ASSESSMENT POLICY DETAINED STUDENTS ATTENDANCE / ASSESSMENT POLICY

Institutions have a responsibility of controlling the quality of students that graduate from them and become part of a profession. This becomes even more important in the medical profession as the graduates will be dealing with something as precious as human lives.

In order to ensure that each of the medical students passing out of SMDC has the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes as a doctor and a high quality professional, it is imperative that quality control mechanisms are in place and remain effective.

Internal assessment of students that ensure the acquisition of necessary proficiency in the cognitive, psychomotor and affective domains is one such quality control mechanism. This also is the first line of defense; with the university examinations being the second line for ensuring that the right people enter the profession.

A minimum of 50% pass marks in the internal assessment (i.e. 50% marks in theory and 50% in practicals) are Mandatory for being sent up for the university examinations. This is to be calculated on a cumulative basis by determining the average score over all the examinations conducted in that subject in the session or over the entire period of instructions in case of subjects taught over a period of more than one year.

Please note, for subjects taught over more than one year, but examined by UHS only at the end of last year of the entire period of instruction, the internal assessment forming the basis of being sent up for university examinations will be the cumulative internal assessment calculated for all assessments conducted in the particular subject which is taught over the 2-3 years period of instruction of that subject.

To ensure that the objectives of clinical rotations are being met and the student is prepared to take on the higher order learning objectives of the subsequent clinical rotation in the same or related subject, it shall be Mandatory to clear the end of rotation examination in the particular year failing which being sent up for the university examination for that year will be withheld.

In case a student fails to maintain the required internal assessment, an opportunity of remediation may be given during the summer break or other such periods as feasible.

In case of clinical rotations, this shall be done during the academic breaks occurring after a clinical rotation.

However, in case of a concomitant shortage of attendance, the internal assessment will follow the mandated remedial rotation.

Students, who do not clear/pass the end of rotation examination in the first attempt, will have to appear in the end of rotation assessment with the subsequent batch or during the academic break as feasible.

Award of Grace Marks or any such increase in marks by any other manner shall not permissible under any circumstances in any subject or examination.“A student must have 75% attendance in PBL separately to be considered as eligible for taking professional examination”.

Please note: It is the responsibility of the student to keep themselves updated regarding their attendance and assessment record during the course of study in a particular subject with the concerned department.

A detainee student will repeat the year with the preceding class for all failed & non examination subjects. He / She will have to complete 75% attendance and 50% assessment in the new session. The attendance and assessment for such students shall be considered from the date of the day after the declaration of Supplementary examination’s result.

Students who could not meet the requirements to appear in annual & supplementary examination will repeat the session with 75% attendance & 50% assessment. The attendance / assessment for such students shall be counted from the day after the determination of Non-eligibility for supplementary examination.

A student who could not pass the course in the annual examination and subsequently appeared in the supplementary examination shall be given credit for next year attendance equivalent to the actual number of days of supplementary examination in which He / She appears.

A student, not eligible to appear in the annual examination due to insufficient attendance and / or assessment, and subsequently cleared the examination in supplementary attempt, their next year’s attendance / assessment shall be considered day after the conclusion of supplementary examination.

In case of clinical rotations, the students have to complete the minimum requirement of 75% attendance for all offered rotations during the academic year. No credit on any account shall be granted to the students. The students who were debarred from appearing in a Professional examination due to insufficient attendance / assessment in lectures and / or clinical rotations will have to complete / makeup their deficiencies for their clinical rotations during the academic breaks.
