What is an Exemption?
A candidate who obtains >=60% of marks in any paper or papers and a minimum of 25% of marks in all the remaining papers of that module in which he has appeared shall be exempted from appearing in that paper in the subsequent examinations.
The candidate is required to obtain a minimum of 40% in each paper and an aggregate of 50% in the total of the remaining subjects of the module in the subsequent examinations.
Let’s understand this with an illustration-
In an Attempt–
Say a student has obtained the following marks in an examination-
I – 65, II – 35, III – 30; Total = 130. [Aggregate < 50% → Fail]
Since the student has got marks; 60% in Paper I and has also got the minimum required in other papers i.e. ≥ 25% in Papers II and III, he/she will be exempted from appearing in Paper I in the subsequent examinations.
In the next exam the candidate is required to appear only in papers II and III and get a minimum of 40% and aggregate of 50% (total of 100) in the papers II, and III together.
In next Attempt–
Say the student has obtained the following marks in the subsequent exam-
CASE 1:
The student may obtain marks required to pass the examination.
II – 54, III – 58. Total = 112. [Aggregate ≥ 50% → Pass]
CASE 2:
The student may fail the examination but still obtain an exemption in one more papers additionally.
II – 30, III – 65. Total = 95. [Aggregate < 50% → Fail]
The student fails the examination. Here there is a scope for exemption in Paper III since the student obtained ≥ 60% and has got a minimum of 25% in the other paper.
In the next exam the stduent is required to appear only Paper II and get a minimum of 50%.
CASE 3:
The student may fail the examination and not get any new exemptions.
II – 20, III – 65. Total = 85. [Aggregate < 50% and Failed in Paper II → Fail]
Special Case » Failing after Getting an Aggregate ≥ 60%
Where a student who has appeared in all the papers of a module has failed in one paper but obtained a minimum of 60% of the total marks of the remaining subjects (not in each subject) shall be declared to have passed in that module if he secured 50% marks in that paper in which he failed in any subsequent examination.
In an attempt-
I – 55, II – 35, III – 72 Total = 162. [Aggregate > 50% → Fail]
Has got 60% in I and III together (i.e. the other subjects).
In the subsequent exams the student needs to appear only in paper II and get a minimum of 50% in it to pass in the module.
