inAnnexure-1
9.2 Course Evaluation
The evaluation scheme for each course shall contain two parts
1) Internal assessment 2) External Evaluation
20% weight shall be given to the internal assessment. The remaining 80% weight shall be for
the external evaluation.
9.2.1. Internal Assessment
20% of the total marks in each course are for internal examinations.
The internal assessment shall be based on a predetermined transparent system involving written
tests, Class room participation based on attendance in respect of theory courses and lab
involvement/records attendance in respect of Practical Courses.
Internal assessment of the project will be based on its content, method of presentation, final
conclusion and orientation to research aptitude.
Components with percentage of marks of Internal Evaluation of Theory Courses are- Test
paper 40%, Assignment 20%, Seminar 20% and Class room participation based on attendance
20%.
For practical courses - Record 60% and lab involvement 40% as far as internal is concerned.
(If a fraction appears in internal marks, nearest whole number is to be taken)
For the test paper marks, at least one test paper should be conducted. If more test papers are
conducted, the mark of the best one should be taken.

To ensure transparency of the evaluation process, the internal assessment marks awarded to
the students in each course in a semester shall be notified on the notice board at least one
week before the commencement of external examination. There shall not be any chance for
improvement for internal marks. The course teacher(s) shall maintain the academic record of
each student registered for the course, after obtaining the signature of both course teacher and
Head of the Department.
The Split up of marks for Test paper and Class Room Participation (CRP) for internal
evaluation are as follows.

9.2.2. External Evaluation

External evaluation carries 80% of marks. All question papers shall be set by the College. The
external question papers may be of uniform pattern with 80/60 marks (The pattern is given in
the Annexure III). The courses with 2/3 credits will have an external examination of 2 hours
duration with 60 marks and courses with 4/5 credits will have an external examination of 2.5
hours duration with 80 marks.

The external examination in theory courses is to be conducted by the College with question
papers set by external experts. The evaluation of the answer scripts shall be done by
examiners based on a well-defined scheme of valuation and answer keys shall be provided by
the College. The external examination in practical courses shall be conducted by two
examiners – one internal and an external. The project evaluation with viva can be conducted
either internal or external which may be decided by the Board of Studies concerned.
(Guidelines are given in the Annexure II).
After the external evaluation only marks are to be entered in the answer scripts. All other
calculations including grading are done by the Controller of Examinations.
9.2.3. Revaluation: In the new system of grading, revaluation is permissible. The prevailing
rules of revaluation are applicable to FCCBCSS-UG2019.
Students can apply for photocopies of answer scripts of external examinations. Applications
for photocopies/scrutiny/revaluation should be submitted within 10 days of publication of
results. The fee for this shall be as decided by the College.
INDIRECT GRADING SYSTEM
10.1 Indirect grading System based on a 10-point scale is used to evaluate the performance of
students.

10.2 Each course is evaluated by assigning marks with a letter grade (O, A+, A, B+, B, C, P,
F, I or Ab) to that course by the method of indirect grading. (Annexure I).

10.3 An aggregate of P grade (after external and internal put together) is required in each
course for a pass and also for awarding a degree (A minimum of 20% marks in external
evaluation is needed for a pass in a course. But no separate pass minimum is needed for internal
evaluation). No separate grade/mark for internal and external will be displayed in the grade card;
only an aggregate grade will be displayed. Also the aggregate mark of internal and external are
not displayed in the grade card.

10.4 A student who fails to secure a minimum grade for a pass in a course is permitted to write
 the examination along with the next batch.

10.5 After the successful completion of a semester, Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) of
a student in that semester is calculated using the formula given below. For the successful
completion of a semester, a student should pass all courses. However, a student is permitted to
move to the next semester irrespective of SGPA obtained.

SGPA of the student in that semester is calculated using the formula

Sum of the credit points of all courses in a semester

SGPA = -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Total credits in that semester

10.6 The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of the student is calculated at the end of
a programme. The CGPA of a student determines the overall academic level of the student in
a programme and is the criterion for ranking the students. CGPA can be calculated by the
following formula.
Total credit points obtained in six semesters
CGPA = ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Total credits acquired (120)
10.7 SGPA and CGPA shall be rounded off to three decimal places. CGPA determines the
broad academic level of the student in a programme and is the index for ranking students (in
terms of grade points). An overall letter grade (cumulative grade) for the entire programme
shall be awarded to a student depending on her/his CGPA (Annexure-I)
GRADE CARD
11.1 The College shall issue to the students grade/marks card (by online) on completion of
each semester, which shall contain the following information:
• Name of University
• Name of College
• Title of UG Programme
• Semester concerned
• Name and Register Number of student
• Code number, Title and Credits of each Course opted in the semester
• Letter grade in each course in the semester
• The total credits, total credit points and SGPA in the Semester (corrected to three decimal
places)
11.2 The final Grade card issued at the end of the final semester shall contain the details of
all courses taken during the entire programme including those taken over and above the
 prescribed minimum credits for obtaining the degree. The final grade card shall show CGPA
(corrected to three decimal places), percentage of marks (corrected to two decimal places) and
the overall letter grade of a student for the entire programme. The final grade card shall also
include the CGPA and percentage of marks of common courses, core courses, complementary
courses and open courses separately. This is to be done in a 10- point indirect scale. The final
Grade card also contain the list of Audit courses passed and the details of Extra credits.
11.3 Evaluation of Audit courses: The examination shall be conducted by the college

Marks)
b) External evaluation (external examiner appointed by the College.)
c) Grade for the project will be awarded to candidates, combining the internal and
external marks.
3. The internal to external components is to be taken in the ratio 1:4. Assessment of different
components may be taken as below.

Internal (20% of total) External (80% of Total)

Components Percentage of internal Components

The evaluation scheme for each course shall contain two parts

1) Internal assessment 2)External Evaluation

20% weight shall be given to the internal assessment. The remaining 80% weight shall be
for the external evaluation.

Internal Assessment : 20% of the total marks in each course are for internal examinations. The
internal assessment shall be based on a predetermined transparent system involving written tests,
Class room participation based on attendance in respect of theory courses and lab
involvement/records attendance in respect of Practical Courses.

33
 Internal assessment of the project will be based on its content, method of presentation, final
conclusion and orientation to research aptitude.

Components with percentage of marks of Internal Evaluation of Theory Courses are- Test paper
40%, Assignment 20%, Seminar 20% and Class room participation based on attendance 20%

Table 1: Components for evaluation

For practical courses - Record 60% and lab involvement 40% as far as internal is concerned. (if a
fraction appears in internal marks, nearest whole number is to be taken)

For the test paper marks, at least one test paper should be conducted. If more test papers are
conducted, the mark of the best one should be taken.
