(b) Evaluation: The evaluation carrying 60% marks would be done through
lab/class test, assignment, assigned project, oral test, performance, tour
report, etc. of the students.

(c) Final assessment: The final assessment will be done by the viva voce
board (s) headed by the discipline Head or any other senior teacher of the
discipline not below the rank of Assistant Professor. However, the Chairman
may appoint other teacher(s) as member of the board if necessary. This part
of the assessment will carry 30 marks.

will be arranged according to the following table: Paper/Thesis. Each examiner will evaluate the Paper separately and the
average marks will be considered for grading. However, if the marks given
by the first and second Examiners vary 20% or more, a Third Examiner to be
appointed by the concerned Examination Committee from the outside of the
University will evaluate the Project Paper/Thesis. Among these numbers,
average of the closest two numbers will be considered for grading. However,
if the marks given by the third Examiner happen to stand at the middle of the
marks given by the first two Examiners, the average of the three marks will
be considered for grading.

Basis for awarding marks for class attendance will be as follows:

At least one class test will be taken from each section. But if there is only
one class test in one section, that single test will be counted as the section Attendance Marks
