College Exams

As mentioned above this exams are conducted by your college in your college itself. Key realization is that all papers will be set by your regular instructor but syllabus would be as prescribed by university.

Since it is subjective exams this approach is convenient because students can dedicate more time to the practical project work.

  • Practicals and Internals
  • In internal examination you have to do your assignment work, tutorials, case studies and practicals. The subjects which have lab sessions will have practical examination in lab which usually comprises of programming tasks or equivalent.

  • Theory Exams
  • In theory your college would conduct written examination which contains subjective question answers.

    The grade distribution for Practicals and for Theory exams can be found in syllabus section of first and second year.

University Exam

In the last year of graduation university conducts examination.

  • Internal Assessment
  • Practicals and Internals would be conducted in your same college but only difference is that some university appointed external would be there for grade evaluation. But on many occasions university fails to appoint external, in that event your college faculties evaluate your grades.

  • External Assessment
  • In theory examination (external assessment) university sets paper and decides centers where you have to give your written test. The paper remain same for all students irrespective of their college. Paper evaluation is done by university appointed grader.
