I. GUIDELINES

 Cell Phones and other Electronic Communication Devices: Cell phones and other
electronic communication devices (such as Blackberries/Laptops) are not permitted in
classes during Tests or the Mid/Final Examination. Such devices MUST be turned off in
the class room.

 E-Mail and online learning tool: Each student in the class should have an e-mail id and
a password to access the Blackboard regularly. Regularly, important information – Date
of conducting class tests, guest lectures, via online learning tool. The best way to
arrange meetings with us or ask specific questions is by email and prior appointment.
All the assignments preferably should be uploaded on online learning tool. Various
research papers/reference material will be mailed/uploaded on online learning
platform time to time.

 Attendance: Students are required to have minimum attendance of 75% in each

subject. Students with less than said percentage shall NOT be allowed to appear in the
end semester examination unless a medical emergency is there. Even in case of medical
emergencies a student shall maintain a minimum of 60% attendance, else he/she shall
be debarred.

 Course outcome assessment: To assess the fulfilment of course outcomes two

different approaches have been decided. Degree of fulfillment of course outcomes will
be assessed in different ways through direct assessment and indirect assessment. In
Direct Assessment, it is measured through tests, assignment, Mid-term and/or End-
term examinations. It is suggested that each examination is designed in such a way that
it can address one or two outcomes (depending upon the course completion). Indirect
assessment is done through the student survey which needs to be designed by the
faculty (sample format is given below) and it shall be conducted towards the end of
course completion. The evaluation of the achievement of the Course Outcomes shall be
done by analyzing the inputs received through Direct and Indirect Assessments and
then corrective actions suggested for further improvement.

 Passing criterion: Student has to secure minimum 35 marks in End Exam and 35%
marks Total Marks in order to pass in that paper.
