If it is found that any student has appeared in the examinations without the Admit Card, the result will be treated as NULL and VOID. A case will also be registered against the student for Malpractices for suitable action.

If a student fails to clear any of the paper (s) or all subjects of a year, he/ she has to re-appear for the relevant paper (s) or year by applying and filling up the re-sitting form along with relevant examination fee.

The problem basically arises for students who have accumulated too many backlog papers. There is no provision for appearing in two different examination papers in the same Session on the same day. In all such cases, students are advised to apply and appear for only one paper. If found that any student has appeared in two papers simultaneously in the same Session, the result will be treated as NULL and VOID. A case will also be registered against the student under Malpractices for a suitable action.

Re-registration to the higher years in CMJ University is not linked to clearing (passing) of the previous Years. The structure provides ample chance to the students to clear the backlog papers. Every student gets minimum two consecutive chances to clear a paper. The grouping of the subjects permits the students to appear in the backlog papers in every alternative Year. While filling the Re-sitting Forms for the backlog papers, the students should meticulously plan as to which papers they would like to appear, whenever there is a clash of papers. Please note that the students will be permitted to appear in only one paper during each Session on any day. It is reiterated that the system provides adequate opportunity to the students to clear the backlog papers.

Second Alternative, you can choose On Demand Online Examinations. On-Demand Online Examination will provide a completely flexible system of examination independent of the traditional fixed time frame. Under the scheme of On-Demand Online Examinations, students can walk into the identified Centre for Raafiah College of Distance Education (run by PSW) authorised Test Centre on the prescribed days as per their choice and appear for the examination for the course for which they are registered.

There is no supplementary examination system, at present. However, term-end examinations are held twice a year. The examination will be conducted at designated examination center ( a neutral venue) twice a year. Tentative schedule of examination is as under:

• Term End Examination for Spring Session will be held in the month of December every year.
• Term End Examination for Fall Session will be held in the month of June every year.

The exact date schedule will be published on the website prior to the commencement of the Paper Pencil term-end examination. The students may apply in any of the sessions to become eligible to appear for backlog papers. However, students are advised to refer to the eligibility guidelines provided along with re-sitting form.

Under the scheme of On-Demand Online Examinations, students can walk into authorised Test Centre on the prescribed days as per their choice and appear for the examination for the course for which they are registered

A student should secure at least 35% marks in the Continuous Evaluation and 35% marks in the Term End Examination to pass and aggregate total should be 40% and above. Again, this may vary from program to program. Hence, students are advised to refer to the program regulation issued to them at the time of admission.

Project Examination: - This applies to all the students. They are considered to have passed in the Project Examination if they score:

• 35% marks in the Project Examination (PE) conducted by the Mentor.
• 35% marks in the term end comprehensive University Examination (UE), if any, and,
• 40% aggregate of the Project Examination (PE) and the term end Examination.

Students are advised to note that the IA pattern may vary from program to program. A student is required to submit minimum two Assignments as prescribed against each subject. For details students are advised to go through the program regulation issued to them at the time of admission. Students are advised to attend practical classes (In case of practical papers) as required, and submit the requisite details to the Centres as part of Internal Assessment. The faculty at the Centres will evaluate the IAs, practical logs and assign marks based on the performance to each individual student.  IA marks have to be notified to the students prior to these being uploaded to the University. The average of the two assignments will be considered for the grading of the students

University evaluates the Term End Examination papers.

Results will be declared within 45 working days from the last day of the Examinations. 

The students are required to clear all the papers of the program within the prescribed validity period as mentioned in the prospectus/ admission documents at the time of admission.

Example:

• A student who joins MCA first year. The minimum duration required to complete the course is 3 years. The maximum time available to complete the course is 6 years.
• A student who takes re-entry admission to MCA second year. The minimum duration required to complete the course is 2 years. The maximum time available to complete the course is 4 years.

The structure of CMJ University Programs is versatile and provides ample opportunity to the students to complete the course without loss of years due to backlog papers. Unlike other vertical programs, re-registration to the higher years is not linked to clearance of the previous years. A student gets minimum two consecutive chances to clear a paper. The grouping of the subjects permits student to appear in the backlog papers in every alternative year. For instance, a backlog paper of first year can be taken with second year and third year hence he/she gets 4 chances to clear the subject. 

Provision of old question papers has a great disadvantage in that it curbs the multi dimensional approach of the students to learning.  Students are expected to adopt a learner-centric approach to the studies and are advised not to follow ‘guide’ pattern of learning and answering. The strength of our programmes is in generating the habit of self-analysis and comprehension. Students are well advised to formulate number of questions on the pattern (as per the sample questions) and build up their own notes/question banks.

Within 45 working days of the declaration of the results, the individual Marks Card will be sent to the Centre for distribution to the students. Student is advised to visit the Centre and collect the same without fail.

There is no provision for re-evaluation because the valuation is done by scanning the OMR answer sheets at least twice. The answer sheets are marked by the students by darkening the appropriate circle to indicate the answer for a question. The scanning process which evaluates the answer sheets is 100% error free and hence no re-evaluation is permitted. However, the students can apply for verification of the results using FORM, available under student login.

It is appropriate to mention that our analysis shows that the following could be the reasons for students scoring less mark than expected by them:-

• Students make mistake while darkening the appropriate columns. For instance, while marking an answer for Question No 3, answer may have been wrongly darkened against the field for Question No 4.
• In few cases, the students mark more than one answer by darkening the additional circles. The evaluation is programmed to disregard such answers and hence the loss of marks.
• In some cases, the students mention incorrect data with regard to Registration No, Test Booklet No, Subject Code and the Centre Code etc. The instructions given in the MCQ answer sheet must be strictly complied with.

There is also no provision for re-evaluation of Online Examination because the valuation is done by computer system. The online evaluation process which evaluates the answer is 100% error free and hence no re-evaluation is permitted.

Please note that no communication regarding re-evaluation, etc. will be entertained in view of the above.
