student undergoes during a semester, there will be a continuous assessment,
The weights to be given to each activity such as case presentation, class
participation, seminars, mid-term and End term examination are as follows:

7. REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF A COURSE &

7.1 Students must attend every lecture, seminar and practical classes. However,
in order to provide for illness and such other contingencies, a minimum
attendance percentage has been prescribed for each course. Percentage of
attendance of a student in a course will be the number of classes attended in
that course divided by the number of the classes actually conducted from the
date of his admission and multiplied by 100. A student can appear in the
semester examination for a particular course only when he has put in a
minimum attendance of 75% in that course.
7.2 A student who has not satisfied the minimum attendance requirement of 75%
will not be allowed to appear for the semester examination in that course. In
such a case the student will have to repeat the course in the corresponding
semester during the next year, thereby losing one year.
7.3 A student should appear for the semester examinations in all the regular
Courses (pertaining to that semester) in which he has satisfied the attendance
requirements.
7.4 A candidate is considered to have passed a course if he secures a minimum
grade D in that course. Though there is no minimum marks for internal
component students are expected to secure minimum of 50% in the End
semester examination and the student will be declared to have been
passed if they secure minimum of 50 marks taking in to account both
internal and End semester examination. A candidate who does not pass a
course during a semester will have to reappear for the semester examination
for that course whenever offered next and secure the minimum passing mark
in the examination and also a minimum passing grade D taking into account
all other internal assessment grades along with semester examination marks.
7.5 For the project work, the scheme of evaluation will be based on the Report
Presentation & Viva-Voce.

PROMOTION
8.1 Course-wise grades are awarded to the students by adopting the following
scheme, based on the weights already discussed in 5.2.
