Classroom Attendance – Each student will have to attend a minimum of 75% Lectures / Tutorials / Practical’s. A student having less than 75% attendance will not be allowed to appear in the End-Semester Examination (ESE).The incentive for the classroom attendance (for those participating in Co-curricular activities, 25% will be added to per cent attendance) will be awarded CCA marks as follows (out of 5): - 

• 75% to79%             = 1mark

• 80% to 84%            =2 marks  

•  85% to 89%           =3 marks

•  90% to 94%           =4 marks  

• 95% and above      = 5 marks  

Class Test- 5 marks for class test to be taken on completion of 40% syllabus by the class teacher.
Mid-Term (Minor) Test–10 marks for house test to be taken on completion of 75% of syllabus.
Seminar/Assignment/Tutorials and General Behavior of student-10 marks for assignments, seminar, tutorials and general behavior of student.

 (ii) Annual Examination

Only those students will be allowed to appear in the annual examination who has been successful in the CCA.
