The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End
Exam (SEE) is 50%. The minimum passing mark for the CIE is 40% of the maximum
marks (20 marks). A student shall be deemed to have satisfied the academic
requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/ course if the student
secures not less than 35% (18 Marks out of 50) in the semester-end examination
(SEE), and a minimum of 40% (40 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE
(Continuous Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End Examination) taken
together.
 Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE):
Three Tests are to be conducted for 40 marks each. Average Marks scored is added
to test component.
CIE is executed by way of two quizzes / Alternate Assessment Tools (AATs).
Two quizzes are to be conducted and each quiz is evaluated for 5 marks adding up to
10 marks or ATT can be given and is evaluated for 10 marks1 .
Quizzes can be conducted online. Faculty may adopt innovative methods for
conducting quizzes effectively.
Some possible AATs: seminar/ assignments/term paper/ open ended experiments/
mini-projects/ concept videos/ partial reproduction of research work/ oral presentation
of research work/ group activity/ developing a generic toolbox for problem solving/
report based on participation in create-a-thon/ make-a-thon/ code-a-thon/ hack-a-thon
conducted by reputed organizations/ any other.

Typical Evaluation pattern for regular courses is shown in Table 2.
