Chennai: Anna University has proposed to set a 60% uniform: 40% molding for external (semester exam), internal examination (departmental level test) for all engineering universities including affiliated colleges, autonomous universities and university departments.
Both theories and internal exams will be carried out for each of the 100 marks.
Then the university will change the candidate score in the theory test to 60 signs and internal exam scores to 40 signs.
The total external and internal exams will be the final score of the candidate in the subject.
Until now, affiliated colleges have 80%: 20% weight system for external and internal values while autonomous colleges and university departments follow 60%: 40% and 50%: 50% molding for semester exams and internal tests.
In accordance with the proposal placed in the academic council meeting held last week, the University plans to provide 60%: 40% moving for practical theories and papers on all technical courses.
Papers with theory and practical components will have 50%: 50% for external and internal examinations.
Quoting the percentage of poor passes in affiliated colleges, professional college consortiums, art and science in Tamil Nadu has submitted state government petitions to follow uniform batteries for external and internal exams for all universities.
When contacted, Anna University officials said the uniformed ratio for all universities had not been resolved.
Professor from Anna University said the proposal would only help private colleges to increase the percentage of passes and, in turn, would help their acceptance.
“Universities need to strengthen sustainable assessment and semester exams to improve quality.
Uniformity in weight is not the right step towards improving quality,” said a school principal from an autonomous college.
Furthermore, the University also proposed introducing new regulations for more than 400 affiliated colleges from 2021-22 at the meeting.
Under new regulations, the BE / BTECH title has been reduced from around 185 credits of up to 160 credits in accordance with the Aicte model curriculum for undergraduate programs.
