[Clarification- In case student is having above or equal to 75% in some subjects and less

than 75% in some subjects, he/she will be debarred only from those subjects where

attendance is less than 75%.]

d) There is no provision to consider approved leaves in calculating attendance percentage. Attendance percentage will not increase due to any kind of approved/unapproved leaves. Prior information is totally a personal issue between the student and the authority to whom he/she is informing. In case some student is informing to some authority verbal or in writing about his/her absence that will be considered as ABSENT with prior information. In no circumstances it may be considered as PRESENT.


e) Relaxations: Students in some cases may be given relaxation upto 15% in attendance requirement (by the Director) in the circumstances that were beyond the control of the Students e.g. Medical problems, Natural Disasters at home town of national etc.

f) Balance of 25% of attendance is left to the use of students unforeseen requirements, attending ceremonies at home/

g) Calculation of Attendance Duration:

1) To be eligible for First Internal Exam: From First day of Teaching of starting of the semester to last teaching days before the date of First paper of First Internal Exam.

2) To be eligible for Second Internal Exam: Attendance from first day of teaching after the First Sessional exams to last teaching days before the First paper of Second Internal Exam.

3) To be eligible for University Exam and awarding marks of attendance component: From First day of Teaching of starting of the semester to last teaching day.

[Clarification- Make up classes for Short attendance students]

For those students who are not able to maintain 75% till last teaching day, Extra make up classes

will be arranged during preparation leaves etc so that students able to achieve 75% attendance

to fulfill the university attendance criterion.

Students who will not be able to obtain 75% attendance even after make up classes will be debarred from

the university exam. Students are advised to maintain their 75% attendance till last teaching day so that

preparation leaves/holidays may be used by them for self preparation.

Clause (3) Policy regarding missing classes due to preparation of technical festivals,

sports week, cultural festivals etc

Student who are helping the institute in preparing the above activities may be granted permission to

miss the classes maximum up to 6 teaching days in a semester subject to following conditions:

1) Their names are approved in advance by the competent authority.

Clause (4): Continuous Assessment Marks: (Based on Assignments)


a) Continuous Assessment refers to the assessment of the student based on class test & the assignments submitted by him/her through out the semester.

b) Total 5 Tests Based Assignments (i.e. one TBA per 5th portion of the syllabus) to be given to the

students in a semester. Every Assignment will be of 4 marks and thus total 4 * 5 = 20% Marks out of

100 will be for such class test/assignments.

c) Following are the guidelines for assignments, their evaluation and their secured accumulation

1. Assignment means a set of work, tasks and/or numerical problems to be given to the student, based on topics recently covered in the class as homework to be solved and submitted, before a specified date. Each assignment should require 4 – 6 hours of written work to be done by the student. The Date of Submission (DOS) will be announced on the Date of Allotment (DOA) to the student.

2. The assignment is to be submitted on or before the DOS as announced to faculty.No late submissions should be accepted.

3. TBA: The evaluation of an assignment will be done by faulty through a (TBA) test based on the assignment. The following process must be adopted for the purpose:

(a) On DOS, students will submit the assignment; faculty will randomly decide one question without telling to the students. He/She will check only that question in all assignments and will identify the students that have copied the assignments.

(b) Faculty member will clearly mention on assignment “COPIED” or “NOT COPIED”.

(c) On the DOT a test is to be conducted by the faculty member for all that have “NOT COPIED” as below:

(d) Prepare a test paper with at least three questions based on the assignment, with similar but not the same problems.

(e) Collect the TBA Sheets from HOD having following format.

(f) Write three questions on board, and allot any one question to the student, ensure that two consecutive student should not get similar question.

JBIT, Dehradun: TBA: Test Based Assignment No…….

Faculty………………………. Department……………….. School……………….

Subject Code……………….. Subject Name……………. TBA No……………..

DOA…………………………. DOS………………………. DOT…………………

Note: - Attempt only one question that is ticked in your sheet:

Question No (1)

Question No (2)

Question No (3)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The test has to be administered in the last 15 or 20 minutes of the class. Give student just sufficient

time to solve the problem assuming that they have done the assignment at home.

4. The evaluated assignments/tests are to be shown to the student and are to be retained by the instructor. All tests/assignments should be retained till the final Internal Marks are displayed to the students. These may be discarded afterwards. This is to permit randomly checking by designated authority at any instance.

5. This procedure is to be announced and explained to the students in the very first class. The importance of TIMELY SUBMISSION of assignments and NOT COPYING should be explained.

6. Copying of the assignment is an example of academic dishonesty for which student must be awarded

ZERO and should not be allowed to appear in TBA.

Clause (5): Proposed Master Pedagogy for Assignments: Assignments must be given to the

students and evaluated as per following pedagogy:-

TBA DOA DOS DOT

1 First Teaching day of the

second week of actual

teaching in that class.

First Teaching day of the

third week of actual


Last Teaching day of the

third week of actual



fourth week of actual



fifth week of actual



fifth week of actual



sixth week of actual



seventh week of actual



seventh week of actual



eight week of actual



ninth week of actual









tenth week of actual



tenth week of actual


DOA – Date of allotment of the assignment to students is to be decided by the faculty member within specified week. Date of Allotment of the Assignment means when one hard copy of the assignment has been given to the CR and receiving has been taken from the CR.

DOS – Date of Submission means the date on which assignment must be submitted by the student to the Faculty members.

DOT- Date of Test means the date on which faculty member is supposed to take the Test Based on the Assignment.

(50*60%)=30 marks will be for internal Theory(divided as 15+15 for two internal test).

b) All internal exams will be third party test that means HOD has right to change the question

paper at any stage:-

[Clarification] In case some student is absent on the day of assessment, he/she must be awarded

ZERO for that practical. Moreover faculty is not bound to inform about the date of assessment in

practical lab. Students must attend all labs as assessment will be in almost in all labs. No makeup

can be arranged for lab assessments irrespective of the reasons/excuses.

(c) Following are the guidelines for the conduct and evaluation of practical in all courses with laboratory

components:

1. A practical is where a student is taken to a laboratory and is asked to perform a set of task on the given computer, equipment or on a setup comprising of devices or components. This includes on-the-spot conduct of an activity to derive desired results and to report the findings.

2. A student will have to maintain record of the performance done in the lab in the lab notebook as prescribed by the Institute/Department.

3. The lab notebook should be maintained in the format of a lab journal, where (in general) the aim of the experiment, the observations, calculations, results ad discussions are reported. These should not have any description like „method‟ etc, unless the method itself is the aim of the experiment.

4. Error analysis forms an essential part of the lab journal.

5. A student will be evaluated on every experiment/lab performed. The components of practical assessment as prescribed above are to be pre-defined, notified to the student and are to be strictly adhered to.

6. This policy is to be duly announced and explained to the students in the very first lab where the importance of timely submission of lab reports must be emphasized. The students are also to be informed about secure retention of Lab Records till last etc.

7. However no marks will be awarded in practical based on attendance, yet student is required to maintain at least 75% attendance in each practical lab to be eligible for external assessment of the practical. Moreover student must understand that assessment in going in each lab, absence means award of ZERO for the lab assessment on that day.

Clause (8) Evaluation of Projects:

(a) Internal Evaluation of projects where the duration is one or more semesters will be governed

by following policy:-

In each semester of a project there shall be three formal evaluations by a group of three

examiners selected from a panel of examiners constituted by the HOD for the purpose. As far as

possible, the set of examiners for each evaluation should be different
