Attendancee

A student who has fulfilled the following conditions shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements for completion of a semester.

Ideally every student is expected to attend all classes of all the courses and secure 100% attendance.

However, in order to make provision for certain unavoidable reasons such as medical / participation in sports, the student is expected to attend at least 75% of the classes.

Therefore, the student shall secure not less than 75% (after rounding off to the nearest integer) of overall attendance for each semester. However, a student who secures overall attendance between 65% and 74% in the current semester due to medical reasons (prolonged hospitalization / accident / specific illness) / participation in sports events may be permitted to appear for the current semester examinations, subject to the condition that the student shall submit the medical certificate / sports participation certificate attested by the Head of the Institution.

Students who secure less than 65% overall attendance shall not be permitted to write the end semester examination and not permitted to move to the next semester. They are required to repeat the incomplete semester in the next academic year, as per the norms prescribed.

Candidates who have earned more than 50% attendance but fall short of the basic requirement of 65% attendance (in all subjects of the current semester put together) shall be permitted to proceed to the next semester, only one time during the course of study by considering all the papers in that current semester as absent and to complete the program of study. For such candidates by default, the classification of class shall be Second class on successful passing of course.

Board Examination

Performance in each course of study shall be evaluated for a maximum of 100 marks based on one of the following:

(a) Continuous Assessment [40%]:

Continuous assessment shall be carried out for 100 marks [summation of multiple CAs] for all types of courses and converted to 40 marks.

Every subject shall have its own framework for continuous assessment designed by the course committee and approved by the academic board as part of the curriculum. The continuous assessment shall be awarded as per the assessment proposed in respective syllabus.

For One credit courses and Advanced Skill Certification programs, no end semester examination shall be conducted, and final grade will be awarded based on continuous assessment only for 100 marks.

(b) End Semester Examination [60%]:

The End Semester Examination will be conducted for 100 marks and shall be converted to 60 marks in the final results. The End Semester Examinations (Theory, Practical, Project) of three hours duration will be conducted.

For Practicum courses, the end semester examination will be conducted as a theory or a practical or a project examination based on the credits for each component, the decision on the mode of exam could be based on the recommendation by the internal committee duly forwarded and approved by Head of the Institute.

Every practical exercise/experiment shall be evaluated based on conduct of exercise / experiment and records to be maintained, students shall submit a record work duly completed and signed by faculty in charge and the Head of the Department.

For the project works, the Department will constitute a three-member faculty committee to monitor the progress of the project and conduct reviews regularly.

If the projects are done in-house, the students must obtain the bonafide certificate for project work from the project guide and Head of the Department, at the end of the semester. Students who have not obtained the bonafide certificate are not permitted to appear for the project Viva Voce examination.

For the projects carried out in Industry, the students must submit a separate certificate from Industry apart from the regular Bonafide certificate mentioned above. For Industry related projects there must be one Mentor / Supervisor from Industry (External), this is in addition to the regular faculty supervision.

The final examination for project work will be evaluated based on the final report submitted by the project group (of not exceeding four students), and the viva voce by an external examiner. The split up of marks for Internal and End Semester Viva Voce can follow the below mentioned rubrics,

Internal Mark Split (40 Marks)			End Semester (60)
Review 1 (10 Marks)	Review 2 (15 Marks)	Review 3 (15 Marks)	Record (20 Marks)	Presentation (20 Marks)	Viva Voce (20 Marks)
Committee: 5 Marks Supervisor: 5 Marks	Committee: 7.5 Marks Supervisor: 7.5 Marks	Committee: 7.5 Marks Supervisor: 7.5 Marks	External: 10 Internal: 5 Supervisor: 5	External: 10 Internal: 5 Supervisor: 5	External: 10 Internal: 5 Supervisor: 5

Students who are unable to complete the project work at the end of the semester can apply for an extension to the Head of the Department, with the recommendation from the project guide for a period of a maximum of two months. For those students who extend the project work for two months, Viva Voce will be carried out and results will be declared separately. If the project report is not submitted even beyond the extended time, then students are not eligible to appear for Project Viva Voce Examination.

The performance of each student in the project group would be evaluated in a viva voce examination conducted by a committee consisting of an external examiner and the Department project coordinator as an internal examiner.

If a student indulges in malpractice in any of the End Semester Examination / Internal Examinations, student will be liable for punitive action as prescribed by the college from time to time.
