Assessment combines Continuous Assessment (40%) and End-of-Semester Examinations (60%). Continuous assessment includes quizzes and class tests, individual and group assignments, fieldwork reports and practical exercises, seminar presentations, projects and case studies. The end of semester examination evaluates both theoretical and applied knowledge. Field practical training and research projects are assessed through logbooks, supervisor evaluations, and final reports to ensure graduates demonstrate practical readiness.
