Study Notes

Examination Policy

A second examination for outgoing students will be held post eighth semester results, only for candidates who have cleared the seventh semester.
Candidates must maintain a minimum of 85% attendance in theory and practical classes to be eligible for examinations.
If attendance is below the required threshold, students must take re-admission in the following semester to meet academic requirements.
Attendance waivers can be granted: 10% by the principal and an additional 5% from the Kulpati.
Participation in NCC/KSS camps or intercollegiate/university competitions counts as full attendance.
Students must independently verify that they meet attendance requirements before examinations, as admission depends on it.

Examination Preparation and Conduct

A preparation leave of ten days is standard prior to written examinations.
Each semester includes separate theory and practical exams, with minimum passing marks set as 35% (theory), 50% (practical), and 60% (sessional marks).
To pass a semester, students need at least 50% of the total aggregate marks.
Candidates can re-appear in a maximum of two theory papers of their choice to compensate for any aggregate deficiencies.
A deficiency of up to 50% can be condoned to assist candidates.

Subject Carryover and Examination Eligibility

Students can carry subjects (both theory and practical) to higher semesters, needing to clear only those in which they fell short in the previous semester.
Admission to subsequent semesters (V, VI, VII, and VIII) is contingent upon passing the preceding semesters.
Candidates with incomplete seventh semester subjects will have their eighth semester results withheld until all subjects are passed.

Division Awards and Course Structure

Divisions will be awarded to students after completing even semesters (2nd, 4th, and 6th) and will include marks from odd semesters.
The Bachelor of Engineering program spans four years and consists of eight semesters, following a specific examination scheme.
The academic year is divided into odd and even semesters, typically starting in July and December respectively.
Fresh admissions occur only in the first semester, governed by combined entrance testing, with some exceptions for government-controlled admissions.
University examinations are held at the end of each semester, usually in November/December for odd semesters and April/May for even semesters, covering all subjects taught.

Special Considerations

In cases of serious illness during exams, students can gain admission to the next higher semester based on satisfactory medical documentation provided before exams.
