Assessment and ExamsThe assessment and grading of courses is based on a composite grade of assignments and final exams. All assignments are submitted by students according to a submission schedule that is known at the beginning of the semester. Students then prepare their assignments and submit these to faculty for assessment. All core courses carry at least 1 mandatory assignment requiring the submission of a formal, bound project report. There can be generally either one or two assignments per course. At the beginning of each term, these assignments are given to students for every subject on offer in a particular semester. These assignments necessitate research, field visits and reading and are submitted according to a strict deadline. The assignments generally constitute 40%-50% of the overall course grade depending on the subject. Each student must complete at least 1 Quiz, Test and Mock Exam per course per semester. These are mandatory and students who do not successfully complete these may not be able to take the final exams. A minimum attendance of 85% is required for each course to qualify for final exams. Examinations are conducted three times a year in February, June, and November. The final exam constitutes generally 50%-60% of the overall course grade depending on the course. |
