ABOUT EXAMINATIONS
The College follows a structured evaluation system that combines Continuous
Internal Assessment (CIA) and Semester-End Examinations (SEE), with a
weightage ratio of 40:60. This dual approach ensures ongoing academic
engagement and comprehensive end-term evaluation.
CIA consists of Weekly Tests which are organized by the concerned
departments through creative assessments, Assignments, Seminar/ Viva Voce
and Mid Semester examinations as part of Theory.
To have continuous assessment, two Mid semesters are conducted in a
semester. CIA consists of practical (laboratory work etc.) too. The students’
regularity, as indicated by attendance, will also be considered for CIA.
The SEE will be in the form of a comprehensive written examination for each
course at the end of the semester and most of the subjects have a practical
examination also.
The question papers for these examinations will be set by experts chosen
from outside the college and answer scripts will be evaluated by external
examiners.
Supplementary examinations will be conducted only at the end of even
semesters.
Message from the Controller of Examinations
Â
The Examination Branch at Loyola Academy is committed to fostering a robust, transparent, and student-centric assessment system that upholds the highest standards of academic integrity. Examinations are not merely a means of awarding grades; they are a structured process to evaluate the attainment of learning outcomes and the overall academic development of students.
Our vision is to design assessments that move beyond rote learning and meaningfully measure critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and the application of knowledge. By aligning examinations with clearly defined course and programme outcomes, we ensure that the evaluation process remains relevant, fair, and outcome-driven, while also serving as a valuable feedback mechanism for continuous academic improvement.
The Examination Branch remains dedicated to maintaining efficiency, accuracy, and confidentiality while adapting to the evolving needs of higher education, including outcome-based education, continuous assessment, technology-enabled evaluation, academic integrity, and the development of higher-order skills. Guided by the Ignatian vision of education, with its emphasis on holistic development and ethical practices, we strive to ensure an examination system that is rigorous, transparent, inclusive, and oriented towards academic excellence and the formation of competent graduates.
