Academics » Examinations

The College has a Semester System which operates as follows :

The College follows a 15-week Semester System. An almanac for the entire year is prepared at the commencement of I, III and V semesters. Every month respective departments submit attendance to the Academic Coordinator. The Academic Coordinator computes this data and displays it by the 10th of every month. The respective departments also display the same. Any anomaly has to be corrected during that month. The students are cautioned about the shortage of attendance. The College Administration will not entertain any dispute at the end of the semester about discrepancy in attendance of previous months.
At the end of the each semester, the cumulative percentage of attendance is calculated and the student is issued a hall-ticket for the ensuing examination only if he/she has the stipulated percentage of attendance -- 75%.

In case a student fails to obtain 75% attendance, waiver to an extent of 10% on MEDICAL GROUNDS is permitted based on the submission of a medical certificate issued by a competent authority. Candidates who fail to obtain the required percentage of attendance will be detained and will not be promoted to the next semester.

Notes:

• 75% attendance both in theory and practical courses (wherever applicable) is mandatory for candidates to be eligible to appear for the semester examination. All students who represent the College in Inter-collegiate, Inter-varsity, National and International competitions are eligible for attendance exemption of 8 weeks per year; that is, 4 weeks per semester or the period of the competition, whichever is less.
  


• Examinations for I, III and V semesters are held in November each year after 15 weeks of instruction. There are no detentions at the end of I, III and V semesters.
  


• Examinations for II, IV & VI semesters are held in March-April each year after 15 weeks of instruction.
  There is detention system at the end of II and IV semesters.
  


• (a) At the end of II semester, candidates who do not have more than 50% backlog papers of the I and II semesters together will be promoted to III semester.
  
  (b) At the end of IV semester candidates who do not have more than 25% backlog papers in all, from I to IV semesters together, will be promoted to V Semester.
  
  (c) During the regular exams of I, III and V semesters, backlogs of these semesters as well as the VI semester will be conducted. At this time there is will be no backlog exams for the II and IV semesters. During the regular II, IV and VI semester exams, all backlogs-that is, I to IV semester will be conducted.
  


• A candidate's promotion to subsequent semesters is subject to regular attendance (75%), payment of fee (including exam fee), and good conduct.
  


• Any student failing to clear dues such as College fees, hostel dues, special fees, self-financing fees, etc., shall not be eligible for promotion. Even if a student is eligible for any kind of scholarship, he/she has to clear all the above dues by the time he/she appears for the examination of that academic year.
  


• Every student is required to complete his/her course of study within 6 years from the date of admission, after which he/she will not be permitted to appear for any more examinations. The date of admission of a student admitted on transfer from other institutions will be notionally treated on par with his/her batch mates.
  


• Award of division: For the award of division in Part-I / Part-II, it will be necessary for a student to pass all the papers by the end of IV / VI semesters. The awards are as follows:
  
        First Division:             60% and above
        Second Division:       Below 60% but not less than 48%
        Third Division :           Below 48% but not less than 36%
  


• Improvement and Backlogs:
  (a) A student who wishes to improve his/her result is entitled to repeat the examination in any paper provided he / she has cleared all the papers relating to the relevant semester.  No student with a backlog is permitted to appear for improvement examination for the relevant semester.  Improvement is permitted only in the next corresponding semester examination except in the case of VI semester backlog which can be cleared in November of the same year instead of waiting till April of the next year.
  
  (b) Whenever there is a change in syllabus/model paper, the student will be given only one chance in the next corresponding semester examination to clear the backlog of that paper under the old syllabus/model paper.  Candidates are required to prepare for the examination with new syllabus/model paper subsequently.
  


• Medium of Examinations: Students admitted to a particular medium of instruction have to appear for the examinations in the same medium. If for any reason they write the examination in another medium, their scripts will not be evaluated.
  


• Without 75% of attendance in lectures and practicals students will not be entitled to:
  
              (a) Appear for the examination
              (b) Claim any scholarship.
              (c) Be promoted to the next semester.
  


• Students who discontinue their study at this College but wish to seek admission again to I Semester with/without a change of faculty or combination, need to apply again and will be considered for admission only according to merit (based on their Intermediate marks) along with other fresh applicants.
