Examinations
- Dr. MGR Janaki College of Arts & Science for Women operates under the affiliation of the University of Madras, meticulously adhering to the evaluation methodologies prescribed by the affiliating university. The evaluation framework encompasses a multifaceted approach, incorporating diverse assessment components to comprehensively gauge student performance. Class seminars, assignments, continuous internal assessments, and model examinations collectively contribute to the internal evaluation, generating a holistic perspective on academic progress.
- The delineation between internal and external evaluation is defined by the distinction in the marking process: while marks garnered from the aforementioned components constitute internal evaluation, those attained in the culminating end-semester examinations constitute external marks, denoting the culmination of a term's academic pursuit.
- Transparency and communication are pivotal tenets in the evaluation process. The college proactively disseminates information pertaining to the evaluation process to all stakeholders. Timely updates and directives issued by the university are promptly communicated to ensure all involved parties are cognizant of the procedural nuances.
- The college plays a facilitative role in streamlining the examination registration process for students, enabling seamless integration into the university portal. Additionally, the academic calendar serves as a comprehensive guide, delineating the schedule for Continuous Internal Assessments and Model Examinations, empowering students with foresight into forthcoming evaluation milestones.
- Internal assessments, meticulously scheduled by the Exam Committee, are meticulously conducted in triplicate, ensuring students are well-informed of these pivotal academic checkpoints. Moreover, avenues for addressing grievances concerning internal examinations or marks are proffered, affording students the opportunity to seek resolution through departmental faculty and, if needed, the chief superintendent for grievance redressal.
- The sanctity of the evaluation process is preserved through stringent oversight. Marks are meticulously entered into the University portal under the vigilant supervision of the Exam Cell, fortifying the integrity of academic records. Adherence to attendance requirements is mandated, compelling students falling below the 75% attendance threshold to remit a prescribed condonation fee to be eligible for examination participation.
- The dissemination of end-semester examination dates is promptly facilitated through circulars upon receipt of notifications from the University. Subsequently, students acquire their hall tickets from the University's designated website on prescribed dates, ensuring logistical readiness for the examinations.
- Stringent security protocols are employed within the college premises to safeguard the integrity of examination materials. Question papers, received from the University, are stored under fortified security measures until the examination day. The exam cell orchestrates the examination process meticulously, from planning to execution, further dispatching answer booklets to the University for comprehensive evaluation.
- Inclusivity is a paramount ethos, as accommodations are extended to differently-abled students in line with University directives. Provisions including exemptions, scribe facilities, and additional examination time are diligently provided to ensure an equitable examination environment.
- Moreover, avenues for revaluation or retotalling, in accordance with University stipulations, offer students recourse in the event of discrepancies or uncertainties regarding their evaluated performance.
