The institution follows a very clear, well- planned calendar which schedules the examination, preparation of question papers, conduct of examinations, evaluation of answer scripts, declaration of results and issuing of Statement of Marks and Grades. Every academic year, students take up End Semester Examinations in November and April.

In Evaluation system, both Formative and Summative is followed. The formative examination known as the Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) and has components like written internal tests, assignments/seminar and model examinations. The CIA marks are submitted into online portal of COXCO software by staff members from their department and the final CIA marks are sent to the Office of the Controller of Examinations. The summative examinations are conducted at the end of the semester. Centralized evaluation is conducted for both UG/PG Programmes. Dummy numbers system is used to maintain confidentiality.

The Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) as per Bharathiar University under UGC norms has been followed. Varying credits are assigned to different courses depending on the instructional hours and the nature of the syllabus content. CBCS gives freedom to the students to study courses of their choice and enables transfer of credits if a student migrates to another institution to complete the same programme. It also helps the students to earn more credits than the required minimum by learning extra courses like Bharathiar University approved Diploma certificate courses and Advanced Learners courses offered by the Departments.

To improve and enhance student learning and teaching quality, our curriculum has been designed as Programme Outcome (PO) and Programme Special Outcome (PSO) based on the approach of Outcome Based Education (OBE) from 2018-2019 and onwards. Blooms Taxonomy has been used as the basis for setting learning outcomes, teaching methods and in student's assessment.
