These programmes are generally held two hours a day on three days of the week either in

Proficiency Programme comprises approximately 180 teaching hours spread over two

*The timings for a particular programme may change depending on the availability of
faculty and will be intimated at the time of admission.

I. General Rules for all the part-time Programmes:

Students are required to attend all lectures, tutorials, language laboratory sessions, and
other activities as required by them.

requirements such as class tests/continuous assessment tests/sessional tests, assignments
as prescribed by the School(s)/Department(s) concerned.
Students who do not fulfil the attendance requirement will not be eligible to appear for
the semester-end/final examination.

 4. Evaluation Scheme

foreign languages. For evaluating a student’s performance in a given course, the
following grading scale will be used.

O A+ A B+ B C D F

Letter Grade point Marks Equivalence Quality Description

Grade equivalent (out of 100)
O 8 75-100 Outstanding
A+ 7 70-74 Excellent
A 6 60-69 Very Good
B+ 5 55-59 Good
B 4 50-54 Fair
C 3 45-49 Satisfactory
D 2 40-44 Pass
F 0 Below 40 Fail

Note: An OGPA of 5.5 or B+ is equal to 55% marks

Evaluation of students’ performance on a part-time programme shall be done on the basis of

(i) Continuous assessment and
(ii) Semester-end examinations

The ratio of continuous assessment to semester-end examinations shall be 40:60.

Continuous assessment may comprise class tests, assignments, presentations. There shall

the three components.
