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:

THEORY

I UG	Tamil / French / General English / Core / Elective
II UG	Tamil / French / General English / Core / Elective
III UG	Common Core / Core / Elective

Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA)

Components of CIA:

• (i) Internal test               = 40 marks
• (ii) Quiz                           = 10 marks
• (iii) Assignment             = 5 marks
• (iv) Class performance = 5 marks

• * Two centralised CIA will be conducted for a duration of one and a half hour for 40 marks each. The average of the two test scores will be taken.
• * An Online Quiz will be conducted for 10 marks in each CIA. The Average of the two quiz scores will be taken.
• * The average marks of CIA and quizzes will be combined with assignment and class performance scores.

Components for Class performance:

Entrepreneurial Based Course:

• * One hour Entrepreneurial Based Course 20:30. Internal and External examinations will be in the form of Practicals / Presentation of models / Reports.

Evaluation Pattern:

Self-Study Course:

ESE (2 hours duration) - 50 marks

There is no Internal Examination, only End Semester Examination. Question paper pattern depends on the content of the paper.

Viva Voce:

• * All the IUG and IIUG students will undergo a spoken English viva for 10 marks in the even semester.
• * All the IUG and IIUG French students will undergo a spoken French viva for 10 marks in the even semester.
