1. Internal Assessment:

The internal assessment scheme is being implemented in the University since 2003-2004 in both undergraduate & postgraduate degree courses.

25% marks in each Theory paper are assigned for internal assessment & the remaining 75% for the annual examination. The 25% marks of internal assessment are calculated as follows:

(i) 10% weightage is given to House examinations (half yearly examinations) to be conducted by each college, preferably in the beginning of 3rd term or end of 2nd term.

(ii) 10% weightage is given to written assignments/tutorials/project reports/term papers/seminars etc. A total of four assignments/project per paper will have to be done in the entire year.

(iii) 5% weightage is given for regularity in attending lectures and tutorials as follows:

More than 67% but less than 70% — 1 mark

70% or more but less than 75% — 2 marks

75% or more but less than 80% — 3 marks

80% or more but less than 85% — 4 marks

85% and above — 5 marks

2. Attendance

Regular attendance of students at Lectures, Practicals and Tutorials is expected throughout the session beginning from the first day of college. Every student should have a minimum required attendance of 75% in each subject, separately in theory, practical and tutorial by the end of each academic year. In case of absence from classes, the student herself will be responsible for giving the reason for her absence directly to the lecturer concerned. Any student who has been ill, should submit a medical certificate for the period of illness to the Class Advisor immediately on joining the college

Students who are admitted late to the Institute will be responsible for making up the attendance. The attendance will be displayed on the notice board at the end of every term. Students can also check their attendance by accessing their home page through OMV card. It is the duty of every student to ensure that she has the requisite attendance. In case of sickness, students will be granted sick leave on production of medical certificate from civil surgeon/registered medical practitioner but this will not affect the rules regarding minimum attendance. Medical certificates will be excluded while calculating credit towards marks to be awarded. Students who do not fulfill the required attendance will not be allowed to appear for the final examinations.

3. Leave

Any student wishing to absent herself from the Institute must submit an application on the prescribed form available from the Institute office in advance. If the leave is asked on medical grounds, a medical certificate should be submitted. However, leave sanctioned does not condone attendance. Application for leave on medical grounds for the half-yearly examination days must be made either in advance or on the date of the examination on which the student is unable to appear due to sickness. Application for leave received after the examination is over will not be considered. Applications not made in proper form and not bearing the signature of the guardian/parent will not be entertained.
