There should not be any malpractices in this regard. Attendance should also be taken into account for awarding total marks of 10.

Testing of knowledge 

subject-wise testing through mid-term exams is very important outcome of learning, covering a weightage to the extent of 40 % of the total internal assessment. Hence there should be three kinds of questions. Two mid-term examinations should be conducted with 50% marks , for the 50% of the syllabus finished for each mid-term and it should be scaled down to 25 marks. The average of two mid-term examination marks secured by each student should be taken towards 25% weightage of total 100 marks. 

All the staff members should maintain records/registers properly in the prescribed format. The details of the marks secured by the students subject-wise and component-wise should be uploaded by each faculty member in the monitoring app on real time basis without fail.
