Evaluation

A. Theory

The performance of a student is evaluated in terms of percentage of marks with a

provision for conversion to grade points. Evaluation for each course shall be done by a

continuous internal assessment by the concerned course teacher as well as by an end semester

examination which will be a written-type examination of 3 hours duration and will be

consolidated at the end of the course. The ratio of marks to be allotted to continuous internal

assessment and to end semester examination is 25 : 75. (ie. Internal 25 marks and External 75

marks)

The components for continuous internal assessment are :

Two tests and their average 15 Marks

Seminar/Group Discussion 5 Marks

Assignment 5 Marks

Total 25 Marks

B. Practical

The evaluation of laboratory component will also be based on continuous internal

assessment and on an end-semester practical examination. The ratio of marks to be allotted to

continuous internal assessment and to end semester practical examination is

40 : 60. (ie. Internal 40 marks and External 60 marks)

The components for continuous internal assessment are :

Test 10 Marks

Lab work, Assignment and Regularity 30 Marks

Total 40 Marks
