7. Evaluation System and Students’ Responsibilities


Evaluation System
The internal evaluation of a student may consist of assignments, attendance, term-exams, lab
reports and projects etc. The tabular presentation of the internal evaluation is as follows:

Internal Evaluation Weight Marks External Evaluation Marks


Theory 30 Semester End 50
Attendance &Class Participation 10%
Assignments 20%
Presentations/Quizzes 10%
Internal Assessment 60%
Practical 20
Attendance &Class Participation 10%
Lab Report/Project Report 20%
Practical Exam/Project Work 40%
Viva 30%

3
Total Internal 50
Full Marks: 50 + 50 = 100

Students’ Responsibilities
Each student must secure at least 45% marks separately in internal assessment and practical
evaluation with 80% attendance in the class in order to appear in the Semester End Examination.
Failing to get such score will be given NOT QUALIFIED (NQ) to appear the Semester-End
Examinations. Students are advised to attend all the classes, formal exam, test, etc. and complete
all the assignments within the specified time period. Students are required to complete all the
requirements defined for the completion of the course.
