PGDM program curriculum emphasizes the following two principles: (i) Faculty must
prepare their course outlines with components of evaluation based on the criteria described
in the table below and, (ii) individual components of evaluation should form minimum 60%
weightage in a course and group components could form a maximum of 40% weightage in a
course.
Table 1. Evaluation Matrix
EVALUATION Percentage
EVALUATION COMPONENTS
TYPE Range
Mid Term Examination 20 %
INDIVIDUAL End Term Examination 35%
Quiz 30%
GROUP Case Analysis/Presentation 15%
Total 100%
Quizzes, mid-term and end-term exams are typically individual components of examination
and tests knowledge, application of concepts learnt and problem solving. In addition to
quizzes, mid-term and end-term exams, additional assessment tools used include case
analysis, assignments, course projects, simulation and role plays.

Please note: Group component cannot be more than 40% of the course evaluation. Please note
that evaluation components will not undergo change during/after the course. If the faculty has
decided to follow a distribution as above, they are required to stick to the planned decision.
Please note: Every assessment component should be mapped to at least one CO. Faculty members
should assess at least two of the five program outcomes and assess at least one CO for a PO. It is
recommended to map a maximum of only two COs to an assessment component. Evaluation
components in an exam or any other assessment method should contain questions or any other
assessment tool to evaluate the chosen CO(s). List of COs are provided at the end of the document.

Regularity in Attendance
Student attendance will be a component while grading them for the course. Faculty / JF
have been advised to report about habitual absentees (habitual absentee is defined as students
absent in the class for more than three classes consecutively).
Unauthorized absence from class will be considered a breach of discipline and the Institute will
be free to take appropriate action in such cases. The same student will be asked to face disciplinary
committee. Students will not be given any attendance for any committee related activities which
warrants them to drop from the class. They are required to undertake all committee related work
beyond class hours. However, in exceptional cases, their absence could be condoned by the
Program Office on a case to case basis.
Under extra-ordinary circumstances, students may obtain leave of absence under the following
rules and procedures:
For grounds other than sickness, leave will be allowed to students in exceptional cases
depending on the genuineness of the case by the PGDM Director. However no
compensatory attendance and examination will be held for the period of leave.
Students will be awarded grades on the basis of their attendance level and
performance only in the classes from which they were present. Before applying for
leave to the Director PGDM a student should contact his/her course instructors to
ensure that he/she is not missing any quizzes or examinations during the leave
period.
The PGDM Office or the faculty concerned will not be responsible for the student
losing any segment of evaluation on account of his/her leave. No compensatory
opportunity will be given for quizzes and other class room based components on
account of leave of any kind.
Each student is expected to attend a minimum of 80% of classes in each course. The grade penalty
will be imposed on all the students who do not meet the minimum 80% attendance requirements
in each course in the following manner:
If a student gets D grade in a particular course and also gets a grade drop due to attendance
shortage, 'D' will become an 'F' grade.
If a student fails to meet the specified attendance requirement, his/her grade in the respective
course(s) would be lowered by the Director PGDM in accordance with the grade penalty rules
laid down above.
Students are expected to remain in the classroom (online sessions), be mentally alert, and
participate in the class proceedings for the duration. If a student must leave early for
unavoidable reasons, that student should obtain permission from the professor before
the class begins. Leaving and re-entering the class (online session) in the middle is not
permitted, except under extraordinary circumstances. Faculty members may cross check
the attendance record and if a student is found absent (merely logged in over zoom but
not present in the session) in the class, the student will be marked absent besides the case
will be sent to discipline committee and actions will be taken by the committee.
Norms of Behavior
Students should demonstrate respect for Faculty and fellow students. Respectful
behavior contributes to the enhanced learning experience. Students should refrain from
disruptive behavior such as eating, and holding side-conversations. Using laptops during
is allowed only on the instruction of the professor. If necessary, the students are expected
to seek redress for grievances at a proper forum instead of seeking an immediate solution.
Students are expected to help maintain chairs, display screen, desktop computers, LCDs,
tables, window curtains and electrical fittings in good usable condition and not damage
them or render them useless. Students are expected not to destroy the classroom
ambience. The cost of damage, loss or theft on account of students will be recovered from
them. When this cannot be attributed to one student, the cost will be recovered from an
identifiable group of which the individual is a part or from the entire batch. Students are
expected to use cans to dispose of trash. They are also encouraged to remove defacing or
unclean material voluntarily.
Essentially, students should always use proper reporting and escalating mechanisms for
concerns and issues. Under no circumstances should students take matters into their own
hands. Students are expected to use only the students’ dining hall for dining. Classrooms
or any of the other administrative or academic areas shall not be used for dining.
Great Lakes has adopted the principle of preserving the environment. Therefore, it tries
to inculcate in the minds of its students and staff, a sense of being one with nature causing
no harm anytime, anywhere, and under any circumstances which will result in damage
to the environment.
Smoking, chewing tobacco and drinking alcohol in and around the premises is strictly
prohibited. Severe penalties will accrue to those students caught violating this.
Use of laptops in the class is strictly prohibited during class hours, unless specifically
authorized by the Faculty or the Academic Administration.
Use of Mobile devices during online or offline sessions are permitted purely for the
purpose of QR Code attendance capture and not for other purposes. Students are not to
use mobile devices for login to zoom sessions and it is preferable to attend online session
only through Web portal of CAMU. Use of any other electronic devices inside the
classroom / online session is not allowed under normal settings.
