Course Assessment

The University follows a continuous evaluation system consisting of internal and external assessment components. Modes of internal assessment include home assignments, tutorial assignments, laboratory work, group assignments, quizzes, mid-semester tests/examinations (open or closed book), viva‐voce, live projects, etc.

The end‐semester examination or any exhaustive project involving external assessors is treated as a component of external assessment.

The distribution of weight between internal and external assessment for different academic programs is at the discretion of the school. However, the University recommends the distribution in proportion 60:40 (60% for internal components and 40% for an end semester exam or a similar component). A student is required to obtain a minimum of 40% in each component.

Each course in charge is expected to inform students the weightage of different components of continuous evaluation in course syllabus and prepare them accordingly through the semester. Course In charge is also expected to regularly inform them (students) about their performance in each internal component.

Classroom participation is considered to be an important part of the overall teaching learning process, thus it is recommended that at least 10% weightage is allocated for classroom participation per course during the semester.
