STRATEGIC PLAN

TEACHING, LEARNING AND EVALUATION

At the beginning of the year the academic calendar is provided to the students. The calendar provides information about the internal test, holidays and total working days. At the beginning of every semester Staff members prepared detailed lesson plan and strictly adhere to it.

We follow Thiruvalluvar university regulation such as Syllabus, Mark allocation, Grade, Pass mark, Internal mark, External mark, Core subject, Allied subject, Environmental studies, Non major elective, Skill based subject and Extension activities. In each semester the performance of a student is evaluated in terms of percentage of marks with a provision for conversion to grade points. Through a continuous internal assessment and semester examinations of three hour duration, Evaluation for each semester shall be done by the course teacher concerned and the results of both will be consolidated at the end of the semester.

The mark ratio of the continuous internal assessment to the semester examination is 25:75. Wherever applicable the evaluation of laboratory component, will also be based on both a continuous internal assessment and semester practical examination.
