Bachelor of Computer Application (BCA) is a 4-year course offered by Pokhara University under the Faculty of Science and Technology. It is a semester-based program and follows the credit system.
The grades (marks) awarded to students in a course are based on their consolidated performance in seasonal and final examinations. The letter grade in any particular subject is an indication of a student's relative performance in that course. The pattern of grading will be as follows:
| Letter | Grade | Grade point Description |
|---|---|---|
| A | 4.0 | Excellent |
| A- | 3.7 | |
| B+ | 3.3 | |
| B | 3.0 | Good |
| B- | 2.7 | |
| C+ | 2.3 | |
| C | 2.0 | Satisfactory |
| C- | 1.7 | |
| D+ | 1.3 | |
| D | 1.0 | Minimum Requirement |
| F | 0 | Falling |
In unusual circumstances, the student may be awarded an incomplete grade of "I". If all the requirements are not completed within the following semester, the grade of "I" will be automatically converted to "F". A student receiving an "I" grade does not need to register for that subject in the following semester to complete the required works.
The performance of a student in a semester will be evaluated in terms of the semester grade point average (SGPA). The student’s final grade will be calculated on cumulative grade point average (CGPA).
SGPA= Total honor points earned in a semester / total number of credits registered in a semester.
CGPA= Total honor points earned / total number of credits completed.
In Pokhara University, CGPA 2.5 or more and 3.0 or more are considered as Second and First divisions, respectively.
A student is normally expected to obtain a CGPA of 2.0. The student, whose performance in the past semesters does not show the possibility of maintaining this CGPA, may be advised to leave or dismissed from the program.
On completion of all requirements with a CGPA of 2.0 or better, the student will be awarded a degree ofBachelor of Computer Application (BCA).
To obtain a degree with distinction, a student must obtain a CGPA of3.6 or better.
The Dean’s list recognizes outstanding performances of academic excellence by students. To qualify, a student must obtain a CGPA of3.7 or better.
