One of the examiners will be external and other examiner can be internal faculty who has requisite number of years of teaching experience. At any given point of time no examination should be conducted by only single external or only internal examiner) The average of marks awarded by both the examiners should be considered as final marks).

1. d) Passing Standards
   To pass a course the learner should obtain a minimum of 40% marks in aggregate out of the total marks allotted for each course where the course consists of Internal Assessment Theory, Internal Assessment Practical and Semester End Examinations. The learner should also obtain minimum of 40% marks (i.e. 10 out of 25 if the maximum marks allocated to Internal Assessment Theory is 25) out of the total marks allotted to the Internal Assessment. The learner should also obtain minimum of 40% marks (i.e. 20 out of 50 if the maximum marks allocated to Internal Assessment Practical is 50) out of the total marks allotted to the Internal Assessment Practical and minimum 40% marks out of the total marks allotted to the Semester End Examination (i.e. 30 out of 75 if the maximum marks allocated to the Semester End examination is 75) separately, to pass the course and a minimum of Grade D, wherever applicable, to pass a particular semester.

A learner should obtain a minimum of 40% marks out of the total marks allotted to a course in case that course consists of only Internal Assessment Component or only Semester End Exam component.

Performance Grading:

A 10-point grading system will be followed for declaration of results for both Under Graduate and Post Graduate programmes. It involves calculations for a Grade Point Average (GPA) and the final Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).

PROGRESSION RULES

A learner who has passed in all the courses (as per the rules of the Passing Standards) of Semester I and Semester II examinations of the first year of the programme will be promoted to the second year of the programme concerned. A learner who has passed in all the courses of Semester III and Semester IV examinations of the second year of the programme will be promoted to the programme concerned, of the third academic year. The result of Semester VI shall be kept in abeyance until the learner passes each of the previous five semesters.

A learner who fails to pass in one or more courses in Semester I examination will be “allowed to keep terms” (ATKT) and will be permitted to attend lectures and appear for the semester-end exams of Semester II.  This means that the learners will be allowed to keep terms for both the semesters during the first year of the programme, irrespective of the number of failures in any number of courses of the first and second semesters of that respective year of the programme. This criterion will apply to the subsequent years also.

Such failed learners will be allowed to appear at Semester-end re-examination in all the ‘failed courses’ which will be conducted after declaration of the results of each semester end examination of that academic year.  This re-examination will be held only once in an academic year and will be held immediately after declaration of the results of the semester concerned.

The learner is required to pay the prescribed fees for re-examinations before the commencement of the respective examination. Online applications for re-examinations (ATKT) along with the payment of prescribed fee before the designated date is a pre-condition for appearance at a re-examination. A learner will not be allowed to appear for the re-examination in case s/he fails to submit the re-examination form online within the s time frame stipulated by the college, through the student portal.

A learner who has failed to pass in not more than three courses in the respective year of the programme i.e. two semesters taken together, after the said re-examination (as mentioned in point no. 3 above) will also be permitted to apply for admission   to the next year of the programme. Such learners will be required to appear for the re-examination of the courses in which they have failed to pass. They will appear for the re-examination   conducted for the regular learners of the subsequent batch. A learner, who has failed to pass in more than 03 courses in the respective year of the programme i.e. both the semesters taken together, after the said re-examination (as mentioned in point no. 3 above), will not be allowed to continue to the next year of the programme. Such learners will be required to appear for the re- examination of the courses in which they have failed to pass. They will appear for the re-examination conducted for the regular learners of the subsequent batch. Such a learner will also have an option to take re-admission in the same year, which he/she failed to pass, of the programme.

The same criteria regarding re-examination as mentioned above shall be applied to Semester III and Semester IV of the second year of the programme and for Semester V and Semester VI of the third year of the programme.

With regard to promotion to the third year of the programme, a learner must have passed in all the courses of the first year of the programme.

VALIDITY OF PROGRAMMES

The learners should fulfil the requirements of the respective programmes as per the validity period given in the table below, including academic break. No readmission/ re-examination attempts will be granted after validity period is over. In case the validity period expires, the learner will have to seek admission, on merit basis, from the first year of the Programme.
