Eligibility to Write End Semester Examination

1. Students must have over 75% attendance in both theory and practical classes in each paper to be eligible for the End Semester Examination. Students will be permitted to write the End Semester Exams only in those papers in which they have the required percentage of attendance. If a student does not obtain at least 75% attendance in a subject, they must retake the subject at the next available opportunity.

2. Students are permitted to carry forward all papers not attempted due to a shortage of attendance. However, any student with less than 50 percent overall attendance in a semester is required to repeat the semester. These students must register for the supplementary examination when eligible by paying the requisite examination fee. Additionally, they may be required to complete MOOC and add-on programs as determined by the institution before being allowed to appear for the end semester examinations.

3. If a student has a shortage of overall attendance in a semester and is required to repeat that semester, they will be permitted to attend classes with the next batch of students after taking a semester's break. The student will be classified as a supplementary student.

Minimum Marks for Passing The Examination

1. UG students must score a minimum of 35% in ESE, and 40% in the aggregate of CA and ESE in each paper as minimum marks for passing the examinations. Even though there is no minimum marks required in CA, to be eligible to write the end semester examinations, students are encouraged to have at least 50% marks in Continuous Assessment.

2. To pass a paper, a postgraduate student must score a minimum of 35% in the ESE and 40% in the aggregate of the continuous assessment and end semester exams. Additionally, the student must achieve at least 50% in the aggregate of all papers in that semester to pass the semester.

Rules regarding the appointment of the Scribe for differently-abled students/examination for physically-challenged students

Scribes for writing the examination are allowed for differently-abled students. The writer has to be from a lower standard of academic qualification than the latter to ensure no scope for cheating. Compensatory time allotted should not be less than 15 minutes per hour of examination for persons using scribes. This facility is extended to students with a temporary disability or writing disability. Students with learning disabilities are allowed to use computers to write the examination if they have difficulty in writing.

All seeking to write the examination using the scribe will be allowed to do so, provided they apply in the prescribed application form with supporting documentation (including information on current limitations, prognosis, and expected course or length of time academic adjustments may be needed). They are also eligible for the extra time as applicable for visually challenged students.

All students with communicable diseases like chickenpox will be provided a separate room for writing the examinations. Any person suggested by the differently- abled examinee for appointment as scribe/helper to write the examination and who is not writing the same examination as the differently- abled examinee is writing and also who is not studying in the higher class of the same course may be appointed as a scribe by the Controller of Examinations examination. Such application must be submitted to the COE at least one week before the examination. In case of any change of such scribe/helper appointed earlier the examinee shall obtain fresh permission from the COE.
