STRUCTURE OF EXAMINATION CELL
STRUCTURE OF EVALUATION IN AUTONOMOUS SYSTEM
Evaluation In a Semester is in Two Parts:
(i) Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE): CIE will include Continuous Assessments (CA), Mid Semester Examinations (MSE) and Attendance (ATT) in classes.
(ii) End Semester Exam (ESE)

Awarding of Grades:
(i) At the end of the Semester, each student will be awarded a Letter Grade and corresponding grade points in each registered course for the Semester depending on the overall performance which consists of CIE and ESE.
(ii) A Relative Grading Scale will be adopted for awarding Letter Grades and Grade points for B.Tech/M.Tech/MBA/MCA. For B.Pharm/M.Pharm absolute grading will be adopted as per PCI norms.
Grade Letters & Grade Points
| grade | gradePoint | interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| A+ | 10 | Outstanding |
| A | 9 | Excellent |
| B+ | 8 | Very Good |
| B | 7 | Good |
| C+ | 6 | Satisfactory |
| C | 5 | Average |
| D | 4 | Pass |
| FF | 0 | Fail |
| AB | 0 | Absent in End Semester Examination due to some reason |
| DT | Detained |
UFM Cases: :
(i) If an instance of unfair means is detected, the room invigilator or Flying Squad member will confiscate the incriminating materials and the answer booklet and promptly report the incident to the officer in charge using the designated form.
(ii) Statement of Defense from the students concerned will be taken on the UFM cases if interested.
(iii) Decision will be taken as per the UFM Policy.
(iv) The decision of the Executive UFM Committee will be final in all cases.
Computation of SGPA, CGPA
SGPA (Si)= ΣCiXG i----------ΣCi
where Ci is the number of credits of the ith course and Gi is the grade point scored by the student in the ith course considering all courses registered in that Semester (including those with Fail or Absent Grades) CGPA = ΣCiXG i----------ΣCiconsidering all courses registered until that Semester.
Vacation Exam
Students with backlogs (only FF grades) shall get the benefit of vacation examinations for clearing backlogs.
- Eligibility:Vacation Examinations are only for students who have backlogs in the most recent end semester exams.
- Purpose:They are offered a one-time opportunity to clear these backlogs without reflecting them on the grade card.
- Exclusions:Students with backlogs due to UFM (Unfair Means) or Absent cases are not eligible.
- Timeline:These exams are held within 15 days of the result announcement.
If a student fails to clear a backlog in the Vacation Examination, the course will remain as a backlog and must be carried into the next academic year. The student will then need to clear it during the End Semester Examination of the same semester in which the backlog was originally incurred.
Summer Semester
- Students who have been detained in a few courses of Odd and Even semesters have to register for summer semester for the detained courses.
- Students can register for maximum 16 credits in the summer semester. If a student is detained in more than 16 credits, then he/she has to register for the remaining courses in the summer semester of the next academic session. Fees will be applicable as decided by the Finance committee.
Exam Schedule
The tentative dates for all examinations will be provided in the academic / Examination calendar. A detailed day- and shift-wise schedule will be shared on ERP at least one week before the examination. Students can view the schedule in the student's login.
Hall Ticket
- For MSE, the Hall Ticket for the examination will be your college ID card. In case ID card is misplaced, students can take the hardcopy of Hall Ticket from their ERP login.
- For ESE, hard copy of Hall Ticket is mandatory for entry to Examination Hall.
- Hall Ticket will be visible only to those who are eligible for appearing in a MSE or ESE.
- ID cards are mandatory for all students for entry to Examination Hall.
Seating Plan
Seating plan for a particular examination shall be either communicated through e-mail or can be viewed in student's login in ERP. Students should also see their seat arrangement once before every examination since seating plan is dynamic in nature.
Question Papers
The format of the question paper will be discussed by course teachers in the class. However, question papers would comprise of varying degrees of difficulty, including 'Easy', 'Average', and 'Difficult'. It Covers all the units of the course uniformly.
Detention Policy
To be eligible for the Mid Semester Examination and the End Semester Examination, students must maintain a minimum attendance of 75% in all courses, as stipulated by the UGC Guidelines.
If a student has less than 75% attendance in any course, including audit courses, and has not completed 100% of the term work to the satisfaction of the Head of the Institution, they will be detained and not permitted to appear for the End Semester Examination (ESE). In such cases, the student must re-register for the courses when they are offered ne
