Guidelines for Theory Examinations
Sessional Examinations:
Throughout the academic year, there will be two or more sessional (internal assessment) exams to track your progress. Each sessional exam will last for 90 minutes. Your sessional marks will be based on the best combination of any two exam performances.
Exam Component | Number to Answer | Marks per Question | Total Marks |
Long Answers (Choose 3 out of 4) | 3 | 5 | 15 |
Short Answers (Choose 5 out of 6) | 5 | 3 | 15 |
Objective Type (Answer all 10) | 10 | 1 | 10 |
Total | 40 |
The total marks you achieve in the sessional exams out of 40 will be converted to 20 for each sessional. Then, the average of the best two sessional scores will be used for your internal assessment (out of 20 marks).
Final Board / University Examinations:
During the board or university exams, the question paper will follow this format. The duration of the final examination will be 3 hours.
Exam Component | Number to Answer | Marks per Question | Total Marks |
Long Answers (Choose 6 out of 7) | 6 | 5 | 30 |
Short Answers (Choose 10 out of 11) | 10 | 3 | 30 |
Objective Type (Answer all 20) | 20 | 1 | 20 |
Total | 80 |
In these exams, your total marks out of 80 will determine your performance. The question paper will consist of long answers, short answers, and objective type questions like multiple choice, fill-in-the-blanks, and one-word/one-sentence questions.
Remember, these guidelines are designed to make the examination process fair and informative for you. Good luck with your studies and exams!
