(A) Continuous Assessment
Continuous assessment will be done through coursewise assignments given to students. Each course will have 4 assignments. Students will be expected to complete all assignments carrying 20 marks each. The marks obtained by the students for all the assignments of each course will be converted to a score out of 20.

Assignments submission for each course must be completed by the stipulated dates in an academic year as communicated by the institute.

(B) End Examination
The end examination for each course will consist of 100 marks, with duration of three hours. Each end examination question paper will generally consist of two sections: 60 marks for Section I and 40 marks for Section II. Questions for Section I will be mainly based on theoretical concepts or ideas whereas questions for Section II will generally be based on application of concepts or ideas, possibly through case studies, wherever applicable. No general option among questions will given; rather, questions will be given internal options. The marks obtained out of 100 for each course will be converted to a score out of 80.

The marks for the continuous assessment component (out of 20) and the end examination (out of 80) will be combined for each course to get the total marks for the concerned course (out of 100).

(C) Project Work
The project work is compulsory for all students after the completion of the 2nd year. The duration of the project is 6 months. Assessment of the project work will be done after submission of the project report. Project work carrying 500 marks will be done under the guidance of a project supervisor. A project report may be in the form of a comprehensive case study, inter-organizational study or fieldwork. Detailed instructions regarding submission and assessment of a project will be provided in due course. Projects assessed as unsatisfactory will have to be re-submitted after incorporating the modifications as specified and after payment of the requisite evaluation fees for assessment of the modified project report. In exceptional cases, a student may be allowed to change the topic of his project under a discretionary authority.
