Age

17 years and above ( Only those whose date of birth falls on or before 31.12.2002 are eligible)

Attendance Requirement

A minimum of 80% in both theory and practical (regular) class is essential to get eligibility for sessional as well as semester exam.

Industrial Tour & Training

There shall be a minimum of three periodical tests preferably one in each term in theory and practical of each subject in an academic year. the average marks of the best of the two tests will be calculated and reduced to 20 in theory and 15 in practicals. The marks of IA shall be communicated to the university at least 15 days before the commencement of the university examination.

The university shall have access to the records of such periodical tests.The marks of the internal assessment must be displayed on the notice board of the respective colleges with in a fortnight from the date test is held.

If a candidate is absent for any one of the tests due to genuine and satisfactory reasons, such a candidate may be given a re-test. Within a fortnight

Internal Assessment Marks

During each academic year three sets of exams for theory paper will be conducted for maximum marks of 30 and an average of best two exams will be considered. For practical papers internal assessment marks for maximum marks of 30 will be awarded considering the student’s regularity, manipulative skill, and viva voice during regular practical classes.
