STANDARD OF PASSING
STANDARD OF PASSING:
- The Semester End Examination will be conducted for 60 marks
- Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) will be conducted for 40 marks.
- Thus for each paper the examination will be for 100 marks for the semester.
- The passing in the paper will require 40 marks out of 100 marks, in which minimum 24 marks out of 60 marks in the semester end examination are a must. Thus passing in CCE is not compulsory but will be complementary for passing in the paper of said semester.
- A student is declared “pass” if he or she obtains a minimum of 40% marks in Semester End Examination and in internal examination. In case of the shortfall of marks in internal examination , a student will have to make over the shortage of marks in the Semester End Examination. It means it is necessary that a student gets minimum 40 marks out of 100 marks (40 marks of internal examination +60 marks of Semester End examination). For the Semester End examination separate or independent passing is a must it means that student has to get 24 marks out of 60 marks. It also means, there is no separate passing in Internal Examination but there is separate passing for Semester End Examination and for the final result of a paper a student must have to obtain 40% marks out of total 100 marks for the said paper.
- Backlog Internal Examination will be conducted for the students whose Aggregate percentage is less than 40% in particular paper but pass in Semester end examination.
