PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE EXAMINATIONS

• Look for the important dates, announced by the Principal. Mark them in your Handbook. Stick to the schedule.
• Look at the notice board for your regularity in attendance. Candidates, who don’t have 75% of the total attendance, are not permitted to sit for the examinations. However, you may, with 60% to 74% of attendance, condone the examinations, only on genuine reasons based on the Medical Certificate issued by the competent authority. If you have less than 60% of the attendance, you are not eligible for the examinations. You are to re-do the concerned semester/semesters after the completion of the entire programme of study.
• Update the College office staff (Aided / Unaided) for Attendance, with your ‘On duty’ attendance certificates, well in advance. Late submission of attendance certificates would not be honored. Be an early bird. Seek the advice of your Tutor/Head of the Department.
• Do all your examination-related work by yourself. Don’t designate this work to your friends or relatives. They may err.
• Pay all the fees due, to the college office or the online banking services, whichever the office demands. The application form for examination would open for you in the online-portal of the Controller of Examinations, if only these conditions are met with. Keep all the fee-receipts handy.
• If you are in the first semester, tick mark () your Language Course (French/Hindi/Tamil/Sanskrit) in the Examination application form,available online in the college website. Take a print-out and keep it for future reference. Don’t forget.
• If you are in the other semesters, tick mark () the courses you are going to appear, including the arrear courses, if any, in the application form, available online from the college website. Pay the fees for the arrear courses.
• The Principal shall announce the date for the release of the Hall Tickets. Visit the college website, follow the instructions therein, and take a print- out of the hall-ticket. Verify your photograph and other details therein. Your access to this portal is limited to a specific period, beyond which it will be closed. And those who fail to download and bring the print-out of the hall ticket to the examination, along with the identity card, are not permitted to appear for the examination. The Principal uses his discretion in solving the discrepancy, based on the supporting documents you produce, related to the issue.

THE DAY OF THE EXAMINATION

• Start early from your house / hostel / room / accommodation.
• Pack your bag with the Hall ticket, writing materials and adorn yourself with the Identity Card. Don’t forget. Produce them when the invigilator demands. Entry into the hall without these two or either, forfeits your candidature.
• The examinations commence at 09.30 for the Forenoon Session and conclude at 12.30, afternoon. The commencement is at 2.00 for the afternoon session which concludes at 5.00 p.m. Enter the examination hall 10 minutes before the commencement of the examinations. Avoid arguments.
• Sit at the place designated to you, where your registration number is written.
• You are denied admission to examination, if you arrive late.
• You are to remain in the hall for the entire period of the examination.
• Take the signature of the invigilator on all your answer papers. Verify your register number in the attendance sheet. Put your signature, at the appropriate place.
• Malpractice in any form is an offence. If you are found guilty, law would take its course.
• Don’t walk along the corridors or loiter in the campus, during the examinations.
• Hand over your answer papers, securely fastened, to the Invigilator. Leave the hall only when directed to do so, by the invigilator.
• Scrupulously follow the instructions of the Principal, Chief Superintendent of the Examinations, Controller of Examinations and the Invigilator. Discipline is your ornament.
• If you follow these instructions, you are the topper!

Evaluation of Internal Assessment

The Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA), is based on the performance of the student in the Assignment, Tests, Seminars and Attendance, every semester. This score is coupled with the Semester Examinations, to decide the percentage of marks secured by the student. This can be converted into the grade points. The Course Teacher evaluates the performance. This evaluation is consolidated at the end of the course. The components for the CIA are:

Attendance percentage versus Continuous Internal Assessment Marks

The components for the Continuous Internal Assessment for U.G. and P.G., in the Practical Examinations

For the Courses which involve field work

For the Semester Practical Examinations
