How your course grade actually gets built

Many VIT students think the FAT is the only exam that matters and treat CATs as less important. In reality, both contribute significantly to your final grade.

Most VIT courses calculate grades using CAT 1, CAT 2, quizzes or digital assignments, and the FAT. The exact weightage depends on the course and school. In many subjects, the combined weight of CATs and assignments is equal to or higher than the FAT. This means good performance in CAT 1 and CAT 2 can give you a strong advantage before the FAT begins.

One poor FAT score does not always ruin your final grade. At the same time, depending on the FAT, recovering from poor CAT scores can be risky.  That’s because part of your grade is already decided before the final exam. Check your course handout at the beginning of the semester to see the exact weightage for that subject.

Why your final-year project courses move your CGPA more than you’d expect

The credit structure at VIT is not the same throughout your degree. In the early semesters, most courses carry 3 or 4 credits. In the later semesters, project courses, technical electives, and design courses often carry 6 to 10 credits.

Since CGPA is based on credits, a high-credit course affects your CGPA more than a low-credit course. An 8-credit capstone project with a good grade can improve your CGPA much more than a 3-credit course with the same grade.

Example:

Suppose your CGPA before the final year is 7.4 across 160 credits.

In your last two semesters, suppose you complete:

➡️ A 10-credit capstone project with a grade of 9

➡️ Other courses worth 24 credits with an average grade of 8

New CGPA = (7.4 × 160 + 9 × 10 + 8 × 24) ÷ (160 + 34) = 7.56

This single capstone project increases your CGPA by 0.16 points. The reverse can happen too. A poor grade in a high-credit project course can hurt your CGPA more than a poor grade in a regular theory course. That’s why project and capstone courses deserve as much attention as placement preparation and final exams.

If you think your answer script was misevaluated

VIT allows students to apply for script review and re-evaluation through VTOP after results are announced. The application window usually opens shortly after the results are published and remains open for a limited time. If you miss the deadline, you’ll generally need to wait until the next semester. Since dates can vary slightly each semester, check VTOP or VIT’s official website for the latest schedule.

Questions VIT students actually face

My CATs were strong, but I still got a lower grade than I expected. Is this because of relative grading?

Possibly. VIT uses relative grading in many courses, so your final grade depends not only on your marks but also on how other students performed. If your scores looked good but your grade was lower than expected, the grading curve may be one reason. You can’t verify it by yourself, but many students notice this in competitive courses.

Can I retake a course I already passed to improve my grade?

VIT previously allowed students to improve their grades for some passed courses. However, the rules and eligibility have changed over time. Before making plans, check the latest policy on VTOP or speak with your academic advisor about the availability of the improvement attempts.  

I withdrew from a course mid-semester. Does the W grade affect my CGPA?

Usually, a W (Withdrawal) grade is not included in CGPA calculations, unlike an F grade. However, it still appears on your transcript and may affect your credit completion for that semester. Withdrawal windows open for a short period, so always check the academic calendar for the deadlines.

My capstone project changed my CGPA more than a regular course. Why?

Capstone and project courses often carry more credits than regular theory courses. Since CGPA is calculated using course credits, a high-credit course has a bigger impact on your CGPA. This is normal, not a calculation error.

How can I check the CAT and FAT weightage for my course?

The weightage is usually listed in the course handout or shared by the faculty at the start of the semester. It can vary between courses and schools within VIT. So don’t assume every course follows the same pattern. If you’re unsure, ask your faculty or check the course portal.

Important: Placement cutoffs, admission requirements, scholarship rules, and hiring policies may change over time. Use this guide as a starting point, but always verify the latest information on the official website before applying or making any academic, admission, scholarship, or career-related decision.
