FINAL YEAR STUDENTS

Under this system, the University may allow students to write a project report/research paper for each paper of the final year or they may adopt a full proof method to double the internal marks of the semester exams already held for such year. In the case of students, who have not cleared all papers of previous years and are required to sit in the supplementary examination.
