REFORMS IN CONTINUOUS INTERNAL EVALUATION(CIE) SYSTEM AT THE INSTITUTIONAL LEVEL:

The college follows the Mizoram University Examination rules and Regulations, the latest reforms undertaken by the University are:

  • Introduction of the semester system across all graduate studies from 2011 academic session.
  • Introduction of a central evaluation system since 2012.
  • Introduction of an internal evaluation of University practical examinations.
  • Introduction of the Choice Based Credit System(CBCS) and the Continuous Assessment Grading Pattern(CAGP) since the academic session 2015-2016
  • Introduction of attendance marks and class performance marks as part of the internal assessment.

The institution ensures effective implementation of the evaluation reforms of the university and those initiated by the institution. Any reforms or directions by the University is immediately implemented and followed to the letter, augmenting some internal arrangements as follows:

  • The institution monitors the progress of the students continuously through the system of Monthly Attendance Records, Class Test, Home Assignments, Laboratory Works, Selection Test, Field Study Reports, Project Report and Paper Presentation in the Class Room Seminars, Quiz competition and debates.
  • The progress of the students are communicated to the students and their parents through Parents – Teachers Meets and Teachers – Students Meets, displaying monthly attendance records, results of various internal tests conducted by the institutions in the Notice Boards
  • Formative assessment includes Seminar presentation, short quizzes, assignments, Extension Work, an Open Book Test (with the concerned teacher deciding which books are to be allowed for this purpose) and Mini Research Project by an individual student or a group of students, workshops, communication skills.
  • Transparency is ensured in the evaluation process. After each test, the test papers are distributed to the students and the marks secured are posted publicly.
  • Students are informed about the portion of curriculum for the assessment/ examinations, nature and format of question paper and weightage of marks for topics prescribed by the University.
  • Students are provided with question banks, reference material/books.
  • On introduction of any new evaluation method for assessment, suggestions given by faculty are considered and new methods, if found suitable, are approved unanimously. The outcome of the entire exercise is that the evaluation method does not become a hurdle while evaluating students.
  • Weightage for behavioural aspects is not an aspect for assessment as per university guidelines. Independent learning and communication skills are given weightage with the prior knowledge of the students.
  • The teachers even try to help students in case of extreme emergencies so that they get full support from the college and their studies do not suffer. For instance, some students undergo severe personal and family problems that requires them to be sole bread winners. In such cases, the teachers often step in with the financial and emotional help required.
  • Research projects have been introduced in the 5th semester (Psychology). All students have their own research projects which they conduct under the supervision of their professors.
