Assessment Pattern

Main course


To encourage a continuous learning model, the weightage for class attendance, class participation, and surprise quizzes in the overall course is 50% (class participation to the extent of 25% and surprise quizzes of 25%). The remaining 50% would be split 20% for an in-class pre-announced examination and 30% for a pre-announced term end examination.

Examinations would test students' understanding of course contents, and their ability to make critical judgments rather than their ability to regurgitate class readings. MITLRA  follows relative grading system. Students in a class would be ranked based on the combined weighted average of the score obtained in class participation, surprise quizzes, attendance, pre announced in class examination, and term end examination.

Credit System


Education at the Institute is organized around the credit system of study. The prominent features of the credit system are process of continuous evaluation of a student’s performance, and a flexibility to allow a student to progress at an optimum pace suited to his/her ability or convenience subject to fulfilling minimum requirement for continuation. Each course has a certain number of credits, which describe its weightage. The number of credits that he/she has completed satisfactorily measures a student’s performance. A minimum Grade Point Average is required to be maintained for satisfactory progress. Also a minimum number of earned credits should be obtained In order to qualify for the degree.
