Rules & Regulations

As an institution affiliated to Anna University, MSAJCE adheres to the academic regulations (R-2021) to ensure the highest standards of education and assessment.

Attendance Requirements

A candidate must secure a minimum of 75% attendance in every course to be eligible to appear for the End Semester Examination.
Shortage of attendance up to 10% (i.e., 65% to 74%) may be condoned by the Principal on genuine medical grounds, subject to submission of a medical certificate.
Candidates with less than 65% attendance are not permitted to write the examination and must redo the course.

Note: Students who are "Prevented" due to lack of attendance will not be allowed to proceed to the subsequent semester.

Assessment Procedure

Performance in each course is evaluated based on:
1. Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA): 40% Weightage
2. End Semester Examination (ESE): 60% Weightage
Theory Courses: Internal marks are calculated based on 2 Assessment Tests and other assignments/activities.
Practical Courses: Evaluation is based on the day-to-day completion of experiments and a model practical exam.

Passing Requirements

To pass a course, a student must secure:
• Minimum 45% marks in the End Semester Examination.
• Minimum 50% marks in Total (Internal + End Semester combined).
If a student fails to secure a pass, they will be awarded a 'RA' (Reappearance) grade and must reappear for the exam in the subsequent semester.
Continuous Internal Assessment marks are valid for three attempts. After that, the student is assessed solely based on the End Semester Exam (100% weightage converted to 60/40 logic).
