Assessment Scheme
Each course will be assessed for 100% weight, out of which 60% weight is for
Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) and 40% weight is for Semester End
Examination (SEE).

calendar.
Semester End Examination (SEE) – 40 Marks
The Semester End Examination will be conducted for 80 marks for a duration
of 2½ hours and marks awarded will be scaled down to 40% weight.
Overall Assessment Scheme
The overall assessment scheme combines Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA)
and Semester End Examination (SEE) to provide a comprehensive evaluation of
student learning. The CIA carries a 60-mark weightage, comprising the Mid
Semester Examination (MSE) and Continuous Assessment Tools (CATs), while the
SEE carries a 40-mark weightage. The raw marks are proportionately converted
to the prescribed weightage, resulting in a total assessment of 100 marks.

Note
The Final Thesis/Project Evaluation shall be conducted by a duly constituted
Examination Committee for 80 marks. The evaluation shall be based on the
technical quality of the work, implementation/experimental validation,
innovation, dissertation, presentation, and viva voce. The marks obtained
shall be reduced to 40 marks for computing the Semester End Examination
(SEE) score.
- A student is required to score a minimum of 40% in continuous evaluation as
well as in the semester end examination and overall there should be 40% for
a pass in each course registered. Students will be awarded letter grades as
per university policy and the transcripts issued will have SGPA (Semester
Grade Point Average) and CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average).
