ENGINEERING EXAMINATIONS GENERAL REGULATIONS
Definitions:
For the purposes of these regulations, the following terms are defined:
University Examination means the entire assessment of a student in a particular year of the degree programme.
Degree Examination means the University Examination in the final year of the degree programme.
Formal Examination means an examination, written or otherwise, conducted under traditional examination conditions.
This will normally take place during one of the examination periods defined by the University.
Coursework means any work other than a Formal Examination, such as practical work, presentations, project work,
assignments or tests. Coursework will normally be carried out and assessed during the academic terms of the University,
but the Examiners may decide that it should be carried out and assessed at other times.
Subject means a part of a University Examination in which the student is required to attain an acceptable standard in order
to pass the University Examination. A Subject can be identified by the presence of a mark in the column headed “Subject
Marks” in the tables of marks which follow.
The assessment of a student’s performance in a Subject may be based on one or more Formal Examinations, or on
Coursework, or on any combination of these. The number of Formal Examinations in a Subject is indicated in the column
headed “No. of Papers” in the tables of marks which follow. Where more than 10% of the marks in a Subject are based on
Coursework, this is indicated in the tables of marks which follow.
The main Formal Examination(s) in any Subject will be the first occasion in any academic year on which the Formal
Examination(s) may be taken. This may be in any of the examination periods defined by the University. Except in the
Degree Examination, a supplemental (or “repeat”) examination in any Subject may take place in the “Autumn”
examination period.
Progression and Time Limits
A student must pass the relevant University Examination in order to proceed to the following year of the degree
programme.
A student must pass the First University Examination within two years of entering the degree programme.
A student must pass the Second University Examination within two years of passing the First University Examination.
A student must pass the Third University Examination within two years of passing the Second University Examination.
There is no time limit for passing the B.E. Degree Examination.
Exception to these rules may be granted by the Academic Council of the University, on the recommendation of the Faculty
of Engineering and Architecture, only for very serious reasons.
Optional Subjects and Optional Components
Where a student is required to choose a particular number of optional Subjects, no more than the required number of
optional Subjects will be taken into account in determining the result of the University Examination. If a student has marks
in more than the required number of optional subjects, the optional subjects with the lowest mark(s) will be ignored.
Where a student is required to choose a particular number of optional components within a Subject, no more than the
required number of optional components will be taken into account in determining the total mark for the Subject. If a
student has marks in more than the required number of optional components, the optional component(s) with the lowest
marks will be ignored.
Re-taking Examinations – General Rules
Where a student is to be re-assessed in any Subject, either in Supplemental examinations or in the Main examinations of a
later academic year, the following general rules apply, along with the specific rules given later:
109

In a Subject with both Formal Examination(s) and Coursework, if a student’s performance in the Coursework was
satisfactory at the first attempt, the Coursework mark may be retained and used in calculating total Subject marks in
subsequent attempts. If the student’s performance in Coursework was not satisfactory, the Examiners may require the
student to re-attempt some or all component(s) of Coursework, or may hold a special examination or set a special
assignment in lieu of some or all component(s) of Coursework. Where this occurs, the resulting mark will replace the
original mark for the component(s) of Coursework in question.

In a Subject with a small component of Coursework (10% or less of Subject marks), the Examiners may decide to
ignore the Coursework and derive the total Subject marks entirely from the Formal Examination(s) in the subsequent
attempts.

Where the regulations, Subjects, or syllabi have changed from the year of the first attempt, a student who is re-taking
examinations may choose to be assessed entirely under the old regulations, or entirely under the new regulations.
However, following a change in the syllabus of a Subject, or the deletion of a Subject, examination papers based on the
old syllabus will be provided for at most one year. In exceptional cases where a student requires an examination which
is no longer available, the Examiners may decide on a substitute Subject or examination.
FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD UNIVERSITY EXAMINATIONS
Pass Standard
In each Subject, a mark of at least 40% of the available marks is required in order to pass in that Subject. In some cases an
additional requirement may be imposed under the Inadequate Result rule (see below). Limited compensation between
Subjects is permitted (see below). A student must pass or compensate in each of the Subjects listed in the tables which
follow, in order to pass the University Examination.
Inadequate Result
In any Subject where the assessment consists entirely of Coursework, if a student fails to satisfy the Examiners in a
significant component of that Coursework, the Examiners may refuse to award a pass mark, or to permit compensation. In
such a case, the Examiners may declare an Inadequate Result (IR), and no mark will be awarded.
In any other Subject where the assessment consists of distinct components, such as more than one Formal Examination, or
a combination of Formal Examination(s) and Coursework, the Examiners may refuse to award a pass mark, or to permit
compensation, if a student’s mark in a significant component of the assessment is less than 20% of the available marks for
that component. In such a case, the Examiners may declare an Inadequate Result (IR), and no mark will be awarded.
However this latter rule may not be used unless the distinct components of the assessment, and the marks assigned to each
component, are shown in the relevant table of marks below. Also, it may not be used to declare an Inadequate Result due to
poor performance in any component of a Subject which accounts for less than 25% of the total marks for the Subject.
In the case of examinations for students in Chemical Engineering, an IR shall not be returned for any Subject without prior
discussion with the Internal Examiners in Chemical Engineering.
Compensation
A student may be permitted to use surplus marks in some subjects to compensate for small deficiencies in other subjects.
The following rules apply:

Compensation is permitted in at most two Subjects, except as follows. In the Main examinations, if the number of
Subjects in the relevant year of the degree programme is 10 or more, compensation may be permitted in three Subjects.
In the supplemental examinations, if a student is being re-assessed in 10 or more Subjects, compensation may be
permitted in three Subjects.

Compensation is not permitted in any Subject where the mark is less than 30% of the available marks, nor where an
Inadequate Result has been declared by the Examiners.

Surplus marks are marks above 40% of the available marks in a Subject, except in Subjects where the assessment
consists entirely of Coursework, where only marks above 50% may be used as surplus.

Compensation is only permitted if the student has surplus marks totalling at least twice the total deficiency. Note that
this calculation is done using marks, not percentages.
110
Supplemental Examinations
A student who, after the Main examinations in any academic year, has not passed the University Examination, may be reassessed in the Supplemental examinations in the same academic year. The following rules apply:

A student who has obtained a pass mark in any Subject may retain that mark until the end of the academic year, and
need not take the supplemental examinations in that Subject in the same academic year.

Normally, only the Formal Examination(s) in a Subject will be offered in the Supplemental examinations. However, in
exceptional circumstances, the Examiners may permit a student to re-attempt some component of Coursework, or may
hold a special examination or set a special assignment in lieu of that component of Coursework.

Compensation is permitted in the supplemental examinations, under the rules above. Subject marks retained from the
main examinations may be used for the purposes of calculating surplus marks for compensation in the supplemental
examinations.

A student who has obtained a pass mark in a Subject will not be re-assessed in that Subject in the supplemental
examinations. Exceptions to this rule may be granted by the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, but only for very
serious reasons, and normally only where a student is to be re-assessed in all Subjects in the supplemental
examinations.
Re-taking Examinations in a Later Year
A student who does not pass the University Examination within one academic year must take at least the Formal
Examinations in all Subjects again. The following rules apply:

In any Subject where the assessment consists entirely of Coursework, a student who has obtained a pass mark may
retain that mark, and need not be assessed in that Subject again. Such a retained mark may be used for the purposes of
calculating surplus marks for compensation in a later academic year.

No mark based on a Formal Examination in an earlier academic year may be used in a later year.

Supplemental examinations may be used, under the same rules as for the year of the first attempt.
Honours Standard
In order to be eligible for the award of Honours, a student must have passed the University Examination after the Main
Examinations in the academic year of his or her first registration for the relevant year of the degree programme. Exceptions
to this rule may be granted by the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, but only for very serious reasons.

First Class Honours may be awarded to a student who has a total mark (the sum of all Subject marks) of at least 70%
of the available marks, and not more than one Subject mark below 40%.

Second Class Honours may be awarded to a student who does not meet the requirements for First Class Honours, but
has a total mark of at least 60% of the available marks, and not more than one Subject mark below 40%.
B.E. DEGREE EXAMINATIONS
Pass Standard
In each Subject, a mark of at least 40% of the available marks is required in order to pass in that Subject. A student must
pass in each of the Subjects listed in the tables which follow, in order to pass the B.E. Degree Examination. To be eligible
for the award of the B.E. degree, a student must also pass a language examination.
Re-taking Examinations
A student who does not pass the B.E. degree Examination at the first attempt may be re-examined in a later academic year.
A student who has obtained a mark of at least 45% of the available marks in any Subject will be exempt from further
examination in that Subject.
111
Honours Standard
In order to be eligible for the award of Honours, a student must have passed the B.E. Degree Examination in the academic
year of his or her first registration for the final year of the degree programme. Exceptions to this rule may be granted by the
Academic Council of the University, on the recommendation of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, only for very
serious reasons.
 First Class Honours may be awarded to a student who has a total mark (see below) of at least 70% of the available
marks, and meets the special requirements below.

Second Class Honours Grade 1 may be awarded to a student who does not meet the requirements for First Class
Honours, but has a total mark (see below) of at least 60% of the available marks.

Second Class Honours Grade 2 may be awarded to a student who has a total mark (see below) of at least 50% but less
than 60% of the available marks.
Total Mark for Determination of Honours
The total mark will be the sum of the Subject marks, except in three degree programmes:
Chemical Engineering: the total mark will be calculated by adding 30% of the overall percentage mark obtained
by the student in the Third University Examination in the summer following the first registration for the third year
of the degree programme to 70% of the overall percentage mark obtained in the B.E. Degree examination.
Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering: the total mark will be calculated by adding the sum of the
Subject marks, a number derived by scaling the total mark obtained by the student in the Coursework and Main
Formal Examinations of the Third University Examination, in the academic year of his or her first registration for
the third year of the degree programme. This scaling shall be such as to scale the added marks to a maximum of
400, representing 20% of the resulting total mark.
In these three degree programmes, in exceptional circumstances, and with the prior approval of the Academic Council of
the University, on the recommendation of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, the total mark of an individual
student may be based solely upon the marks obtained in the B.E. Degree Examination.
Special Requirements
Chemical Engineering: to be eligible for the award of First Class Honours, a student must obtain a mark of at
least 60% of the available marks in the Subject Year’s Work in the fourth year of the degree programme.
Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering: to be eligible for the award of First Class Honours, a student
must obtain a mark of at least 60% of the available marks in the Subject Year’s Work in the fourth year of the
degree programme, and must also obtain a mark of at least 40% of the available marks in one of the optional
Mathematics components in the fourth year of the degree programme.
LANGUAGE EXAMINATIONS
Examinations
Language examinations may take place at any time of the year, and may consist of any combination of written, aural and
oral examinations.
A student may take the language examination during any year of the degree programme. A student may re-take the
language examination as often as required, but must take all the parts of the examination in the same academic year.
Grades
Grades will be awarded as follows, depending on the marks obtained, expressed as a percentage of the total marks
available:
Percentage Mark
70% or more
60% to 69%
50% to 59%
40% to 49%
Less than 40%
112

Pass Standard
The Pass standard is 40% in each Subject.
Where the examination of a Subject involves more than one paper or more than one section of a paper the examiners may,
as a result of an unacceptably poor performance in an individual paper or section, refuse to award a pass mark and an
“Inadequate Result” (IR) for the Subject may be returned by the examiners.
Compensation
Where a candidate is taking all the written Subjects at the same examination sitting, compensation may be exercised, but it
shall not as a rule be exercised if:
i.
the candidate’s marks fall below 30% in any Subject or the candidate has obtained an Inadequate Result (IR) in
any Subject.
ii.
the candidate’s marks fall below 40% in more than 2 Subjects.
Compensation may be exercised only when a candidate’s surplus marks are at least double the deficiency. Compensation
shall not be applied to the Subject Project Report nor shall surplus marks from this Subject be used in the computation of
surplus marks for compensation purposes.
122
Exemption
Candidates who have not presented in all Subjects or who have not passed in all Subjects will be exempted in those
Subjects in which they have reached the pass standard. On re-examination further exemptions may be allowed in single
Subjects when a candidate has reached a Pass Standard in these Subjects.
