Program Assessment Procedure and Rules
Each course unit offered in the MCOM program comprises different assessment and evaluation methods. The types of assessment and evaluation methods included in a particular course unit are based on the nature of the course unit and the intended learning outcome. In addition to the continuous assessment and evaluation methods, all students are required to sit for the end-semester examination.
The portfolio of the continuous assessment methods included in the MCOM program comprises mid-semester tests, classroom discussions and presentations, individual and group assignments and presentations, and the business capstone project. A course unit shall include at least one continuous assessment method; the aggregate of marks permitted for continuous assessment methods is 50% or above. The type of continuous assessment methods and the marks allotted for each continuous assessment method shall be announced at the commencement of the course unit by the respective course facilitators. Similarly, the end-semester examination shall depend on the aggregate marks allotted for the continuous assessment methods of each course unit. For example, if the aggregate marks of the continuous assessment method of a course unit are 80%, then the total marks of the end-semester examination are 20%. Also, at least 40% should be earned from the end-semester assessment (i.e. if the marks allocation for the end-semester is 20%, at least 8 out of 20 marks should be earned) to pass the course unit. It should be noted that to be eligible to sit the end-semester examinations, students must maintain 80% attendance for lectures and in-class activities.
Evaluation criteria for each course unit have been mentioned in the detailed curriculum and will be provided on the first day of the respective study term through the Learning Management System (LMS).
