Evaluation System

Semester system will be followed as per Nagaland University directive. Each academic year is divided into two semesters. From June to November are the Odd Semesters and from December to May are Even Semesters. Every eligible student will take admission into every semester.

Examination Routine and the End Semester Examinations shall be notified by the University, which shall be of 3 hours duration.

A student shall be deemed qualified to appear the End-Semester Examinations only if he/she secures minimum qualifying marks in the internal assessment Tests and maintains 80% Attendance separately in every subject.

The performance of a student will be evaluated on a 30:70 basis i.e. 30 marks for internal assessment and 70 marks for end semester examination. A student should secure a minimum of 45% in the internal assessment, and 45% marks in the end semester exam. 45% of 30 Marks is 13.5 Marks. One should secure a minimum of 13 marks in the Internal Assessment. 45% of 70 Marks is 31.5 Marks. One should secure a minimum of 32 marks in the End-Semester Examination. (13+32=45) One should secure 45 marks to pass the
End-Semester Examination.

Continuous internal assessment includes two organized tests and other components such as assignments, presentations, quiz, seminar, etc. Both the Continuous Internal Assessment tests are compulsory to students.

A student who fails to appear for selection examination will be debarred from appearing the University Examination. The Principal’s decision in this regard will be final and binding.

Campus Culture and Code of Conduct

By the word “discipline” the college administration understands it as controlled and ordered behaviour geared for a purpose. It is a means to an end. We seek to realize this discipline internally in the students through filial exhortation rather than by external imposition. Its aim is to nurture a fully human and fully alive identity in the students. Education is the harmonious development of the entire human personality by cultivating everything that is good, beautiful and noble in human nature. Hence it should be the earnest endeavour of all students not only to concentrate on the studies but also to cultivate high and noble ideals of life and conduct. Students should take due interest in the moral, academic, cultural and physical activities of the college. The college administration has laid down the following rules of general behaviour and discipline.
