In the world of today an individual’s productivity derives as much as from his/her determination, discipline, punctuality, teamwork, and high standard of skills. Therefore, the qualitative changes take place in the character of the individual mainly depend on the nature and quality of training and knowledge he/she acquires. The world has huge manpower resources and majority of them are youth. These youths have a lot of potentials but unable to explore their potentialities due to lack of skills. Man power is always a source of power and strength provided they are skilled and technically educated. There are huge demands for skilled manpower at home and abroad but due to shortage of skilled man power hardly the demand can be fulfilled. Keeping this potential in mind, Temple institute has decided to run an institute which will produce technically educated man power basing on the need of individual, society, nation and internationally. The institute has been established for the training of unskilled persons in a planned and effective manner to fulfill the need and requirement of our nation and abroad, that is, responding to the new challenges towards emancipation of unemployment and alleviation of poverty in nations.

Late registration; No late registration
A student who wants to make a change of subject or subjects must obtain a “change of Program Form” from the Principal’s office. Courses dropped within the time period from Registration to the Last Date to Drop with a Grade will not appear on the student’s permanent record. Courses dropped after this period and before the Last Drop a Class with “W” Grade, “W” will be recorded. If a course is dropped after this date, a “WF” (withdrawal Fail) or a “WP” (withdrawal Pass) is recorded. Any student who enrolls in a class and fails to attend or to withdraw from the class within the prescribed time will receive a grade of “F”.
A student who would like to withdraw from all classes must submit an official Institute withdraws Form to the Principal’s office. Signatures of those specified must be secured before the return is returned to the Principal’s Office.
A student may wish to attend a class or classes without receiving a credit for it. Such a student must register in the usual manner, receive prior approval of the instructor of the course and the Principal, and pay special fees. A student who is auditing a class is not required to take tests and examinations. However, he/she must attend the class regularly. The student who audits a course will receive no grade and no academic credit.
The chairperson of each Department is the students’ academic advisor. To avoid conflict of misunderstanding in the students’ academic progress, every student is required to have a course advisor at Registration. Students are strongly urged to follow their advisor’s guidance.
The academic study load at Temple Institute of Management, Science and Technology is computed in term of hours which normally represent class online per week. Thus, a term-hour class would meet three times for lectures and one tutorial per week.
Conversion of percentage into letter grade is as follows: –
90 – 100 A
80 – 89 B+
70 – 79 B
60 – 69 C
50 – 59 D+
0 – 49 D
The grade-point average is compiled by totaling the graded points of all courses and by dividing the total term- hours for which grades are received. (Only the grade for the last repeated course will be calculated in the grade-point average.) The AU, I, W, Wp and Wf are disregarded in computing the grade-point average.
The final grades for each module are posted on the students’ portal.
Grades and grade point average for diploma programmes for Temple Institute of Management, Science and Technology are computed as shown below:
A 5 Excellence (Outstanding)
B+ 4 Merits
B 3 above Average
C 1 average
D 0 pass
In place of Grades, the following symbols are used:
The Incomplete is given in case of incomplete work due to justifiable cause. A student may be given an incomplete due to illness or emergency but not for reasons of negligence. An incomplete grade must be petitioned for in writing by the student prior to the final examination period, and must be approved by both the course instructor and the Academic Dean. Incomplete work must be made up before the close of the following semester. An incomplete grade will be recorded if the incomplete is not made up in the allotted time.
The student will receive an IP grade if the course is still in progress. Course to receive IP grading must be approved by the Academic Standards Committee.
A grade of “S” for satisfactory or “U” for unsatisfactory may be given in certain designed courses. “S” indicates that a grade of C- or better was earned and “U” indicates unsatisfactory performance in the course. Both “S” and “U” carry no quality grade points and do not affect the grade-point average (GPA).
A student who sit for a supplementary after obtaining a D+ can only get an “S” grade or “U” grade from a supplementary examination
A “W” is given on student application. “W” from the last day of registration up to the official “last day to drop a class,” after that, “Wp” or “Wf” according to the student’s performance at the time of withdraw. In order for a withdrawal grade to be granted the student must submit a drop voucher to the teacher concerned.
If a student is required to repeat a course because of academic policy, both the original and repeated grades are entered on the students’ permanent record; but only the repeated grade will not be used for computation in the grade point average. A student is allowed to repeat a course in situations where the student has earned a D or F grade. Permission to repeat is given only by the approval of the Principal.
A student who fails to raise the grade point average at least to 2.0 after the second semester trial is placed on academic disqualification and is not allowed to register the following semester, and is subject to academic dismissal. The action is taken by the Academic Standards Committee after reviewing the students overall academic progress and written reports from the student’s advisor. The Academic Dean notifies the student in writing about the committee’s decision. The student has the right to appeal.
After at least one year of absence from the college, a student dismissed for academic reasons, may formally apply for re-admission. The admissions Committee will then review the application and seek recommendations from the Academic Standards Committee. Such a student will need to demonstrate and provide appropriate evidence of academic improvement and potential for academic success.
Class interaction on student portal is one of the requirements for completion and passing a course. A student will participate individually on student portal on topics uploaded by instructors and participation will contributes to continuous assessment.
A module dropped during the first fourteen calendar days of starting a programme will not be included on grade reports or transcripts. If a student withdraws from the module after fourteen calendar days of commencement of a module, a notation of “W” (Withdraw) is recorded. A student, who wishes to add a module, or to change registration in any module from audit to credit or credit to audit, must do so within the first five class days of the commencement of the nodule. (See calendar of events)
No final examination (see examination model above)
Academic honesty is the foundation of the intellectual integrity. On the contrary, academic dishonesty is the most serious violation of trust in the academic world. Every student is expected to be honest in all his/her academic work. Dishonesty on any of the items which will be mentioned later may result in a failing grade for the course and may also lead to suspension or dismissal from the college.

The Chairperson of the Department shall consult the instructor concerned and reply to the student in writing within two weeks of receipt of the written grievance and shall state the decision on information received.
Step Three: If the student feels that he/she is dissatisfied with the outcome of step two, the student may appeal to the Academic Dean within two weeks. The academic Dean will appoint a faculty review committee of three members (one suggested by the student, one by the instructor, and one by the Academic Dean) to evaluate the grievance and submit a report to the Academic Dean on its findings.
The grievance shall be discussed and considered at a meeting of the appointed committee, not later than two weeks after the Academic Dean has received the report. The committee shall submit a written report to the Academic Dean within five school days following the meeting.
After receiving the recommendation from the committee, the Academic Dean shall present the committee’s report to the Academic Standards Committee for the final decision within fifteen school days after receiving the committee’s report.
