Course credits & Evaluation
The Institutes evaluation system emphasizes continuous assessment of a student against the required standards of academic achievement. Hence apart from the terminal examinations, the students performance is evaluated on the basis of class participation and preparation, periodic assignments, project, surprise quizzes and mid-term tests. Each credit corresponds to 10 contact hours. A student is expected to put in at least 100 hours of work in a three-credit (3) course which includes 30 contact hours in class. In the case of a one-and-a-half-credit (1.5) course, the time devoted should be 50 hours including 15 contact hours.
Course is evaluated and graded on a nine-point scale taking into consideration the student’s performance in different segments of evaluation mentioned above. The grades and their corresponding quality points are given below:
Rating | Fail | Poor | Average | Good | Excellent | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Grade | F | D | D+ | C | C+ | B | B+ | A | A+ |
Quality Points | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
