Gradebook Built for CBCS, GTU, and UGC Standards
Indian universities running CBCS need a gradebook that understands 10-point scales, ATKT promotion rules, and CCE evaluation patterns. Bangladesh institutions need UGC 4-point grading with class-of-degree calculations. OpenEduCat ships pre-configured scales for all three systems so your registrar does not have to build them from scratch.
Grading Scales
Pre-configured grade bands shipped with the India & Bangladesh module. No manual setup required.
| Grade | Points / Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| O (Outstanding) | 10.0, 85 to 100% | Top band in the CBCS 10-point scale. A student scoring 87/100 in Data Structures earns 10 quality points per credit. |
| A+ (Excellent) | 9.0, 75 to 84% | Second band. A student with 78% in Thermodynamics earns 9 quality points multiplied by the subject credit hours. |
| A (Very Good) | 8.0, 65 to 74% | A score of 68/100 falls here. For a 4-credit subject, that is 32 quality points toward the semester GPA. |
| B+ (Good) | 7.0, 55 to 64% | Mid-range performance. Many engineering programs see the bulk of students in the B+ to A range. |
| B (Above Average) | 6.0, 45 to 54% | Just above the borderline. A student at 46% is one grace mark away from dropping to C. |
| C (Pass) | 5.0, 40 to 44% | Minimum passing grade in CBCS. A student scoring 36/40 in internals and borderline in externals may need grace marks to reach this band. |
What the India & Bangladesh Module Does
Country-specific features that go beyond the core gradebook engine.
ATKT: Allowed to Keep Terms
Students with up to 3 active backlogs are promoted to the next semester instead of being held back. The system tracks each backlog, registers supplementary exams, and swaps the active GPA line when the student clears. A registrar at a Mumbai university told us this alone saved 200 hours per semester of manual tracking.
Auto Grace Marks
When a student scores within 4 marks of the pass threshold, the system automatically adds the minimum grace needed at publish time. A student scoring 37/100 (pass mark 40) receives 3 grace marks to reach exactly 40. The grace count is recorded on the transcript for audit.
CCE Evaluation (Formative + Summative)
CBCS programs split assessment into Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation. The India module computes FA (Formative Assessment) and SA (Summative Assessment) weighted averages separately before aggregating. Default template: Mid-Sem 30% + End-Sem 70%.
GTU 10-Point Scale
Gujarat Technical University uses its own 10-point variant with different band boundaries. The GTU_10PT scale is pre-loaded so GTU-affiliated colleges can grade immediately after installation without manual scale setup.
Bangladesh UGC 4-Point Scale
Bangladesh universities operate on a 4.0 GPA scale with pass at 40%. The BD_UGC_4PT scale ships with correct bands, and transcripts render in Bangla format: course code, title, credits, grade letter, grade points.
Indian Division Honours
The system classifies graduates into First Class with Distinction (CGPA 7.5+, zero backlogs), First Class (6.0+), Second Class (5.0+), and Pass Class (4.0+). Backlog count matters, a student with CGPA 8.0 but 3 cleared backlogs still earns First Class, not Distinction.
CBCS Transcript Report
Generates the standard CBCS transcript with columns for Subject Code, Subject Name, Internal marks, External marks, Total percentage, Grade letter, and Grade Points. Semester-wise SGPA and cumulative CGPA are computed per UGC guidelines.
Practical Assessment Templates
Lab and practical subjects use a different split: Internal 40% + External 60% (IN_CBCS_PRAC template). The system applies the correct template based on subject type without manual intervention.
Re-Attempt Policy
ATKT (Allowed to Keep Terms)
India's ATKT system allows students to carry up to 3 failing subjects (backlogs) into the next semester. When enabled, the promotion check clears backlog-related failure reasons as long as the active backlog count stays within the limit. Students register for supplementary exams to clear backlogs. The most recent attempt replaces the original in the GPA calculation. If a student exceeds the backlog limit, they are held back until they clear enough subjects to drop below the threshold.
How re-attempts affect the transcript
- The active grade (counted in GPA) is marked with an asterisk (*)
- Superseded or excluded grades are annotated with their status code
- All attempts appear on the transcript for full academic transparency
- Cleared, condoned, compensated, and exempted backlogs do not block graduation

Regulatory Alignment
UGC (University Grants Commission), NAAC
The India & Bangladesh gradebook module pre-configures grading scales, assessment templates, re-attempt policies, and transcript formats to align with the requirements set by UGC (University Grants Commission), NAAC. The data structures, computation rules, and report formats follow the standards your accreditation body expects to see during institutional audits.
Grade distributions, pass rates, GPA trends, and classification statistics can all be exported to Excel for submission during accreditation reviews. The structured data makes it straightforward to pull the specific metrics your accreditation criteria require.
