5. Evaluation System and Student’s Responsibilities
Evaluation System
In addition to the formal exam(s), the internal evaluation of a student may consist of quizzes, assignments, lab reports, projects, class participation, etc. The tabular presentation of the internal evaluation is as follows.
| External Evaluation | Marks | Internal Evaluation | Weight | Marks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Semester-End examination |
50 | Theory |
50 | |
| Attendance &Class Participation | 10% | |||
| Assignments | 20% | |||
| Presentations/Quizzes | 10% | |||
| Internal Assessment | 60% | |||
| Total External | 50 | Total Internal | 50 | |
| Full Marks:50 + 50 = 100 | ||||
6. Student’s Requirement
Each student must secure at least 45% marks separately in both internal assessment and practical evaluation with 80% attendance in the class in order to appear in the Semester End Examination. Failing to get such a score will be given NOT QUALIFIED (NQ) to appear for the Semester-End Examinations. Students are advised to attend all the classes, formal exams, tests, etc., and complete all the assignments within the specified time period. Students are required to complete all the requirements defined for the completion of the course.
