AR(UG) 13 ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE IN COURSE
AR(UG) 13.1 The performance of a student in a course is judged through (i) continuous assessment of theory, tutorial and practical work and (ii) end-semester theory, tutorial and practical examinations.
AR(UG) 13.2 The end- semester theory examination in a course has a weightage of 70 percent of theory marks. The remaining 30 percent of theory marks will be awarded through continuous assessment carried out during the semester.
AR(UG) 13.3 The end-semester tutorial/practical examination in a course has a weightage of 60 percent of total tutorial/practical marks and continuous assessment of the same carries the remaining 40 percent of total tutorial/practical marks. Tutorial/practical work (both end-semester and continuous) shall be evaluated on the basis of several of the following instruments of assessment: observation of experimental skills, reports, oral examination, quizzes, end- semester practical examination, attendance, etc. Continuous assessment (tutorial/practical) scheme is given below:
Term work 20 percent (Equal weightage for every practical. At least 10 practical/ tutorial need to be performed or mini project)
Quiz /Assignment/ Viva/active 20 percent learning component
Total 40 percent
AR(UG) 13.4 The overall performance of student in the course is assessed on the principle of a “single head of passing”, i.e., there will be a single grade for a course based upon the aggregate of marks obtained by the student in theory and
Academic Regulations & Civil Engineering Syllabus during A.Y 2015-2018 Page 8 of 113
BIRLA VISHVAKARMA MAHAVIDYALA (Engineering College) (An Autonomous Institution affiliated to Gujarat Technological University)
practical components in continuous assessment as well as end semester examination. However, a student should score minimum 30% marks in end semester examination to make himself/ herself gradable. Examiner(s) can grace up to 10% of total marks of end semester theory examination in marks of end semester theory examination to make a student gradable by making the resolution of the same in grade sheet. However, grace marks shall not be counted in the aggregate of marks obtained by the student for the grading.
AR(UG) 14 EXAMINATIONS
AR(UG) 14.1 The end-semester examination for all courses offered in each semester of an academic year will be conducted by the Institute.
AR(UG) 14.2 No student shall be allowed to the end semester examination unless he/she has attended minimum 75% of Theory Lectures/ Tutorials/ Practical classes of the course and will be awarded letter grade LA (Ref. AR(UG) 15) in all the subjects he/she has registered in the corresponding semester.
AR(UG) 14.3 The college will conduct two continuous assessment of theory (mid semester examination) in a semester for each subject. The average marks of two mid semester examinations shall be considered as the final marks for continuous assessment of theory. A student who remains absent in any of the two mid semester examination for whatsoever reason(s) shall be awarded with zero marks in the respective mid semester examination. However, a student remains absent due to any of the following unforeseen reasons, shall be permitted to appear along with remedial mid-semester examination. The marks of mid semester remedial examination of such students shall be considered as marks of mid semester examination in which he/she remained absent. a) A student is critically ill or injured. (Student or his/her relative shall get prior approval) b) Death of direct blood relation relative. (Student or his/her relative shall inform to Head/Principal immediately after the incident and permission will not be granted for more than 24 hours) c) A student representing Gujarat state in national level events and/or India in international events organized by official boards.
AR(UG) 14.4 No student shall be allowed to appear in the end semester examination of a course unless he/ she scored at least 25% marks in mid semester examination and will be considered in “NOT PERMITTED TO APPEAR (NPTA)” status for the respective course. The NPTA status carries zero grade point in performance index calculation. Remedial mid semester examination shall be conducted by the department for NPTA students before the beginning of the end semester examination. If a student gets 25% or more marks, he/she shall be “PERMITTED TO APPEAR” in the end semester examination. However, he/she will be awarded only 25% marks in continuous theory assessment. For genuine reasons, if a student remains absent in the mid semester examination and

BIRLA VISHVAKARMA MAHAVIDYALA (Engineering College) (An Autonomous Institution affiliated to Gujarat Technological University)
subsequently appear in the remedial examination, the marks scored by the student will be considered as continuous theory assessment marks. If a student still remains with NPTA status, he/she shall appear in mid semester remedial examination of the next semester.
AR(UG) 14.5 The End Semester tutorial/practical examination shall be rescheduled for a student who is not able to appear in the regular schedule due to following reason. a) A student is critically ill or injured.

(Student or his/her relative shall inform to Head/Principal immediately after the incident and permission will not be granted for more than 24 hours) c) A student representing Gujarat state in national level events and/or India in international events organized by official boards. However, such rescheduling should be confined within the Academic Calendar of the respective semester.
AR(UG) 14.6 The college will conduct only one continuous assessment of theory (mid semester examination) for all subjects of the semester in the following cases. a) First Semester of B. Tech. program. b) Third semester of B. Tech. program for the students who are admitted in the second year of B.
