EVALUATION PROCEDURES - RULES AND REGULATIONS
Assessment Rules
Assessment Ratio :
Assessment for each course has two components:
Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) and End Semester Examinations (ESE). These two put together ensure an objective assessment throughout the programme of study and cumulatively as well.
The ratio of CIA to ESE :
| Theory | Practical | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| I UG, III UG & I PG | CIA : ESE | 40 : 60 | 40 : 60 |
| II UG & II PG | CIA : ESE | 25 : 75 | 40 : 60 |
Both CIA and ESE are mandatory to complete a course successfully.
Assessment Rules for UG:
