Programme Assessment

1. Continuous & Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE)

CMRU emphasises learning by doing, with assessments built around hands-on activities, team projects, design thinking, and case studies. The CCE framework supports continuous assessment of students in both academic and soft-skill domains.

2. Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC)

The IQAC ensures credibility and consistency across evaluation mechanisms. It oversees assessment processes, modern pedagogical tools, and supports continuous improvement in academic delivery.

3. Student Portal & Transparency

Students have access to a dedicated Student Portal where attendance, CCE marks, and Internal Assessment Test (IAT) scores are updated and viewable in real time.

4. Fieldwork, Projects & Internships

University programmes are designed to include field projects, research components, and internships as part of their evaluation especially in disciplines where practical skills are necessary.

5. Feedback-Driven Iteration

CMRU routinely collects structured feedback from students, alumni, faculty, employers, and academic peers using it to refine both curriculum and assessment strategies.
