Common Instructions and Guideline for all semesters and subjects
1 Question Paper Pattern
(i) Where the End Term Examination is of Maximum 60 Marks
Section A: MCQ/Fill in blanks/Short answer questions (up to 25 words) 5 x2 marks = 10
marks. All five questions are compulsory.
Section B: Analytical/Problem Solving questions (up to 100 words) 4 x 5 marks = 20
marks. Candidate has to answer four questions out of five.
Section C: Descriptive/ Analytical/Problem solving question 2 x 15 marks = 30 marks.
Candidates have to answer two questions out of three.
(ii) Where the End Term Examination is of Maximum 30 Marks
Section A: MCQ/Fill in blanks/Short answer questions (up to 25 words) 5 x1 marks = 5
marks. All five questions are compulsory.
Section B: Analytical/Problem Solving questions (up to 100 words) 4 x 2.5 marks = 10

2. Continuous Assessment: All courses undertaken by students are evaluated during the
semester using internal system of continuous assessment. The students are evaluated on
class /tutorial participation, assignment work, lab work, class tests, mid-term tests, quizzes
and end semester examinations, which contribute to the final grade awarded for the subject.
Students will be notified at the commencement of each courses about the evaluation
methods being used for the courses and weightages given to the different assignments and
evaluated activities. Here marks obtained in the internal assessment and end semester
examination are added together and a 10-point grading system will be used to award the
student with on overall letter grade for the course (subject).

(ii)Courses with -Practical Components only
Total : 100
9 Absent Fail Ab 0
1. A student has to obtain minimum ‘D’ grade in theory & -Practical to pass in a
course/subject and to earn credit for that subject.
2. For award the Grade in a course/subject, marks obtained in Internal Assessment and
External Assessment are added together provided the student has obtained a minimum of
40% marks in Internal Assessment as well as External Assessment separately and
Combined Grade is awarded in the course/subject as per grading system given above. In
case a student fails to secure a minimum of 40% marks in Internal Assessment or
External Assessment or in both Internal Assessment and External Assessment, the
Combined Grade awarded is Grade F (Fail).

3. Student has to reappear in the external examination or internal examination or both of
theory & -Practical, if he/she has been awarded ‘F’ grade or Absent (Ab) in any
course/subject.
4. For non credit course only Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory shall be indicated instead of
letter grade and this will not be counted for computation of SGPA or CGPA.
5. Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA)
SGPA for a semester is calculated as under, after the student has passed in all the
courses/subjects of a semester.

BHMT-721: Internship
Credit: 12 Max. Marks: 600 (Internal: 300, External: 300)
The internship time period provides the students the opportunity to continue to develop
confidence and increased skill in diagnosis and management. Students will demonstrate
competence in beginning, intermediate, and advanced procedures in above areas. Students will
participate in advanced and specialized treatment procedures. The student will complete the
clinical training by practicing all the skills learned in classroom and clinical instruction. The
students are expected to work for minimum 6 hours per day and this may be more depending on
the need and the healthcare setting.
Students shall be deputed to various labs of Pathology department wherein they shall undergo -
Practical training of handling patients, collection and processing of blood, urine, sputum stool
and body fluids samples. Identification of patient’s particulars based on CR number, Lab
Number and transfer of samples from collection centres to different labs. Process of performing
various tests in different labs.
