The institution follows formative and summative assessment approaches as a mechanism of internal assessment.

• Formative and Summative Assessment Approaches:

Summative Assessment: As far as the summative assessment is concerned, the institution follows a Centralized Continuous Internal Evaluation System. The main objective of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at regular intervals by conducting CIA Tests, term end Examinations, Classroom assessment and Projects, Viva- Voce and Practicals.

Academic performance of students is evaluated both by Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) and University Semester Examinations. The following is the ratio of marks allotted for CIA and University Examinations.

 20% of the total marks in each course is assessed by CIA Tests, Model Examinations, Assignments/ Seminars and Attendance in respect of theory courses and Lab involvement and records in respect of Practical/Viva-Voce.

The College conducts one CIA Tests per semester in a centralised manner and two CIA class tests. Attendance in all the three CIA tests is compulsory. CIA Exam Timetable is duly prepared and circulated among the students in advance. Portions for CIA’s are divided according to the unit based on the syllabus. For CIA Test I, Unit I & II is the syllabus and CIA Test II, Unit III & IV is the syllabus and CIA Test III, Unit V and all rest of all the units are the portions.

To ensure transparency of the evaluation process, the marks allotted are displayed on the Notice Board. Internal Marks are calculated on the basis of the marks secured in the tests, seminars/ assignments, classroom performance. There is no internal minimum and the candidate has to secure 40% to pass in UG and 50% pass in PG, M. Phil. and Ph. D. Internal marks are not given to the absentees.

The test papers of both theory and practical are distributed to the students after every internal test. The students shall go through the answer script, check and acknowledge the marks secured and return the paper to the faculty concerned. The test papers are preserved in the departments till the completion of the student’s course of study. Test marks will be displayed on the Department Notice Board.
