6 3.25 +2(4)

4+4+4+6+2= 3.175

And let’s assume that his/her GPA in Part-1 even semester is 3.130

A Yearly Grade Point Average (YGPA) shall be calculated for each academic year as follows:

n

1j

Cj

2

1jj

Gj

C

YGPA (ii)

Therefore, YGPA of part-1 Examination = 20 3.175 +20(3.130)

20+20= 3.1525

So, the YGPA is 3.152. (As per Ref. AC#242, Agendum 49, Syndicate 468 date: 08/10/2016 both GPA

and YGPA will be calculated upto 3 digits after the decimal point without any rounding.)

The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) gives the cumulative performance of students from the

first year upto the end of the fourth year to which it refers, and will be calculated as follows:

m

1kCk

m

1kk

Gk

C

CGPA (iii)

where, m is the total number of years being considered, Ck is the total number of credits registered during

the k-th year and Gk is the YGPA earned in that particular year.

5

Similarly let us assume that, the YGPA of the student for the all 4 Parts are as follows:

Year Credit YGPA

Part-I 40 2.770

Part-II 40 3.470

Part-III 40 2.960

Part-IV 40 3.330

Then his/her CGPA of four academic years is

13.340(3.33)(2.96) 40(3.47) 40(2.77) 40

CGPA Therefore,40404040

(CGPA will be rounded off upto the second place of decimal for reporting. If the 3rd

digit is greater than

equal to 5, the second digit will be rounded up. Again, if the 3rd

digit is less than 5 it will be discarded. For

instance, CGPA= 2.212 shall be rounded as CGPA=2.21. However, if the CGPA is 2.215 it shall be

rounded up as 2.22).

3. Earned Credit

The courses in which a student has obtained minimum ‘D’ in ‘Theoretical courses’ and ‘C’ in ‘Laboratory

courses & Board Viva-Voice’ or higher grade will be counted as credits earned by the student. Any course

in which a student has obtained ‘F’ grade will not be counted towards his/her earned credit. ‘F’ grade will

not be counted for GPA calculation but will stay permanently on the Grade sheet and Transcripts.

4. Marks and Credits distribution for B.Sc. in Civil Engineering

The distribution of marks and credits in various Definitions of Disciplines in the ordinance for B.Sc.

6. Types of Courses

The courses included in undergraduate curricula are divided into several groups as follows:

6.1 Core Courses

In each discipline a number of courses will be identified as core courses which form the

nucleus of the respective bachelor’s degree programme. A student has to complete all of the

designated core courses for his discipline.

6.2 Pre-requisite Courses

Some of the core courses are identified as pre-requisite courses. A pre-requisite course is one

which is required to be completed before some other course(s) can be taken. Any such course,

on which one or more subsequent courses build up, may be offered in each of the two Regular

Terms.

6.3 Optional Courses

Apart from the core courses, students will have to complete a number of courses which are

optional in nature in that students will have some choice to choose the required number of

courses from a specified group/ number of courses.

7.Course Offering and Instruction

The courses to be offered in a particular term will be announced and published in the Course

Catalogue along with a tentative Term Schedule before the end of the previous term. Whether a

course is to be offered in any term will be decided by the respective BUGS. Respective

departments may arrange to offer one or more pre-requisite or core courses in any term depending

on the number of students who dropped or failed the course in the previous term.

8. Rules for Promotion (Ref. The Rajshahi University Academic Ordinance, 2013 for B.Sc. in

Engineering Curriculum of the Affiliated Colleges/Institutes, Article no. 15):
