INTERNAL ASSESSMENTS

(w.e.f. 2019- 2020)

A total of 40 Marks is allotted for internals in Dept. of

MICROBIOLOGY, which facilitate continuous assessment of students, to

know their progress. It also facilitates the teacher to take necessary remedial

activity for slow learners and to encourage the bright students by giving

respective tasks.

Mid Semesters: Among the 40 marks of internals, 10 marks are given for

common Written test as Mid sem exam. Two mid sem exams each of 25

marks will be conducted and the average is taken.

Two assignments are conducted for 10 marks,5 marks will be given

for each assignment

5 marks are allotted for Student Seminars and 5 marks are allotted

for continuous assessment including viva/PPT

10 marks are allotted for project work
