Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)

• The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is 50%.
• The minimum passing mark for the CIE is 40% of the maximum marks (20 marks out of 50).
• The minimum passing mark for the SEE is 35% of the maximum marks (18 marks out of 50).
• A student shall be deemed to have satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/ course if the student secures not less than 35% (18 Marks out of 50) in the semester-end examination(SEE), and a minimum of 40% (40 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End Examination) taken together.

Continuous Internal Evaluation(CIE):

Three Tests each of 20 Marks;

• 1st, 2nd, and 3rd tests shall be conducted after completion of the syllabus of 30-35%, 70-75%, and 90-100% of the course/s respectively.
• Assignments/Seminar/quiz/group discussion /field survey & report presentation/ course project/Skill development activities, suitably planned to attain the COs and POs for a total of 40 Marks. If the nature of the courses requires assignments/Seminars/Quizzes/group discussion two evaluation components shall be conducted. If course project/field survey/skill development activities etc then the evaluation method shall be one. Total CIE marks (out of 100 marks) shall be scaled down to 50 marks

Semester End Examination(SEE):

Theory SEE will be conducted by University as per the scheduled timetable, with common question papers for the subject (duration 03 hours)

• The question paper shall be set for 100 marks. The medium of the question paper shall be English). The duration of SEE is 03 hours.
• The question paper will have 10 questions. Two questions per module. Each question is set for 20 marks. The students have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module. The student has to answer for 100 marks and marks scored out of 100 shall be proportionally reduced to 50 marks.
• There will be 2 questions from each module. Each of the two questions under a module (with a maximum of 3 sub-questions), should have a mix of topics under that module.
