You need to remove ', if a field stores numeric data or function (month, year) returns numeric values.

Plase, have a look at this:

SQL

SELECT distinct r.rate as Rate,
f.bthid as Batchid,
CASE  WHEN r.rate = 1 THEN 100 
      WHEN r.rate = 2 THEN 75 
      WHEN r.rate = 3 THEN 50 
      WHEN r.rate = 4 THEN 25 
      ELSE 0 
END AS Translated_Rate 
FROM bthfac AS f,batch AS b, faculty AS fa,facfeedback AS r 
WHERE month(b.examdate)= 9 and year(b.examdate)= 2011 and b.bthid=f.bthid 
      and r.bfid = f.bfid  and f.facid = fa.facid and fa.facname = 'C';
