The university examination and evaluation system is coordinated by the Office of the Controller of Examinations. The incumbent reports directly to the Provost and works in association with the Dean of various schools/departments.

2. Aim

The aims of the examination and evaluation system are as follows. a) To improve the standards of academic quality at the University. b) To assess the student’s understanding of the concepts related to a subject. c) To evaluate the performance of students. d) To encourage the students to improve their performance.

3. Conduct of Examinations The University follows a continuous evaluation system. Evaluations of each semester will be in one or more of the following steps. The break up of the marks for each will be decided and informed to the students by the Controller of Examination.

a) Mid Term Exam b) Assignments c) Practical d) Final Exam

The continuous evaluation procedures include but are not limited to written examination, practical examinations, assignments, viva voce, seminars and project work. One or more combinations are adopted to ensure fair assessment and motivate students and encourage them to improve their personal scores.

4. Attendance

5. Setting of the Question Papers The question papers are set to ensure fair mix of questions from the entire syllabus and the course curriculum. The question papers also include questions on problem solving and application of areas of study. The questions may be selected from a pool of question banks at the University. The length of question papers is so adjusted that the students have a fair amount of time to read the question paper, attempt the questions and have some time to review the answer sheets before submission. The question paper also mentions the Total Marks, Minimum pass marks, marks for each question for the students to answer the question with relevant details. The question paper may be set in one or more parts depending on the subject. The question paper may be descriptive, multiple choice type, fill in the blanks, correct the answer, and select true or false type of questions. The question paper may include one or more combinations of the abovementioned questions. The master answer sheets/answer keys are also prepared to ensure standardization of the evaluation process. The University involves external paper setters, where deemed necessary, to ensure transparency and avoid leakage of question papers. External paper setters are normally requested from a set of academicians who are subject experts.

6. Use of Unfair Means During Examinations The students are advised against using unfair means during the examinations. They are warned that use of unfair means will invite punishment including suspension from the course. Internal and external invigilators ensure fair conduct of the examination process. All cases of use of unfair means are reported to university disciplinary committee. Unfair means include, but not limited to, use of cell phones, communication to outside world or in the examination hall without permission, copying etc. 7. Evaluation of Answer Sheets University will lay down marking and grading system to rate the understanding of the subject by the student. The answer sheets are evaluated by the internal faculty. The answers are checked with respect to a master sheet/answer keys to ensure standardization. A percentage of the question papers may be sent to external examiners to ensure fair evaluation procedure.
