EVALUATION
The evaluation consists of two parts: 1) continuous evaluation through assignments, and 2) term-end examination. For the final result all the assignments of a course carry 30% weightage while 70% weightage is given for term-end examination. The following is the scheme for awarding divisions and grades:

You are required to score at least 40% marks at the term-end examination separately for all courses and the Project Work. In the overall computation too you must get at least 40% marks to claim the Certificate in Environmental Studies.

Assignment of a course carries 30% weightage. Therefore, you are advised to take your assignments seriously. A simple omission on your part may result in a loss to you.
