Attendance Requirement
Each semester of the course shall be treated as a separate unit for calculation of the attendance. A candidate shall be considered to have satisfied the attendance requirement if he/she has attended not less than eighty percent of the classes in each subject of the respective semesters (Theory, Seminars, Practical training, etc.) actually conducted up to the end of the semester. A candidate, who does not satisfy the attendance requirement, mentioned as above, shall not be eligible to appear for the Examination of that semester and shall be required to repeat that semester along with regular students later. If a candidate, for any reason, discontinues the course after the first/fourth semester he/she may be permitted to register for the second/fifth semester, after one year with the immediate subsequent batch, subject to the condition that he /she shall complete the class work and seminar including the project within the maximum stipulated period of four years from the date of commencement of the course.
Continuous Assessment
Each candidate shall obtain not less than fifty percent of the marks prescribed for the Continuous Assessment of each subject, including seminars. Continuous Assessment Marks shall be based on assignments/tests/oral examinations and seminar conducted in the respective subjects. The criterion for computation and award of the Continuous Assessment marks for all courses will be published in the notice board at the starting of each semester. The candidates obtaining less than fifty percent of the Continuous Assessment marks in any subject shall not be eligible to appear for the examination in that subject. As there is no other provisions to improve Continuous Assessment marks, the candidates who fail to obtain fifty percent of marks for the Continuous Assessment of any subject, have to repeat the entire course of all the subjects of that semester later along with the regular students of the subsequent batch.
The Continuous Assessment mark sheets shall bear the signature of the concerned Faculty and the Dean. The Continuous Assessment marks list shall be displayed on the Notice Board and corrections, if any, shall be incorporated preferably before the commencement of the semester examination.

The ten elective subjects selected can be a ‘six – four’ or ‘five – five’ combination from the two streams of specialization opted by the student. But in each semester a minimum of two subjects should be selected from each stream. Students can submit their option of elective subjects and finalize the same during the first year of study itself.

At the end of the third semester, the students are required to undertake an organization study in an industrial/business establishment for a duration of fifteen days.
