Students have to appear before viva-voce exams at the end of each class year (i.e., second semester, fourth semester, sixth semester and eighth semester). In addition, students have to undergo an internship of one and a half months at the end of eighth semester. The internship and project paper carries weight of 3 credit hours and the viva-voce carries 3 credit hours.
EVALUATION AND GRADING
Performance of students in a course will be evaluated as under:
First Mid-term Test 15 percent
Second Mid-term Test 15 percent
Term Paper and Quiz 10 percent
Final Exam 60 percent
TOTAL 100 percent
Two examiners evaluate the scripts of final examination and the average is taken for grading. If the difference between the marks of two examiners is significant, the script is graded by a third examiner and the average mark is taken into account. The total marks in a course will be converted into letter-grade as under:

For the viva-voce examinations, a student is awarded only one grade after the end of fourth year. After completion of the fourth year second semester final examination, a student is required to undergo a one-and a half month long internship program and to write a project paper. The internship program and the project paper is supervised and examined by the respective guide teacher.
