students to make shift from being passive knowledge-seekers to active, conscientious
knowledge-creators. The University of Lucknow is currently putting a focus on creating
an interactive, multimedia-supported online learning environment and enhancing the
value of the established distance education model through MOOCs.

offered as part of the curriculum. With a focus on holistic education and
development, the programme aims to cultivate students' intellectual, personal,
interpersonal, and social skills. Graduates will be equipped with the knowledge
and abilities necessary to hold managerial and administrative positions like
managers, tax consultants and financial advisors/consultants in business

4. After successful payment, download the Fee Receipt.
Evaluation: The University will use an evaluation method that is distinct from that of
traditional universities having multi-tier system of evaluation
❖ Continuous evaluation mainly through assignments which will be tutor marked.
❖ Term end examinations.
The evaluation will be done in two parts: a term-ending exam and a continuing
evaluation through assignments. Course assignments would contribute 30% to the final
grade, whereas the term end examination is assigned 70% of the total weight (TEE).
The university will use a grading system for both term-end exams and ongoing
assessment. The following letter grades would be on a ten point scale: The University
has chosen to include numerical marking in the grade card and award of division as
shown in the table below:
Letter Grade Numerical Grade Percentage
O (Outstanding) 10 ≥85
A+(Excellent) 9 ≥75 to <85
A (Very Good) 8 ≥65 to <75
B+ (Good) 7 ≥55 to <65
B (Above Average) 6 ≥50 to <55
C (Average) 5 ≥40 to <50
D (Pass) 4 ≥35 to <40
F (Fail) 0 <35
Ab (Absent) 0 Absent
Students must receive a grade of ‘D’ or above in each course and a minimum of 35%
overall to be eligible for Graduation in commerce. For a course to be qualified, the
results of the term-end test and continuous evaluation are not additive (it is necessary
to obtain a minimum of 35% in both the evaluation criteria). The term-end examination
and a continuing evaluation through assignments may be retaken the next year by
students who did not pass the current one, subject to one attempt only. It means students
will be able to take the TEE and assignments for the first-year courses in their second
academic year only.
