Assessment

➢ Candidates in each semester shall be assessed by

● Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA)
● End Semester Examination (ESE).
➢ Mode Examination : Mode 'I'
➢ The ratio of Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) to End Semester Examination
(ESE) -> 3 : 2 (75:50)

➢ (The ESE for each course shall be conducted either as Mode 'B' or as Mode 'I' as included in the Programme scheme of the Curriculum.

●
Mode 'B' are examinations conducted by the CTE and
●
Mode 'I' are examinations conducted at the Institution level. )

6
Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA)

➢ The CIA consists of Formative and Summative Assessments.

➢ The CIA shall be done by appropriate Rubrics.
➢ The CIA shall be done based on the Cognitive levels of revised
Blooms Taxonomy suggested in the curriculum.

7
Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) - Practicals

➢ Summative Assessment
➢ Tools : Lab Examination
➢ Marks : 20% of the total internal mark
➢ Guidelines :
➢ Two summative assessments are mandatory.
➢ Attendence

➢ Marks : 20% of the total internal mark

➢ This is only for CIA. Marks for attendance will not be
considered for attainment
calculation of course outcome.
8
Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) - Practicals

➢ Formative Assessment
➢ Tools : Lab Work
➢ Marks : 50% of the total internal mark
➢ Guidelines :
➢ List
of lab experiments must be given which may include
some mandatory experiments.
➢ The faculty concerned may include additional experiments.
➢ Foreach experiment, assessment may be made and marks
should be awarded as per an assessment rubric.

9
Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) - Practicals

➢ Formative Assessment
➢ Tools : Open ended Experiments /Micro Projects
➢ Marks : 10% of the total internal mark
➢ Guidelines :
➢ Time for Open ended experiments /Micro project is included
in the lab hours.
➢ For first and second year students open ended experiments/
Micro project may be given as a group work and for final
year it may given as an individual work.
