Examination Cell

Controller of Examinations (CoE)

The Examination Cell, functioning as the Controller of Examinations (CoE), plays a central role in upholding academic integrity and excellence at our autonomous college. With autonomy granted, the college has the freedom to design its own curricula, assessment methods, and evaluation systems, ensuring relevance, flexibility and transparency.

Functions & Responsibilities

• Preparation and publication of end-semester and supplementary examination timetables, along with internal assessment schedules.

• Designing and updating question papers, model examinations and practical assessments, aligned to our autonomous curriculum.

• Issuing hall tickets/admit cards, allocating seating arrangements and ensuring smooth conduct of examinations.

• Ensuring confidentiality and security of both internal and external evaluation processes.

• Publishing results, managing re-valuation and scrutiny requests, and conducting grievance redressal for students.

• Maintaining digital records of student assessments, grades, transcripts and statistical reports for academic monitoring and accreditation.

• Coordinating with departments to facilitate continuous improvement of the assessment system in line with autonomy provisions.

Internal Assessment (Continuous Evaluation)

In our autonomous structure, every programme emphasises active learning and ongoing assessment. Internal assessment typically includes:

• Unit tests, surprise tests and assignment submissions.

• Seminars, group discussions, presentations and project work (where applicable).

• Attendance, class participation and practical engagement.

• Each course’s internal assessment component is published ahead of time, and students are made aware of the weightage and deadlines.

End-Semester Examinations & Supplementary Exams

• Exams are scheduled in advance and notified on the website and notice boards.

• End-semester examinations cover the full gamut of course content in line with the autonomous syllabus.

• For students who fail or miss exams, supplementary exams will be offered in due time as per the CoE’s calendar.

• Results are usually declared in a timely manner, leveraging the autonomy to streamline processes and reduce delay.

Grading System & Result Publication

• With autonomy, the college follows a grading system (e.g., letter grades, grade points) instead of mere percentage-based marks, thereby promoting better academic standards and transparency.

• The CoE is responsible for issuing grade sheets/transcripts, maintaining mark registers, and ensuring accuracy of student records.

• For re-valuation, scrutiny or improvement of performance, the relevant application forms are available on the website and students may apply within the stipulated timeframe.

Academic Calendar & Key Dates

• The Examination Cell publishes the Academic & Examination Calendar at the beginning of each academic year, including internal assessment timelines, end-semester exams, result publication dates and supplementary sessions.

• Students are encouraged to plan ahead and adhere to deadlines for registrations, application for re-valuation, and other exam-related formalities.

Student Support & Transparency

• The CoE maintains a help desk / email contact for student queries relating to exams, results and re-valuations.

• Internal assessment and result data for students is displayed prior to submission to ensure transparency.

• The college periodically reviews and updates its examination policies and formats, taking student feedback and best practices into account.
