The change in assessment pattern by the govt. has necessitated syllabi revision
Barely four days before degree colleges are set to open for the new academic year, syllabi are yet to be finalised. Colleges in Karnataka have been asked to resubmit their modified syllabus to their respective universities after the Department of Higher Education changed the assessment pattern earlier this week.
Initially, colleges were asked to change their syllabus for UG programmes in accordance with the National Education Policy (NEP) and submit it to the respective universities. But with the assessment pattern also changed, colleges that had submitted the revised syllabus have been instructed to re-submit it keeping in mind the revised regulations.
As per the new assessment pattern, 40% of the total marks have been allocated to internal assessment and 60% to end semester theory examination. However, for practical examinations, equal weightage will be given to the internal assessment and end-semester examinations.
