Evaluation System

Theory

In case of theory courses, 60% evaluation is external and 40% is internal. The external evaluation is based on the end semester University Examinations. The question paper for the university examinations is set by an external paper setter and the answer books/scripts are evaluated by an external examiner. The 40 marks of internal evaluation are awarded by the teacher on the basis of continuous evaluation of the student, through class tests, seminars, home assignments and class work. Three class tests are conducted centrally during the semester, out of which best two tests are considered for award of Internal/ Sessional marks. 24 marks are assigned to class tests (best two out of three), 10 marks are assigned to assignment and tutorial sheets and 6 marks are based on class attendance.

Practical

In case of Practical, 40% weightage is given to the end semester university examination and 60% to internal evaluation. The end semester practical examination is conducted by a board comprising of one internal and one external examiner.
