Calcutta University introduces revised undergraduate grading and exam rules for the 2026-27 academic session, starting with first-semester students admitted in 2026-27. Alongside changes to the grading structure, the university restores marks for classroom attendance, reported as 5 marks, and updates how these marks feed into the overall assessment and grade calculation.
Under the updated framework, the internal assessment process is revised for both regular and backlog students. The reporting indicates that theory courses will carry 75 marks in total, comprising the written examination, internal assessment, and attendance components. Outlets also note that the revised rules apply to the relevant undergraduate papers and that the grade point calculation is adjusted to reflect the new structure.
While the sources agree on the core elements—new UG grading rules effective from 2026-27, attendance marks reinstated, and updated internal assessment—the emphasis differs. Times of India focuses on the detailed marks breakdown and the scope across regular and backlog students, while NDTV and India Today highlight the attendance component and its implementation under the updated exam rules.
