CIA
General Parameters
- Each paper is out of 100 marks, split as follows: CIA = 20; ESE = 80.
- CIA stands for Continuous Internal Assessment. ESE stands for End Semester Exam.
- If the paper has practical component, then ESE is split as
- Theory = 60 + Practical = 20
- Theory = 50 + Practical = 30
- Theory = 40 + Practical = 40
- Theory = 0 + Practical = 80
- And aggregate pass percentage for each course is 40% (marks obtained from CIA + Practical + theory i.e., 40 out of 100)
- The minimum required aggregate of CIA and ESE is 40%
- CIA is formed of three components: Attendance = 5 marks + Average of Best of Two in internal assessment (Sessional Test 1; Sessional Test 2; Third Component) = 15 marks
- One must obtain at least 40% marks in each course as aggregate; one must obtain 35% in ESE- Theory, and 40% in ESE-Practical.
- Exam duration: ESE Theory = 3 hours for 80 and 60 marks; 2 hours for 50 and 40 marks.
- Exam duration: Practical = 4 hours for 80 and 60 marks; 3 hours for 50 and 40 marks.
- There is no scope for revaluation. There is only rechecking or retotaling.
Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA)
Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) consists of 2 tests and a third component which may include assignment / quiz / seminar / project work, etc. CIA requires a student taking all the tests / assessment units / components administered for a course by the course teacher. CIA is carried out by the course teachers for each course of study during the semester in progress. Each of the assessment units carry equal marks (i.e., 20 marks each). The duration of the written test will be for 1 hour and the pattern of question paper will be as given in the syllabus for each course of study.
There is no provision for improvement of Continuous Internal Assessment marks.
CIA of 20 marks will comprise the following components:
- Sessional Test 1 (20 marks)
- Sessional Test 2 (20 marks)
- A third component (handwritten assignment / quiz / seminar / assignment / project work, etc.) (20 marks)
- The average of the best two of the above three components will be scaled down to 15 marks.
- Attendance: 5 marks shall be awarded for attendance based on the actual attendance of a student, using the following parameters:
90-100% = 5 Marks
85-89% = 4 Marks
80-84% = 3 Marks
75-79% = 2 Marks
74% and below = No marks or loss of 5 marks
Important
All students are required to verify the Continuous Internal Assessment Mark statement before issue of Admit Card / hall ticket for the End Semester Examination.
Requests for correction of CIA marks WILL NOT BE ENTERTAINED after the verification period of the Continuous Internal Assessment Marks has lapsed.
Re-test during the semester in progress:
There is no provision for re-test (CIA) except
(i) in case of a medical emergency, which will be examined on a case-to-case basis and a decision made accordingly by the Principal based on existing rules
(ii) for those students who have missed a test due to participation in college sponsored/ endorsed activities, with the permission of the Principal and with consent from the Head of Department and Course teacher prior to participating in the activity.
The re-test will be administered by the course teacher and held before the commencement of the End Semester Examination. Students must apply for re-test by filling in the prescribed form.
