One Classroom Session = 60 minutes

F. EVALUATION & GRADING

Students will be evaluated based on the following 3 points.

S. No. Assessment Weightage Schedule
1 Internal Assessment (IA) 60% Detailed Below
2 End-semester Examination (ESE) 40% Academic Calendar
F1. INTERNAL ASSESSMENT: WEIGHTAGE – 60%
Internal Assessment shall be done based on the following:

S. No. Description % of Weightage out of 60%

1 Assignment 1 / Test 10
3 Assignment 2 10
3 Assignment 3/ Test 10
4. Project 30

F2. Internal Assessment Record Sheet will be displayed online at the end of semester i.e. last week of regular
classroom teaching.

F3. CLASS TESTS: Two Class Tests based on descriptive type theoretical & numerical questions based on
objective type questions will be held; one class test and one quiz at least ten days before the Mid Term
Examination and second class test and second quiz at least ten days before the End Term Examination.
Those who do not appear in Viva-Voce and quiz examinations shall lose their marks.
The marks obtained by the students will be displayed on LMS a week before the start of Mid Term and
End Term Examinations respectively.

F4. ASSIGNMENTS: After completion of a concept, there will be home assignments based on theory and
numerical problems. Those who fail to submit the assignments by the due date shall lose their marks.

F5. GENERAL DISCIPLINE: Based on student’s regularity, punctuality, sincerity and participation in the
interactions.
The marks obtained by the students will be displayed on LMS at the end of semester.

F6. END TERM EXAMINATION: WEIGHTAGE – 40%

End Term Examination shall be Three Hours duration and shall be a combination of Short and Long
theory/numerical Questions.

F7. GRADING:
The overall marks obtained at the end of the semester comprising all the above three mentioned shall be
converted to a grade.

G. Slow and Advanced Learners

Identification of slow & advanced learners and supporting methodology.

GUIDELINES:

Cell Phones and other Electronic Communication Devices: Cell phones and other electronic communication
devices (such as Blackberries/Laptops) are not permitted in classes during Tests or the Mid/Final Examination.
Such devices MUST be turned off in the class room.
.

Attendance: Students are required to have minimum attendance of 80% in each subject. Students with less
than said percentage shall NOT be allowed to appear in the end semester examination.

Course outcome assessment: To assess the fulfilment of course outcomes two different approaches have been
decided. Degree of fulfillment of course outcomes will be assessed in different ways through direct assessment
and indirect assessment. In Direct Assessment, it is measured through quizzes, tests, assignment, Mid-term
and/or End-term examinations. It is suggested that each examination is designed in such a way that it can
address one or two outcomes (depending upon the course completion). Indirect assessment is done through the
student survey which needs to be designed by the faculty (sample format is given below) and it shall be
conducted towards the end of course completion. The evaluation of the achievement of the Course Outcomes
shall be done by analyzing the inputs received through Direct and Indirect Assessments and then corrective
actions suggested for further improvement Capping.

Passing criterion: Student has to secure minimum 40% marks of “highest marks in the class scored by a student
in subject” individually in both ‘End-Semester examination’ and ‘Total Marks’ in order to pass in that paper.

 Passing Criterion for B. Tech: Minimum 40% of the marks in the end semester.
