Examination Framework
All MSDU examinations are conducted in line with UGC's ODL & Online Programmes Regulations, 2020. The grading follows the Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS) and is fully aligned with NEP 2020 — credits earned can be deposited in the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC).
Continuous internal assessment carries 30% weight; term-end examinations carry the remaining 70%. A minimum of 40% in each component is required to pass.
Types of Examinations
Term-end Examinations
Held at the end of every semester. Conducted online with AI proctoring through the secure browser. Question papers are subjective + objective.
Continuous Assessment
Weekly assignments, MCQ quizzes, and discussion-board contributions account for 30% of the final grade. Ongoing throughout the semester.
Practical / Project Work
Live virtual labs, project submissions, and viva-voce sessions for technical and research-oriented programmes.
Re-examinations
Held within 60 days of result publication for backlog or improvement candidates. Apply via the LMS.
Exam-Day Guidelines
- Ensure stable internet (minimum 2 Mbps), webcam, and microphone are working before the exam
- Use a quiet, well-lit room — Argus AI flags multiple faces, mobile phones, or excessive background noise
- Government photo ID (Aadhaar / Passport / Driving Licence) is mandatory for identity verification
- Secure browser (Argus) must be installed and active throughout the exam window
- Tab switching, screen sharing, and external screens are disabled — closing the browser ends the exam
- Submit your paper before the timer ends; auto-submission triggers at the end of the slot
Results & Marksheets
- Provisional results published on the LMS within 30 days of the last paper.
- Digitally signed semester-wise marksheets uploaded to the student dashboard.
- Re-evaluation window opens for 15 days after result publication (₹500 per paper).
- Final degree certificate issued at the convocation following programme completion.
Academic Integrity
Any attempt to malpractice — including using unauthorised material, impersonation, or AI-generated answers — leads to immediate cancellation of the paper and may result in debarment as per the Code of Conduct.
