Bangalore University Examinations
During the end semester university examination, the exam committee works to ensure the smooth conduct of the examination based on the time table. The process involves receiving question paper from the university, allotting invigilation duty, distribution of question paper and answer booklets to the room invigilators. After the end of exams, answer bundles are collected, packed and sent to the university.
Continuous Internal Assessment
As part of the Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA), CAIAS conducts two examinations in each semester. While the first is of one-and-a-half-hours duration, the second CIA is an internal assessment cum preparatory examination in view of the end semester university examination for a duration of three hours (CBCS) and two-and-a-half hours (NEP). These
exams are conducted strictly in conformity with the University pattern (in terms of question papers, seating arrangements, timetables etc.,).
The pass mark for each subject is 40%. To compute the IA grades, weightage is given to both the internal exams. The Assessment marks are also made available on the college portal to enable parents and guardians to monitor and keep track of their ward’s progress and performance.
Information with regard to the performance in the I CIA is communicated to the parents/guardians during the Parent-Teachers’ Meet organized a couple of weeks after the CIA -I examination. The academic performance of each student is discussed between the class teacher and parent/guardian.
The scheduled dates of the CIA Exams are announced in the college calendar. The time table is announced at least 10 days ahead of the commencement of the examination. Attending the CIA exams is mandatory. Prior permission needs to be taken from competent authorities to be absent for the internal examinations.
According to CBCS, 30% marks are allotted for internal assessment (UG & PG). In alignment with the norms of the Bangalore University, the internal assessment marks shall be based on attendance, assignments, presentations, CIA-I & CIA-II. 30 marks assigned for internal assessment shall be divided into the following components:
