Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS): The university follows CBCS, which allows students to choose courses and earn credits based on their performance. Grades and GPA: Students are awarded grades for each course in a semester, and their Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is calculated to measure their academic performance. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is used to evaluate the overall performance of a student across all semesters. Prescribed Curriculum: Each programme has a prescribed curriculum or Scheme of Teaching and Evaluation, which includes the required courses, laboratories, and other degree requirements. It also incorporates SWAYAM and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offered by reputed institutions. Auditing Courses: Students have the option to audit courses, allowing them to gain additional exposure without the pressure of obtaining a grade. This can offer an advantage during placements. Evaluation System: The evaluation of students is comprehensive and continuous throughout the semester. It consists of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) and Semester End Examination (SEE), each carrying a 50% weightage, totalling 100 marks per course. Assessment Methods: Before each semester, faculty may choose assessment methods such as assignments, seminars, quizzes, group discussions, case studies, practical activities, class presentations, and industry reports. Semester End Examination: A SEE is conducted for all registered courses at the end of each semester. Some courses with Continuous Internal Evaluation may not require a SEE. Makeup Examinations: Students who fail the SEE in one or more courses are eligible for makeup examinations to improve their grades.
