The college follows a semester-based system for Undergraduate (UG) courses, comprising six semesters (Odd: 1, 3, 5; Even: 2, 4, 6). Coursework is measured in credits, reflecting hours of instruction for lectures, tutorials, and practicals.

Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE):

• Sessional A (Mid-Term): 25 marks, centrally conducted, 1-hour duration.
• Sessional B: 25 marks, decentralized by departments. Can be a written exam, term paper, book review, group discussion, or practical exam (for lab subjects). A minimum of 30% in practicals is mandatory for passing lab-based papers.
• End Semester Examination: 50 marks, centrally conducted University exam, 2-hour duration.

University Regulations on Conduct of Examination:

• Eligibility: Students must apply, pay fees, and maintain at least 75% attendance. A 5% shortage may be condoned by the Principal/Dean for genuine cases with HoD recommendation. Below this, students must repeat the entire examination.
• Repeat Examinations: Allowed once per paper for passing or improvement (if failed or disqualified). Results from repeat exams do not count for medals/prizes/ranking. Requires CoE permission and fees.
• Examination Routine: End-Semester Examination routines are prepared by the CoE office and notified at least one week prior to the exam date.
