+91 4144 238 248Professional programmes — engineering, pharmacy, law, management, nursing, education and agriculture — run on semesters and the credit system. The arts, commerce and science faculties retain the annual pattern, which suits students preparing alongside their degree for State and national competitive examinations.
Every course is assessed continuously. Internal assessment carries 30 per cent of the final mark: two tests worth 10 per cent each, and 10 per cent for assignments, laboratory records or field reports. The end-semester examination carries the remaining 70 per cent. A student must attend 75 per cent of scheduled classes to sit the examination, and may seek condonation from the Dean only on medical grounds.
