Minimum GPA Requirements

A student must maintain a minimum CGPA of 2.20 cumulative during their stay at the IBA. Any first-year (with total credits less than 30) undergraduate student with a CGPA of less than 2.00 would be placed on probation for 1 semester at the end of which they must improve their CGPA to 2.0 or higher otherwise they shall be dropped from the rolls of the Institute. If a student's CGPA falls between 2.00-2.19 (probation range) in the spring/fall semester, they would be issued a warning letter for improvement of CGPA. At the end of the probation semester, a probationer is required to improve their CGPA and bring it up to the required minimum of 2.20. However, if the CGPA still remains within the probation range then the probation shall continue in the next semesters of studies in which the probationer may study until the CGPA improves to a value of 2.20 or higher. There would be no warning letter for summer courses. If a student fails to pass certain courses and yet manages to maintain their CGPA equal to or above 2.20, they are allowed to repeat and clear the course(s) or substitute(s) (wherever permissible) before the degree is awarded to them provided that the enrollment period has not expired. The CGPA is computed for evaluation at the end of each semester including a summer semester that a student might have enrolled in. First term undergraduate students must have studied 15 credit hours except BSCS for which 17 credit hours must have been studied. MBA & Executive MBA degree program students must have studied 18 credits while the MS students must have studied 9 credit hours. Withdrawn courses are not counted in the CGPA calculation.
