EXAMINATION SYSTEM @ LPU

STUDENT EVALUATION
Purpose : To evaluate the transfer of learning throughout the period of teaching . Instead of one point evaluation at term end.

STUDENT EVALUATION
Components of evaluation :
Continuous Assessment(CA) Attendance Academic Tasks (AT) Mid-Term Exams(MTE) End-Term Exams(ETE) Weightage of CA, MTE & ETE for various courses is specified in the course syllabus.

Marks for attendance in each course

Attendance % 90% or more 85% or more but less that 90% 80% or more but less that 85% 75% or more but less that 80% 70% or more but less that 75% Less that 70% Marks (out of 100) 5 4 3 2 1 0

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR APPEARING IN ETE

Operational attendance requirement is 70%

IF: Aggregate Attendance 70% Aggregate attendance 50% < 70% Aggregate Attendance < 50%

THEN: Allowed to appear in ETE of all Courses Only appear in those courses where attendance 70%. Cannot appear in ETE of any course

BONUS ATTENDANCE
However we understand that there may be some unforeseen circumstances, and to account for this we shall consider your attendance for the immediate last two terms (sum of the aggregate bonus attendance percentage of immediate last two terms) and allow bonus percentage in a term . If a student is in his first term, bonus attendance will be calculated on Double the attendance either before MTE or after MTE, which ever is higher. This facility only enables you to appear in the examination. It does not facilitate in gaining any extra marks.

BONUS ATTENDANCE
The following allowance will be given to all the students to take care of exigencies like medical or immobilization due to any valid reasons:
Attendance % age in aggregate in the previous term (s) 90% or more 85% or more but less that 90% Bonus % age available 10 8

80% or more but less that 85%

75% or more but less that 80% 70% or more but less that 75%

This facility only enables you to appear in the examination. It does not facilitate in gaining any extra marks.

Eexample : bonus calculation for a freshman

If aggregate attendance at the end of Term I is 65%

Agg. attendance before was MTE 50%

Agg. attendance after was MTE 80% Bonus = 2 x 10= 20% Final aggregate attendance shall be 65+20 = 85% This student is eligible to appear in the ETE of all courses but will NOT get any marks for attendance in any course i.e one looses 5% marks in each course.

GRADING SYSTEM
Letter A+ A B BC CD E F I S U Grade Performance Grade Point____ Outstanding 10 Very good 9 Good 8 Above Average 7 Average 6 Below Average 5 Marginal 4 Reappear 0 Failing 0 Incomplete -Satisfactory (for zero credit course only) Unsatisfactory (for zero credit course only)____

PASS GRADE AND PASSING CRITERIA

To obtain Pass Grade (A+, A, B, B-, C, C- and D) in a course, a student must obtain minimum 35% marks in the course as a whole (Attendance + CA + MTE + ETE) subject to Scoring minimum 30% marks in ETE

or
Scoring minimum 30% in ETE and MTE together.

RE-APPEAR GRADE E AND REAPPEAR EXAM

In case student is not able to meet the passing condition, E grade will be awarded. To clear E grade courses, a student will have the following options: Option- I : Appear for RE-APPEAR Exam (if student wants to retain the CA) OR Option II: RE-REGISTER the course as a backlog course (if student wants to improve the CA) The weightage of the re-appear exam will be equal to weightage of MTE + ETE

for that course.

The student may apply for re-appearing in the course in which E grade was awarded. If one is still not able to pass, E grade gets converted to F grade. the immediate NEXT THREE reappear examinations held after the term in which the student has registered

FAIL GRADE F
F grade will be awarded in only three cases:

Case I : Student does not satisfy the attendance requirement for being
eligible to appear in the End Term examination. or Case II : Student has availed all the chances for re-appearing in ETE for clearing E grade in a course. or - Case III : F grade awarded by the Unfair Means Case (UMC) Board . To clear F grade student has to re-register the course and attend classes and appear for all components of evaluation (CA, MTE and ETE).

IMPROVEMENT EXAMINATION
In case a student after obtaining the Pass Grade, wants to improve his result, he will have two options: Option 1: Reappear for the course In this case the best grade shall prevail Option2: Re-register the course The Best Grade will prevail.

QUESTION PAPER
Pattern of question paper : Diploma Degree

Nature of Questions :
Analytical Memory based

Important : Ratio of analytical to memory based questions varies across the 2 levels of question papers

Analytical v/s Memory Based

Memory based questions : which can be answered on the basis of recall. Analytical questions : The students are required to apply their mind to decide what to recall , the questions relate to real life situations as far as possible.

SCRUTINY
Transparency : Opportunity to see the answer books of MTE and ETE

THE RESULT

TGPA : Term Grade Point Average CGPA : Cumulative Grade Point Average

TGPA
Performance of a student in particular term is measured by TGPA. It is a weighted average of the grades secured in all the courses taken in a term.

where, Cn is the number of credits associated with the nth course of a term. Gn is the grade point earned in the nth course , and the summation extends over all the courses in which grades are obtained.

CGPA
It indicates the overall academic performance of a student in all the courses registered up to and including the latest completed term.
Computed in same manner as TGPA, the summation extends over all courses in which a student was registered up to and including the term for which CGPA is calculated TGPA CGPA

Important:
The calculation of TGPA/CGPA will include the credits for courses in which the student has been awarded E or F grades.

PROMOTION TO NEXT YEAR
