module of work, should be clearly discussed in the class committee meeting and
informed to the students.
• Analyzing the performance of the students of the class after each test and finding the
ways and means of solving problems, if any.

(a) Theory Courses
Three tests each carrying 100 marks shall be conducted during the semester by
the Department / College concerned. The total marks obtained in all tests put
together out of 300, shall be proportionately reduced for 15 marks and rounded
to the nearest integer (This also implies equal weightage to all the three tests).
(b) Practical Courses:
Every practical exercise / experiment shall be evaluated based on the exercise /

The maximum marks for Internal Assessment shall be 15 in case of theory

courses with Laboratory component.

If there is a theory course with Laboratory component, there shall be three tests:
the first two tests (each 100 marks) will be from theory portions and the third test
(maximum mark 100) will be for laboratory component. The sum of marks of first
two tests shall be reduced to 30 marks and the third test mark shall be reduced
to 30 marks. The sum of these 60 marks (Vide clause 11) may then be arrived at
for 15 and rounded to the nearest integer.

The Principal shall constitute a review committee for each branch of study. There shall be
three assessments (each 100 Marks) during the semester by the review committee. The
student shall make presentation on the progress made by him / her before the committee.

rounded to the nearest integer. (This also implies equal weightage to all the three
assessments).

11.3 Attendance
The remaining 5 marks for attendance shall be awarded as given below:
Theory and Practical courses and Project Work
76% to 80% of attendance - 1 mark
81% to 85% of attendance - 2 marks
86% to 90% of attendance - 3 marks
91% to 95% of attendance - 4 marks

the test marks and the record of class work (topic covered), separately for each course.
This should be submitted to the Head of the department periodically (at least three times
in a semester) for checking the syllabus coverage and the records of test marks and
attendance. The Head of the department will put his signature and date after due
verification. At the end of the semester, the record should be verified by the Principal who

A 9 81 – 90
B 8 71 – 80
C 7 61 – 70
D 6 56 – 60
E 5 50 – 55
RA 0 < 50
I 0
W 0
“RA” denotes reappearance is required for the examination in the course. (This grade

The Grade “I’ and “W” will figure only in the Result Sheets.
Grade sheet
After results are declared, Grade Sheets will be issued to each student which will contain
the following details:
The college in which the candidate has studied

and the points corresponding to the grades scored in those courses, taken for all the
courses, to the sum of the number of credits of all the courses in the semester to the sum
of the credits of all courses registered.

Sum of [C * GP]
GPA = ______________
