 2. Assessment Criteria :
Eligibility to appear for Professional examinations the performance in
essential components of training are to be assessed, based on following
three components:
(a) Attendance :- There shall be a minimum of 75% attendance in theory and 80%
attendance in practical /clinical for eligibility to appear for the examinations in that
subject. In subjects that are taught in more than one phase -the learner must have 75%
attendance in theory and 80% attendance in practical in each phase of instruction in
that subject..
(b) Internal Assessment (IA): Internal assessment shall be based on day-to-day
assessment. For subjects taught in more than one phase, there shall be IA in every
phase in which the subject is taught. It shall relate to different ways in which learners
participate in the learning process including assignments, preparation for seminar,
clinical case presentation, preparation of clinical case for discussion, clinical case
study/ problem solving exercise, participation in project for health care in the
community, Quiz, Certification of competencies, museum study, log books, SDL
skills etc.
Internal assessment should have both subjective and objective assessment.
Internal assessment shall not be added to summative assessment. However, internal
assessment marks in absolute marks should be displayed under a separate column in a
detailed marks card.
For R -24 the internal assessment marks for each subject will be out of 100 for
theory and out of 100 for practical/clinical. For R – 23 the internal assessment marks
for each subject will be out of 500 for theory and out of 500 for practical/clinical.
For subjects that teach in more than one phase, cumulative IA to be used as eligibility
criteria. The final cumulative marks are to be used for eligibility.

(c) Certifiable Competencies achieved:

1. Learners must have completed the required certifiable competencies for that phase of
training and completed the log book appropriate for that phase of training to be
eligible for appearing at the final university examination of that subject.

2. Regular periodic examinations shall be conducted throughout the course. There shall
be no less than three theory and practical internal assessment examinations in each
subject of phase 1 &II, and this mandatorily includes pre-university examination. The
pattern of Pre University Exam must be same as the University Exam. Log book
(including required skill certifications) to be assessed and marks given from 10-20%
in internal assessment.

3|Page
 3. Learners must secure at least 50% of the total marks (combined in theory and
practical / clinical; and minimum 40% in theory and practical separately) for
internal assessment in a particular subject in order to be eligible for appearing at
the final University examination of that subject.

4. The results of internal assessment should be intimated to students at least once in 3

months and as and when a student wants to see the results.

(d) Remedial measures:

A student whose has deficiency(s) in any of the 3 criteria that are required to
be eligible to appear in university examination, should be put into remedial process as
below

During the course: If Internal assessment (IA) or attendance is less or/and

certifiable competencies not achieved and marked in log book in quarterly/ six
monthly monitoring, the students/parents must be intimated about the possibility of
being detained much before the final university examination, so that there is sufficient
time for remedial measures. These students should be provided remedial measures as
and when needed to improve IA. Any certifiable competency/ IA marks deficiency
should be attended with planned teaching/tests for them. Student should complete the
remedial measures and it should be documented. In spite of all above measures, if
student is still not meeting the criteria to be eligible for regular exam he shall be
offered remedial for the same batch supplementary exam. For attendance, he will be
allowed remedial measures ONLY IF attendance is more than 60% for each
component.

At the end of phase: If Internal assessment (IA) or attendance is less or/and

certifiable competencies not achieved and marked in log book at the end of regular
classes in a phase, the student is detained to appear in regular university examination
of that batch.

Remedial classes can be planned for students missing regular classes on

genuine grounds, thus ensuring that all certifiable competencies are achieved.

Students who have less than 75% attendance in theory and 80% attendance in
practical cannot appear for University examination, however; they may appear for
Supplementary examination provided they attend the remedial classes organised
between University and Supplementary exam. Students who have attendance 60%
or above shall be eligible for such remedial classes.
