Examination Policy of Malla Reddy Vishwavidyapeeth (Deemed to be University)

Malla Reddy Vishwavidyapeeth (MRV) implements a structured examination policy to uphold academic integrity and ensure fair assessment across its various programs.

An overview of the key components of the MRV examination policy is as follows:

Examination Framework

• Types of Examinations:
  • Internal Examinations: Conducted midway through the course to assess students’ understanding of the course material covered up to that point. Two internal examinations are conducted in a semester pattern, and three internal examinations for the annual pattern.
  • End Semester Examination: Held after each semester, evaluating the comprehensive knowledge gained throughout the term.
  • Annual Year-End Examination: Held after each academic year to assess the cumulative learning achieved throughout the academic period.
  • Clinical/Practical Assessment: For courses with clinical/practical components, assessments are conducted to evaluate hands-on skills and application of theoretical knowledge.
  • Open Book Examinations: Occasional Conduct of Internal Exams in the Open Book system, as per the discretion of the program co-ordinator, to enhance analytical and critical thinking skills.
  • Student Assessment (as part of the Lesson Plan): Continuous evaluation based on class participation, assignments, quizzes, and other academic activities.
  • All above assessments will be taken up and documented as per NEP 2020 Guidelines and as per the respective SRA Guidelines for the applicable Programs.

  • Students should have completed the required study period, attendance requirements, and have passed internal assessments.
  • Students must submit a no-dues certificate from the concerned Dean in order to be eligible to attend the University examinations.

• Bloom’s Taxonomy Alignment: Question papers will be designed to cover multiple cognitive levels — remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating — to encourage higher-order thinking.
• Competency-Based Evaluation: Assessment will emphasize skills and competencies rather than rote memorization. Question banks will be prepared with mapped course outcomes.
• Outcome-Based Education (OBE) Integration: Internal and external assessments must demonstrate alignment with Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) and Program Outcomes (POs).
• Skill-Based and Experiential Assessment: Wherever applicable, skill-based tests, simulations, and case-based questions will be introduced to evaluate applied knowledge.
• Digital Integrity Measures: Use of plagiarism detection tools and online proctored systems will be mandatory for project-based and online submissions.
• A continuous evaluation system with a 30% weightage to formative assessments (assignments, presentations, quizzes) and 70% to summative assessments will be adopted.
• Inclusive Assessment: Provisions will be ensured for students with disabilities, including extra time and alternative formats of evaluation.
