Examinations

St Xavier’s College spaces out its regular internal examinations through the academic year. There are two sets of tests (mid-term and first terminal) in the first term for each of the various courses that are taught. The schedule is posted on the notice board. The second terminal examination, which begins in the latter half of February, is of a three-hour duration on the pattern of the University examination, and includes the entire syllabus. The progress of students is evaluated on the basis of these examinations which are compulsory for all. The students’ internal evaluation marks are based on their performance at these tests and examinations, andon their class participation and attendance. These account for 30% of the marks required for passing the University Examination.



This is how the marks are calculated.

Rules
  1. There are “study-days” (no lectures/practicals) for a few days before
    the tests/exams. Students who drop lectures/practicals for exam
    preparation outside these days will have to face disciplinary action.
  2. The College does not hold any re-tests.
  3. Since the College test/exams are treated on par with the University examination system, those who remain absent for personal reasons (including sickness, travel, family problems, marriage, etc.) will forfeit their marks.
  4. Special arrangements will be made for those who cannot appear for a test/examination because of involvement in some activity concerning the College/University (e.g., playing a match, participating in a competition), provided they have the permission of the Principal.
  5. Any student found using unfair means at a College test/examination will receive a ‘zero’ in the respective paper and may be asked to leave the College in the following term/year.The penalties imposed by the discipline committee will be final and binding on the student. Students
    must not carry their personal belongings (books, notes, purse, mobile,
    etc.) into the exam hall. They must check their person, desks, seat
    surroundings before the exam to make sure that there is nothing to
    indicate an attempt at using “unfair” means.
  6. During an examination students are not permitted to leave the
    lecture-rooms. Any student leaving the College building will be
    considered to have completed the exam and will not be allowed to re-enter
    the building/examination hall.

    face disciplinary action.
