Evaluation Methodology

The student’s progress is reviewed throughout the duration of the course by evaluating his Laboratory Assignments. This Assignment Evaluation has a weightage of 100 marks out of a total of 500 marks. Only those students who have scored atleast 40% marks in the Assignment Evaluation are eligible to appear for the Theory and Lab Examinations. A comprehensive Theory Examination encompassing all the modules is conducted at the end of the course. The examination shall be conducted at a particular ATC subject to a minimum of 20 candidates appearing for the exam. In case the number is less than 20, students will have to travel to the nearest designated examination Centre on their own. This examination
which is set and evaluated by C-DAC, has a weightage of 200 marks out of a total of 500 marks. The written test will consist of multiple choice objective type questions. ACTS will also conduct a Laboratory Examination in which the student will have to solve a set of programming problems. The Lab Exam will carry a weightage of 100 marks. The Project will also carry a weightage of 100 marks in the final evaluation. The final theory and lab examinations will take place on the Sunday of the twenty sixth week of the course.
Students scoring at least 40% marks in each component of the evaluation will be awarded the Advanced Diploma in Information Technology by C-DAC with grades as per the Grading Scale given below :
