Grades range from O to E and if you have secured an F grade, then you have to reappear for the exams. You can also get grace marks of 5 if you fail in one subject or score less in theory as well as practical subjects.
For MBA the eligibility is quite different. You need to fulfill the attendance criterion i.e 85% and 50% in internal assessments, otherwise, you will not be allowed to appear for the exams. Also, HOD can conduct the re- internal assessments so that the students securing less can score better.
