Performance Standards and Evaluation
System
1. The student is graded on per course outcomes basis. Cut off score =
60% of raw score
2. The student must pass at least 80% of all modules in order to pass the
course.
3. A student who failed to pass 80% of the requirements will be given a
chance to take removal examination for failed modules in a term after the
major exam.
4. The maximum equivalent grade for a removal examination is 75%.
5. Attendance and other student requirements is based on the approved
USA student manual and the COT Admission and Retention Policy.
6. Course Outcomes performance standard is 80% of the students must
pass all the modules.
Final Grade Evaluation System
Computation of Grade:

Modular Grade = Developmental Activities (40%) + Periodic Exam (60%)

Course Outcome Grade = ∑(Associated Modular Grades)/No. of Associated
Modules
Lecture Grade = ∑(Associated C.O. Grade x (C.O. Wt./Total Associated C.O. Wt.))
Term Grade = Lec Grade (75%) + Lab Grade (25%)

Final Rating = (Midterm Grade + Final Grade)/2

*C.O. Wt. – Course Outcome Weight is determined by the level of learning

according to Bloom’s Taxonomy
