The weight of A level grades is as follows: A*/A=4 points, B=3 points, C=2 points, D=1 point, E/U=0 points.
The eligibility criteria would be average C in at least three subjects combined for all the undergraduate programs of the IBA, which translates into 6 points. Three best grades are to be counted in the calculation excluding E/U grades i.e. a minimum of three subjects with no subject grade below D.
For candidates not meeting the lowered eligibility criteria of average C in three subjects, provisional admission will be granted and a retake would be allowed. The retake would be allowed for only one subject and the candidate should meet the eligibility criteria before the commencement of Spring 2025 semester. The requirement would stay the same which the candidate needs to achieve i.e. a minimum C (average) / 6 points across three subjects after the retake of the single-subject exam. No grades should be below D.
In undergraduate programs (BS CS/Math/EM) where Math is a mandatory subject, the minimum grade in mathematics should be C, along with the criteria described above. In case a candidate is not able to meet this criterion, the candidate would be offered provisional admission with a chance to retake and clear mathematics subject with a C grade before commencement of Spring 2025 semester.
This policy is applicable to current intake only i.e., Fall 2024.
The document submission and Fee challan submission deadline for such cases will be extended till August 23rd, 2024.
All such candidates are requested to visit the Program Office, IBA Main Campus from August 20 to August 23, 2024, and between 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM along with required documents and paid fee vouchers.
