Assessments

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honors) program follows a balanced assessment system that combines Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA) with End Semester Examinations (ESE). Students are regularly evaluated on foundational subjects such as drawing, colour work, and core theory to ensure strong artistic fundamentals. As students progress, assessments in Discipline-Specific Electives focus on both technical skill and conceptual growth within chosen mediums. Learning is further evaluated through seminars and advanced studio practice, encouraging critical thinking and artistic clarity. The program culminates in a 12-credit dissertation, where students independently develop and present a substantial body of work that reflects their creative vision, research, and professional readiness.
