Examination And Assesments

Continuous internal assessment (CIA) forms 50% and the end semester examination forms the other 50% of the marks in both theory and practical. CIA marks are awarded based on their performance in assignments (written material to be submitted and valued), mid-semester test (MST), and class assignments (Quiz, presentations, problem-solving etc.) The mid-semester examination and the end semester examination for each theory course will be for two and three hours duration respectively. The CIA for practical sessions is done on a day-to-day basis depending on their performance in the pre-lab, the conduct of the experiment, and the presentation of lab reports. Only those students who qualify with the minimum required attendance and CIA will be allowed to appear for the end semester examination.
