GUIDELINES FOR CONTINUOUS INTERNAL ASSESSMENT (20%) FOR REGULAR
STUDENTS OF POST-GRADUATE COURSE IN M.A. PSYCHOLOGY (Annual System)
(effective from the admissions for the Academic Session 2007-2008)
1. The Syndicate has approved the following guidelines, mode of testing and evaluation including
Continuous Internal Assessment of students :
(i) Terminal Evaluation : 80 %
(ii) Continuous Assessment : 20 %
(iii) Continuous Assessment may include written assignment, snap tests, participation in
discussions in the class, term papers, attendance etc.
(iv) In order to incorporate an element of Continuous Internal Assessment of students, the
Colleges/Departments will conduct three tests as quantified below :
M.A. I
(a) Three Tests :
I 25
II 25 2 best tests = 50
III 25
(b) Snap Tests : 15
(c) Participation in class discussions : 10
(d) Term Paper/s : 15
(e) Attendance : 10
Total : 100 reduced to 20 marks
2. Weightage of 2 marks for attendance component out of 20 marks for Continuous Assessment shall be
available only to those students who attend 75% and more of classroom lectures/seminars/
workshops. The break–up of marks for attendance component for theory papers shall be as under :
Attendance Component Mark/s for Theory Papers
(a) 75 % and above upto 85 % : 1
(b) Above 85 % : 2
3. It shall not be compulsory to pass in Continuous Internal Assessment. Thus, whatever marks are
secured by a student out of 20% marks, will be carried forward and added to his/her score out of
80 %, i.e. the remaining marks allocated to the particular subject and, thus, he/she shall have to secure
pass marks both in the University examinations as well as total of Internal Continuous Assessment
and University examinations.
4. Continuous Internal Assessment awards from the affiliated Colleges/Departments must be sent to the
Controller of Examinations, by name, two weeks before the commencement of the particular
examination on the proforma obtainable from the Examination Branch.
M.A. II
Continuous Internal Assessment : 20 marks
1. Two Written Tests : 20 Marks each
(reduced to 5 marks)
2. Project Work : 10 Marks
(5 marks Data Collection, 5 marks Write up)
SPECIAL NOTE :
(i) The theory question paper will be of 80 marks and 20 marks will be for internal assessment.
(ii) For private candidates, who have not been assessed earlier for internal assessment, the marks
secured by them in theory paper will be increased proportionately to maximum marks of the paper
in lieu of internal assessment.
(iii) In the case of Postgraduate Courses in the Faculties of Arts, Science, Languages, Education,
Design & Fine Arts, and Business Management and Commerce (falling under the purview of
Academic Council), where such a provision of Internal Assessment/Continuous Assessment
already exists, the same will continue as before.
