Students' performance is evaluated based on the following criteria:
At SMIT, we recognize that attending classes consistently is a crucial element for academic success. We believe that a dynamic learning environment is fostered when students are physically present in the classroom. This facilitates a more effective teaching-learning process.
As per the guidelines of university, the institute conducts seminars & workshops. As a part of internal evaluation, students are also supposed to give presentations and submit projects & assignments on specific topics assigned to them.
At SMIT, we believe in a holistic approach to education, emphasizing not just theoretical knowledge but also the practical application of that knowledge. To achieve this, we incorporate practical assessments and viva voce examinations into our curriculum. These assessments play a crucial role in evaluating a student's understanding, competency, and ability to translate theory into practice.
As per the university norms, evaluation of students is done not only at the time of examinations but throughout the semester. A student is provided multiple opportunities to perform and to improve his/her performance throughout the semester.
Under this practice, a student is asked to prepare and submit assignments, projects,presentations and seminars followed by class tests, unit tests and practical tests. The components of these assessments vary with the nature of the subject. All these components and their weight age are well communicated to the students at the start of the semester.
The purpose of mid-semester examinations is to prepare the students for University examinations in terms of structure/pattern of Question paper and time management during the written examination. It is generally conducted in the mid of the semester (after half the session is over) and includes approximately 60-70% of the total syllabus of the course.
These examinations are conducted by the University at the end of semester. It includes the examination of all the subjects which may be in the form of written examination, practical, viva-voce, presentation or any other prescribed mode of conducting evaluation.
At SMIT, we believe that only academic performance is not important. Students are also rated upon the level of discipline they maintain and performance in extracurricular activities.
