 Message from the Dean

Management Education is an integrated and continuous process. It is delivered primarily

with two aims. Firstly, to inculcate the understanding of factors which influence the
conduct of organizations and secondly, to provide the students with tools and techniques
which they can use to influence organizational life.

Over the years, number of management schools has started offering courses in functional
as well as emerging areas of the management. At COLLEGE OF MANAGEMENT
STUDIES, IILM, AHL, we believe that the competitive advantage could be substantiated
through the value addition and uniqueness. We add value to our curriculum and enrich
the contents based on research inputs. The knowledge generated through research is
transferred to the class rooms as a continuous process. It helps our students in developing
the skills which they can put in practice. It also helps them in meeting the challenges
thrown by future events. Our emphasis on value addition makes the program unique and
successful.

We welcome you at CMS, IILM, AHL and invite you to share the experience of value
added learning

The examination for PGDM at the Institute is a combination of continuous internal

assessment and formal end term examinations. To qualify in a paper, taking the end
term examination is a mandatory requirement except when it is a 100% coursework
paper.

4.1 Continuous Internal Assessment

Depending on the nature of subject, the assessment criteria varies. For certain subjects,
there will be no end-term examination, only continuous internal assessment will be held.
Generally, internal evaluation is of 40% and that of end-term examination is 60%.

Continuous assessment of internal evaluation will have a number of components like

• Mid Term (20 marks) (to be conducted after 6 weeks from the start of the term).
• Case studies
• Project work, Presentations and viva
• Quiz etc.

The internal assessment marks awarded are notified by the concerned faculty. Students
who fail to meet the deadlines for submission of projects or assignments or who absent
themselves at internal assessment sessions are not entitled to any credits assigned for
the same. In their own interests, students are advised to follow the guidelines and
schedule for submission of project reports, etc. In special cases if the delay is on
account of any eventualities / placement activities, then the student must get a written
permission from the concerned authority (Dean/Chairman-Placements), on the basis of
which s/he must request the faculty to award the marks. All the resolutions regarding the
award of marks lie with the concerned faculty and the examination department will only
account the marks submitted by the concerned faculty.

4.2 End-Term Examination

The two year Program comprises six end term examinations which are scheduled as
shown in the academic calendar.

4.3 Attendance

Students are required to have a minimum of 75% attendance in each course during the
term. For any sanctioned leave from Dean/ Associate Dean, attendance would be
calculated excluding leave period. Students with less than 75% attendance in any
individual course will not be allowed to sit in that particular examination. For this they will
be given J Grade (as per the grading system mentioned below) and they will be allowed
to appear in their respective papers in the end term examinations of the subsequent
batch only. The fees for examination in debarred papers will be Rs. 500/= per paper.
4.4 Fees

No student will be allowed to sit in the end-term examination with dues in his/her
account. A student therefore must abide by the deadlines mentioned in the handbook for
the payment of their fee installments in time.

4.5 Admit Cards

Every student must legibly fill the Performa provided by the examination department,
mentioning the papers s/he is appearing in the end-term examination 15 days before the
start of the end-term exam. The examination department will issue admit cards after
taking clearance from the Accounts Department only to those students who have paid
their fees and have no dues in their account.

No student will be allowed to sit in the end-term examination without an admit card.

Carrying of mobile phones/electronic gadgets is prohibited in the Examination

Hall. No student is allowed to enter the examination hall after 10 minutes of the

A Committee will be constituted by Dean to decide upon cases of unfair means. Any
student found using unfair means during internal or end term examination may be asked
to repeat the examination or may be asked to repeat the examination in all the courses
of the said term. The decision of the committee will be final and binding on all. Unfair
means include any activity on the part of student before, during or after the examination
to influence the result in any way. This may include copying from other students, from
prohibited papers, electronic gadgets etc., non-adherence to the instructions of the
invigilators, plagiarizing in projects and assignments, indulging in any unruly activity
inside examination hall, canvassing with the faculty and other staff.
4.7 Grading System

College of Management Studies – IILM –AHL follows a letter grading system for
evaluation of academic achievement of the students. The grading system followed is
given below:

GRADES GRADE POINT REMARKS

A+ 8 Excellent
A 7

B+ 6 Good
B 5

C+ 4 Average
C 3

D+ 2 Poor
D 1

F 0 Fail

J Nil Not approved/ debarred/ Result awaited/withheld

4.8 Calculation of Grade Point Average (GPA)

On the basis of the relative grading assigned by the faculty for each paper, the grade
point average is arrived as follows:

a) Multiply the credits by the points assigned to the grade concerned

b) Add the points arrived at for all the papers of the term
c) Divide the points by the total number of credits

Example: ABC Term 1

Subject Credits Grade Points

Marketing Management 3 A 7
Quantitative Techniques for Business 3 C+ 4
Financial Accounting and Analysis 3 C 3
Organization Behavior 3 B+ 6
Business Communication 3 B+ 6
Managerial Economics 3 C+ 4
I T Application in Business 3 C 3

Calculation:

3x7=21, 3x4=12, 3x3=9, 3x6=18, 3x6=18, 3x4=12, 3x3=9 = Total 99

Total credits 21 Grade Point Average- 99 divided by 21 = 4.71
4.9 Calculation of Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

The total grade points of different terms divided by the total number of credits indicates
the Cumulative Grade Point Average

Example Total grade points Total Number of Credits

Term1 99 21
Term2 102 24

CGPA after Term 2: 99+102= 201 divided by 45 = 4.47

4.10 Promotion from first year to second year

Every student is required to obtain a CGPA of 4.00 points (on 8.00 point scale) at the
