EVALUATION SYSTEM (BE, BCA, BBA):
Pokhara University has adopted internationally recognized evaluation and grading system. Students’ performance is evaluated in two phases – internally by the concerned subject teacher and the college and externally by the office of the controller of examinations through semester end examination. A three hour exam is conducted by the university at the end of each semester carrying full marks of 100 converted to 50% weight for final evaluation. Students’ internal marks will be determined on the basis of their accomplishment in the following areas: class test, first term, qualifying examination, assignment, attendance, practical, presentation and projects.
