Examination and Evaluation
Semester system of examination is being followed under Single Major System according to the guidelines of Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education(APSCHE) and Adikavi Nannaya University(AKNU), Rajamahendravaram.
Allotment of Marks:
Two consecutive (one odd + one even) semesters constitute one academic year in the four year degree honours course. External theory and practical (if applicable) examinations will be held at the end of every semester. There will be internal assessment for all courses except for foundation courses and practical examinations.
The internal (40 Marks) and external (60 Marks) assessment marks are divided in the ratio 40:60. The internal assessment will be carried out by way of conducting two Mid-semester theory examinations for 30 marks each (1hr duration) and average of these two examinations will be taken as internal assessment marks out of 30. The remaining 10 marks will be awarded for student co-cirrcular and Extra-Cirrcular activities and whether assignments or ECC. With respect to some papers the total marks for each paper are 50 exclusively ment for External assessment, No marks for Internal assessment. The student must possess a minimum of 75% of attendance in each course in every semester to be eligible to appear for the semester-end examination. The time duration of examination for foundation courses is 2hrs whereas for practical examinations and other theory examinations, it is 3hrs.
