As the college is affiliated to Assam University, it has the bindings to follow the examination system prescribed by the University. The semester and Annual system in degree level is existing in this college. The college also regularly evaluates students through unit test (twice) through innovative practices (seminar, assignment, group discussion) and pre-final test for improving the results in final examination. Being affiliated to Assam University, the college follows the examination pattern followed by the University. From last three years the University introduced semester system in degree level along with existing annual system. However, the college evaluates the students continuously through mid- term and pre- final tests for improving results in the annual examinations. Formative evaluation takes place during the course to determine whether proper learning is taking place by the teacher of the respective department. It provides feedback to the learners as well as the teachers. The college follows the system of consultation with the individual student and his/her guardian after terminal examination so that the strength and weaknesses can be pointed out for better performance in the subsequent final examinations. In the process of performance discussion by the faculty members with the students, whatever shortcomings, mistakes improper and incorrect answers observed are brought to the notice of the students. Correspondingly, the faculty members clarify the queries and doubts raised by the students to the satisfaction of the students. This process of evaluation of the students and discussion of their performance followed by the faculty members thereafter bring an improvement in the quality of answer on the one hand and a change in the student’ personality on the other.

Internal Evaluation Cell of the College monitors the academic progress of the students throughout the academic session. As both students and their parents are the stakeholders, of Higher Education so, through this system parents can be informed about the day to day progress of their ward. This process of involvement of parents helps to accelerate the performance of the students.

IQAC of the college is the nodal body for monitoring and enhancing the awareness of all the activities which directly or indirectly fall under students support services. IQAC monitors the activities of different Cells and Committees which support the students in academic and co-curricular activities. The different committees and cells like the Students’ Welfare Amenities Cell which looks after the benefit of the poor students of the college, the Internal Evaluation Cell which looks after the progression of the students, the Library Committee which looks after the Library Services meant for the students in their academic activities, Career Counseling Cell which provides guidance on career issues, Students’ Health Care Centre which looks after the health of the students, Co-curricular Activities Cell which promotes the co-curricular aspects of the students, etc. are some of the cells which under the aegis of IQAC help to provide support for academic and overall development of the students. The IQAC in its effort to enhance the awareness of these services holds Awareness Programmes and Guest Lectures from different cells besides regular announcements through Notice Board, Prospectus, College Magazine, Orientation Programmes, etc.

The college is continuously making untiring efforts to track the progression of the students in the academic field. In each academic year the college holds several types of tests and tasks for the students of all courses to evaluate their performances. Attendance and participation in all the tests is compulsory and successful students will be sent for final examination. The different types of tests conducted by the college include unit test, seminars, assignment, projects etc. The unit tests are a powerful tool for continuous evaluation and assessment of the students’ progress. A unit test is taken on completion of teaching of certain number of units/chapters of the course. Assignments, project works, seminars, group discussions are undertaken compulsorily for the students of honours course. The college strictly checks the attendance of the students attending the lectures of respective classes. Students attending less than 75% of lectures are not allowed to sit for the final Examinations of the University or Council. Besides these, a guardians’ meet is arranged by the college after each unit test to discuss the progression of each student with their guardians. It may also be mentioned here that the Teaching Plan as chalked out at the beginning of the academic session is maintained strictly throughout the year, which further contributes to the academic performance and progression of the students.
