Testing and Evaluation
Evaluation of students is based on both Continuous Assessment and End Semester Examinations. Equal weightage (50% each) is given to Continuous Assessment (C.A.) and End Semester Examination (E.S). A student will be permitted to take the End Semester Examination provided she has a minimum attendance of 75% per course and has completed the C.A. requirements of tests / assignments / seminars / project work etc. The End Semester Examination will be in the form of a comprehensive written/practical examination for each course at the end of the semester.
Every student should register for the examination paying the prescribed
fees on the dates indicated in the handbook.
The minimum for a pass in a Bachelor's Degree
course and a Master's Degree course are as follows :
