• Students who miss the End-Term exam in a course but have at least a 'B' grade in it in the mid-term exam may be given 'I' grade. If they also miss their Mid-Term exam or get an 'F' grade in it, are given 'F' for the course. Students with 'C' or 'D' grades are assigned 'W'.

Grading Scale & Grade Point Average
 

Cumulative Grade Point Average Requirement for Graduation

For continuation in the program a minimum required cumulative CGPA must be maintained regardless of the number of the credit hours completed. Once on probation, the student may not be allowed to register for any new course. Rather the courses with lowest grade should be repeated to achieve clear standing within two semesters. While on academic probation, the student must confer with the Program Coordinators or the Dean office to ensure his/her satisfactory progress.
Students with a CGPA below the minimum required level must consider them on probation. A student does not have to receive an official notification of probation from the institute.

A course with F Grade may be repeated twice to obtain a passing Grade. In a special case the Dean could allow a third chance.

A course with a C and D Grade may be repeated to improve the grade. Any number of courses could be repeated for such grade improvement.

Every student must enroll during the registration week and must take minimum 2 courses (6 Cr. Hours) during a semester, unless otherwise recommended by coordinators and approved by the Dean. Registration is valid only if the dues are paid within the specified time.

The onus of providing correct information to the coordinators for the purpose of registration is on the student. Registration made on the basis of wrong information provided by the student would be cancelled and the student would be subject to disciplinary action and may be suspended for a semester or could be expelled from the (IMS) Institute depending on the gravity of the offence.

The Dean may allow late registration in the weeks following the registration period. For late registration a student will be liable to pay late registration fee at 10% of the tuition. In the first week after the regular registration period and 20% surcharge will be levied till the start of the next semester.

Enrolment in certain courses cannot be allowed until the course prerequisite requirements are met. The students are warned that it is their responsibility to make sure that they satisfy the prerequisite requirements of each course. A student enrolling in a given course without meeting the prerequisites may be denied credit for the course.

Registration during the official registration period is final and cannot be changed when the semester starts, except of students, who fail a course(s) in the preceding semester. A student must reappear a failed course on the very next offering.

No student would be allowed to drop the course with a W after the twelfth week of the semester.

During the semester, the IMS reserves the right to cancel any course announced at the time of registration.
In case a course is full or is cancelled otherwise, administration reserves the right to shift any number of students to alternative courses.

The IMS reserves the right of change the requirements of any program, introduce new courses, or modify a program in any way deemed appropriate. The changes thus made would be applicable to all students regardless of their date of commencement.

Academic integrity is a major part of the foundation of any institution of higher learning. "Plagiarism and cheating are among the most common form of academic dishonesty. Plagiarism includes all offenses in which the work of another person is claimed, even unintentionally, to be one's own either by copying, purchasing or borrowing such work or failure to give credit for its source. Cheating includes the use of borrowed or purchased term papers, essays, reports, and other written assignment, and the use of concealed notes or devices or collaboration during examinations".

Violation of any regulation constitutes Examination Malpractice, whose punishment can take the form of Expulsion from IMS

• Smoking is not allowed inside the campus.
• Students are expected to behave in a civilized manner - no shouting, no notice making, no loose talk, no lying on the lawns, or running anywhere on the campus
• Dress Code should be followed strictly by boys as well as girls (Shalwar, Kameez and Dopatta for girls)
• Our traditional culture demands proper respect for the teachers in and outside the classroom.
• Good students know what it means, and one does not have to have a high IQ for that.

It is hoped that students will not violate the institution's rules. The management has no interest, unless compelled, in taking measures such as heavy fine, or even their expulsion from Pak-AIMS. Unusual observations about students that are of possible interest to their parents will also be reported to their parents for information.
