Examinations are conducted on the last week of each semester and the final grade is calculated based on both internal (40%) and external (60%) assessments. Internal assessment includes students' work on Assignments, Paper presentations, Reading reports, attendance, class participation, weekly tests/mid-term exam, and other learning activities. To be eligible to appear for the final examination, students are required to get at least 40% for each learning activity in the Internal Assessment (out of 40). The external assessment includes the final examination. To pass in the examinations, students need to score at least 40% of total marks.

If a student fails in three or more subjects in a semester, then they need to clear their failed subjects before the end of the next semester. The students can't be admitted in the next academic year without clearing up all the failed subjects and in such cases, students should continue in the same class again.
