4. EXAMINATION SYSTEM
The examination for PGDM in IILM GSM is a combination of continuous internal assessment and formal end
term examinations. To qualify in a paper, taking the end term examination is a mandatory requirement except
when it is a 100% coursework paper.
Depending on the nature of subject, the assessment criteria varies. For certain subjects, there might be no
end-term examination, only continuous internal assessment might be held. Generally, internal evaluation is of
40% weightage and end-term examination is 60%.
Class Test (the timing of the same will be decided by the faculty and highlighted in the course outline).
Case studies assignment/presentation
Project work/Assignment
Presentation/Viva/Quiz etc.
Out of the above components class test is compulsory. The weightage of each component of internal
assessment will be decided by the faculty concerned and will be mentioned in the course outline.
The internal assessment marks awarded are notified by the concerned faculty before the start of end-term
exam. Students who fail to meet the deadlines for submission of projects or assignments or who absent
themselves at internal assessment sessions are not entitled to any credits assigned for the same. In their own
interests, students are advised to follow the guidelines and schedule for submission of project reports, etc. In
special cases if the delay is on account of any eventualities / placement activities, then the student must get
a written permission from the concerned authority (Dean/Head-Placements), on the basis of which s/he must
request the faculty to award the marks. All the resolutions regarding the award of marks lie with the
concerned faculty and the examination department will only account the marks submitted by the concerned
faculty.
The two year Program comprises eight end term examinations which are scheduled as shown in the academic
calendar. The end-term exam answer scripts will be shown to the students. After showing the answer scripts
in the classroom for which a separate slot will be given in the time-table of the next term, the students will
have to return back the same. In case a student is not satisfied with marks and the same is non-negotiable on
11
Handbook PGDM (2010-12) Batch June,
2010
the part of the examiner then the case will be referred to the exam team for final decision in consultation
with the concerned examiner.
4.3 Attendance
The attendance system makes it mandatory for students to attend a minimum of 75% of classes in order to
qualify for appearing in examinations. The 25% waiver is granted for exigencies and emergency absence,
including medical emergency, duly supported by certificates and document. The waiver of attendance in such
circumstances does not come automatically. One of the important considerations in granting a waiver of
attendance would be parent’s intimation to us about the situation warranting absence of their ward. In the
absence of parent’s intimation to us, Institute will not be able to permit leave of absence to students.
For any sanctioned leave from Dean, attendance would be calculated excluding leave period. Students with
less than 75% attendance in any individual course will not be allowed to sit in that particular examination. For
this they will be given J Grade (as per the grading system mentioned below) and they will be allowed to
appear in their respective papers in the end term examinations of the subsequent batch only on payment of
the prescribed fee.
4.4 Fees
No student will be allowed to sit in the end-term examination with dues in his/her account. A student
therefore must abide by the deadlines mentioned in the handbook for the payment of their fee installments in
time.
No student will be allowed to sit in the end-term examination without having identity card.
Carrying of mobile phones/electronic gadgets is prohibited in the Examination Hall. No student is
allowed to enter the examination hall after 10 minutes of the start of the examination and is also not
allowed to leave the examination hall during the examination. Sharing of calculator and stationery
during exam is strictly prohibited.
The Examination team members will decide upon cases of unfair means. Any student found using unfair
means during internal or end term examination may be asked to repeat the examination or may be asked to
repeat the examination in all the courses of the said term. The decision of the team will be final and binding
on all. Unfair means include any activity on the part of student before, during or after the examination to
influence the result in any way. This may include copying from other students, from prohibited papers,
electronic gadgets etc., non-adherence to the instructions of the invigilators, plagiarizing in projects and
assignments, indulging in any unruly activity inside examination hall, canvassing with the faculty and other
staff.
IILM Graduate School of Management follows a letter grading system for evaluation of academic achievement
of the students. The grading system followed is given below:
B+ 3.0 Good
B 2.5
12
Handbook PGDM (2010-12) Batch June,
2010
C+ 2.0 Average
C 1.5
D+ 1.0 Poor
D 0.5
F 0 Fail
On the basis of the relative grading assigned by the faculty for each paper, the grade point average is arrived
as follows:
• Multiply the credits by the points assigned to the grade concerned.
• Add the points arrived at for all the papers of the term
• Divide the points by the total number of credits
Calculation:
The total grade points of different terms divided by the total number of credits indicates the Cumulative
Grade Point Average
Every student is required to obtain a CGPA of 2.00 points (on 4.00 point scale) at the end of each term,
barring which s/he is put on academic probation for the next term. In case of no improvement, withdrawal
proceedings may be initiated.
If the CGPA is less than 1.5 and/or the student has more than 12 F grades in the first year the student may be
asked to withdraw from the program.
