EVALUATION :-

The performance of the candidate in each semester shall be evaluated subject-wise, with a maximum of 100 marks for theory and 100 marks for practicals, on the basis of Internal Evaluation and End Semester Examination.

9.1

For the theory subjects 60 marks shall be awarded based on the performance in the End Semester Examination, 40 marks shall be awarded based on the Internal Evaluation. The internal evaluation shall be made based on the average of the marks secured in the two Mid Term-Examinations conducted one in the middle of the Semester and the other immediately after the completion of subject lecture. Each mid term examination shall be conducted for a duration of 120 minutes with 4 questions out of 6 questions to be answered. For practical subjects, 60 marks shall be awarded based on the performance in the End Semester Examinations, 40 marks shall be awarded based on the dayto-day performance as Internal Marks. There shall be a seminar presentation during 3rd semester. For seminar, a student under the supervision of a faculty member, shall collect the literature on a topic and critically review the literature and submit it to the Head of Faculty in a report form and shall make an oral presentation before the Departmental Committee. The Departmental Committee consists of Head of the Faculty, supervisor, one senior faculty member of the Faculty and a university nominee. The Departmental Committee will evaluate the seminar for 50 marks. A candidate has to secure a minimum of 50% to be declared successful. A candidate shall be deemed to have secured the minimum academic requirement in a subject if he secures a minimum of 40% of marks in the End Examination and a minimum aggregate of 50% of the total marks in the End Semester Examination and Internal Evaluation taken together. In case the candidate does not secure the minimum academic requirement in any subject (as specified in 9.4) he has to reappear for the End Examination in that subject.
