Examination And Assesments | |
Evaluation pattern for full CIA courses offered:
The “Theory and Practical” Type of courses offered in all UG/PG programmes will be considered as Full CIA courses.
For this type of courses, there is no exclusive Mid Semester Examination and End Semester Examination; instead there shall be a continuous evaluation during the semester as,
CAC – Continuous Assessment Component Assessment components such as Hard copy / Soft copy Assignment, Quiz, Presentation, Video Making, MOOC, Project, Demonstration, Service Learning, etc CAT – Continuous Assessment Test A written / Lab test would be conducted on any working day
The total marks for the full CIA courses would vary based on the number of hours allocated in a week for the respective course. Out of the maximum marks allotted to the respective course, 50% marks will be considered as CIA and remaining 50% as ESE based on the combinations of the evaluation components (CAC and CAT). |
