Grading Policy

Grade assessment is based upon- Attendance (10%), Assignment (20%), Final exam (70%).
All the assignments must to be handed over before the due dates. Late submission will face a penalty of 20% for each delayed week. If the assignments are found to be copied (among student/from internet) it will be graded as zero.
