The System
 
          The course credit system with internal assessment is followed in the University for both under-graduate and post-graduate programmes. The medium of instruction in both the programmes is English.
 
Academic Terms
 
          The academic year of the University is from August to July. The academic year consists of two terms of 22 weeks each. Each term is called "Semester". There is a break of few days between two consecutive semesters.
 
Courses
 
          During a semester, the students register themselves for a number of courses. A "course" is a unit of instruction of a subject matter under any discipline carrying a specific number of "Credit Hour(s)".
 
Credit Hours
 
          'Credit Hours’ signify the quantum of work done corresponding to 1 hour of theory class or 2-3 hours of laboratory/field practical every week during a semester in respect of a particular course.
 
Attendance
 
          A student is to maintain a minimum of 75 per cent attendance separately for theory and practical in each course, failing which he/she is debarred from appearing in the End term examination.
 
Examination
 
          There are two examinations in a semester, viz., Mid term examination and End term examination. Mid term examination is conducted in the middle of the semester.whereas the end term and practical examinations are held at the end of the semester. A student registering for a course must sit for the Mid term examination in that course to be eligible for appearing in the End term examination. Besides a student has to appear in quizes/tests and carryout field/laboratory/library/clinical assignments throughout the semester.
In case of B.V. Sc. & A.H. degree programme there is a system of annual composite examination at the end of each academic year culminating the end of professional programme, beginning with first professional. The answer script of the annual examination shall be examined by the external examiner.
