System of Evaluation

---

Performance in each course of study is evaluated based on (i) Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) i.e. formative assessment throughout the semester and (ii) University examination at the end of the semester (ESE) i.e. summative assessment.

* CIA 2 Written Exam (Question Paper Pattern)

---

Eligibility for Examinations

---

All students who have registered for a particular course are eligible to write the ESE (Theory/Lab) of that course, provided he/she is not debarred from writing the exam due to one or more of reasons listed below.

• Shortage of attendance
• Acts of indiscipline
• Withdrawal of a registered course

Passing Requirements

---

UG/PG in Engineering and Technology and Law, PG programmes of Arts, Science, Commerce, management and Humanities

A student is declared to have passed in a theory only Course or lab embedded Course only if he/she meets the following conditions:

• Should have secured a minimum of 40% marks in the theory ESE and CIAs separately and should have secured a minimum of 50% marks out of the grand total marks awarded to the course i.e. ESE and CIAs put together.

• Should have secured a minimum of 50% marks out of total marks awarded to the laboratory component alone.

In case of laboratory/ practical/ seminar/ project courses, students should earn a minimum of 50% marks. No separate letter grade shall be indicated/ awarded for a pass/ reappear in a lab component of an embedded course or a component of any continuous assessment of a theory course. A single letter grade shall be used to indicate the pass/ reappear of a course in total.

UG programmes of Arts, Science, Commerce, management, Humanities, certificate courses and Diploma

A student is declared to have passed in a theory only Course or lab embedded Course only if he/she meets the following conditions:

• Should have secured a minimum of 35% marks in the theory ESE and CIAs separately and should have secured a minimum of 40% marks out of the grand total marks awarded to the course i.e. ESE and CIAs put together.

• Should have secured a minimum of 40% marks out of total marks awarded to the laboratory component alone.

In case of laboratory/ practical/ seminar/ project courses, students should earn a minimum of 40% marks. No separate letter grade shall be indicated/ awarded for a pass/ reappear in a lab component of an embedded course or a component of any continuous assessment of a theory course. A single letter grade shall be used to indicate the pass/ reappear of a course in total.

Grading System

---

For every course registered by a student, at the end of the semester, he/she is assigned a ‘Letter Grade’ based on his/her performance over the semester in all the assessments carried out in that course. The letter grade and its ‘Grade Point’ indicate the results of both qualitative and quantitative assessment of student’s performance in a course.

The letter grades and their corresponding grade points shall be as given below. The remarks column describes the circumstance under which the specific grade is offered.

*C+ grade pass for Professional courses, *C grade pass for Humanities

A student is declared to have passed/ cleared a course, if he/she has earned any one of the following grades: O →C ,C+  we can called the ‘Performance Grades’.

The letter grade ‘U’ will be awarded under the following circumstances. To clear an ‘U’ grade, students should write an arrear exam.

• Students who fail to clear a course due to their poor performance in the course
• Students debarred due to acts of indiscipline/ exam malpractice

Absolute Grading

---

The letter grade awarded to a student for his/her performance in a course is based on the ‘absolute Grading’ concept.

Evaluation for Laboratory only Courses

---

Lab embedded courses have a laboratory/ practical component along with the theory and/ or tutorial component(s). A few skill based courses may have only laboratory/ practical component without a theory and/ or tutorial component. For the courses having only laboratory/ practical work component, the lab CIA and lab ESE mark distribution shall be as given below. The final laboratory exam (ESE) shall be conducted for the same duration for which the laboratory/ practical works have been carried out every week during the period of the semester. Assessment procedure of a lab only course and courses of project type is depicted in Annexure – 6.

Evaluation of Courses having Embedded Laboratory

---

When a course has a laboratory/ practical component, the End Semester Examinations for the theory and lab/ practical will be conducted separately.

To make students attend lab classes without fail and to increase the importance given to the lab classes, a pass/ fail condition is imposed on the lab component of an embedded course. Students who do not earn a minimum of 50% marks (Lab CAM + Lab ESE that carries a total of 100 marks) are declared as ‘failed’ in the lab component, and consequently will be considered as ‘failed’ in the complete (embedded) course also, and hence an “U” grade will be awarded.

Rank/Medal Awarding Procedure

---

University ranks are awarded for all programmes except Certificate, Diploma, PG Diploma, M. Phil, part time UG/PG and Ph.D. programmes.

• A candidate shall be eligible for award of ranking only if he/she has passed the examination in first class with Honors or first class with distinction in the first available chance (i.e.) First attempt in all the subjects. Those who have availed the provision of break of study will not be eligible for ranks. 
• Criterion for deciding Number of Ranks (each Branch/Programme/Specialization)

• If there is no eligible candidate in a Programme for that academic year no rank will be awarded.
• First Rank awarded with Gold Medal, Second Rank Awarded with Silver Medal and Third Rank awarded with Bronze medal.
• Students should not involve in any kind of disciplinary action.
