Transparent & Continuous Evaluation Approach
Examination is the fundamental tool to evaluate the students’ grasp of the subjects they study and adjudge their performance in the courses they pursue. The University has adopted the Semester pattern of study. This is accomplished through Continuous Assessment as well as Semester End Examination.
In CA, the students are evaluated through tests, home assignments, quiz, class room interaction and the like for internal assessment and also to make them more competent in various skills of learning. The scheme has been designed to encourage the students to gain an in-depth study of their subjects.

The evaluation for CA is done internally and focused on assessment of various skills and knowledge acquired by the student and is basically a formative assessment whereas the SEE/TEE/YEE evaluation is a summative assessment to test the learning over a semester/trimester /year acquired is done by involving External Examiners as well. This evaluation pattern is uniformly applicable to all Under-graduate and Post-graduate programmes.
