Student Evaluation
The institution adopts a system of multiple and concurrent evaluations, duly communicated through institutional mechanisms such as the College Calendar, which is distributed to all students and faculty at the beginning of each academic year.

The Examination Coordinator is responsible for conducting internal assessments and coordinating logistics for university examinations. Continuous evaluation of students is ensured through the following mechanism:

Modes of Student Evaluation

• 1. University Examinations
  All University examinations are conducted strictly in accordance with the rules, regulations, and guidelines issued by the affiliating University from time to time. Notifications received from the University are displayed on the notice board for students’ reference. In addition, detailed information regarding examination schedules, regulations, and evaluation procedures is provided to students during the orientation programme.

  2. Assignment-Based Evaluation
  For every subject, faculty members assign topics for written assignments, typically at the end of each chapter. Students are required to submit these assignments within the specified deadlines. Evaluation is based on both the quality of content and the punctuality of submission.

  3. Attendance-Based Evaluation
  While the University prescribes a minimum attendance of 75% to be eligible for examinations, the College motivates students to maintain higher attendance by awarding internal marks as an incentive.

  4. Classroom Discipline and Conduct
  To promote discipline and healthy competition, the College recognizes a Best Outgoing Student from each course. These awards are presented during the College Day celebrations, thereby encouraging responsible classroom behavior and active participation.

  5. Co-Curricular Participation
  The institution encourages students to actively participate in co-curricular activities, both within the College and in inter-collegiate events. Participation and achievements in such activities contribute to overall evaluation.

  6. Subject-Based Viva-Voce
  In all courses, viva-voce examinations form a mandatory component of internal assessment. A portion of the internal marks is allocated based on students’ performance in these oral examinations.

  7. Report Writing and Field Work
  In practice-oriented courses such as MSW, field work constitutes a major component of evaluation. Students are required to submit weekly field work reports to their faculty supervisors. The quality and consistency of these reports significantly influence their internal assessment marks.

  8. Seminar and Presentation Skills
  Seminar presentations are integral to most courses. Students prepare and present topics before their peers and faculty. Performance is assessed on clarity, content, and delivery, and marks are awarded accordingly.

  9. Interpersonal Skills and Value-Based Assessment

  Each year, the College identifies and honors the best outgoing student in every course, considering factors such as interpersonal relationships, discipline, and positive habits. Additionally, class representatives and student leaders are selected based on their demonstrated interpersonal skills and responsible conduct.

Evaluation Reforms

The institution has adopted several evaluation reforms introduced by the affiliating University and has also implemented certain reforms at its own level. The major reforms initiated by the University are as follows:

Reforms Initiated by the University

1. Revision of Syllabus
   The syllabus for all undergraduate and postgraduate programmes is revised periodically to ensure that it remains relevant to contemporary academic and professional requirements.

2. Enhanced Weightage for Internal Assessment
   In line with modern educational practices, greater emphasis has been placed on internal assessment by increasing its weightage in the overall evaluation.

3. Computerization of the Examination Process
   The University has fully computerized the examination and evaluation process. Marks cards are generated digitally and embossed with holograms to prevent tampering.

4. Barcoding of Answer Scripts
   A barcoding system has been introduced to conceal the identity of students, ensuring impartial evaluation of answer booklets.

5. Early Declaration of Results
   With the automation of examination and evaluation processes, results are now announced within a few weeks, in contrast to the several months required earlier.

6. Timely Conduct of Examinations
   Examination schedules are prepared and announced well in advance, usually at the beginning of the academic year, to facilitate systematic planning.

7. Provision for Revaluation and Recounting
   Students are given the opportunity to apply for revaluation or recounting of answer scripts by submitting an application along with the prescribed fee.

8. Credit-Based System for Undergraduate Programmes
   A credit-based evaluation system has been introduced for undergraduate programmes, aligning the structure with global academic standards.

9. Choice-Based Credit System for Postgraduate Programmes
   Recently, the University introduced a choice-based paper system in postgraduate courses, enabling students to select subjects from a list of electives across disciplines.

10. Measures Against Malpractice
    The University issues guidelines and instructions to affiliated colleges to adopt strict measures to prevent malpractice during examinations.

11. Computerization of the Admission Process
    An online admission approval system has been introduced by the University to simplify and streamline the admission process for colleges.

Institutional Reforms

The institution has introduced several reforms in its internal evaluation and examination practices to ensure transparency, fairness, and better student preparedness. The key reforms are:

Reforms in Internal Assessment

Internal marks are awarded based on a combination of components, including:

• Performance in internal written examinations conducted by the College.

• Assignments and seminar/presentation work submitted within the due dates.

• Bonus marks awarded for high attendance.
  

• This multi-component approach ensures a holistic evaluation of student performance.

 Model Preparatory Examinations

Towards the end of each semester, the College conducts comprehensive model preparatory examinations covering the entire syllabus. These exams provide students with:

• Practice in time management.

• Improved confidence.

• Better preparation for University examinations.

Institutional Measures to Prevent Malpractice

The College has adopted strict measures to maintain examination integrity:

• Pre-arranged seating with register numbers displayed on each seat.

• Sufficient spacing between students to minimize malpractice.

• Clear verbal instructions on rules and consequences of malpractice at the beginning of each exam.

• Continuous monitoring by staff working in shifts, supported by an internal squad making surprise inspections.
