Assessments

Each course is assessed through a balanced combination of Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) and End Semester Examination (ESE). CIA (30%) includes classroom participation, assignments, practical exercises, quizzes, and short-term projects that evaluate conceptual understanding and progress throughout the semester.

ESE (70%) focuses on practical demonstrations, project submissions, viva-voce, and written or digital evaluations designed to test applied skills, creativity, and software proficiency. The assessment pattern prioritizes portfolio development over evaluation, encouraging students to showcase their learning through creative outputs such as short films, animation clips, and compositing work. Rubric-based evaluations are used for transparency and uniformity in grading.
