The Examination System

There are three types of examinations/tests held in PES:

Class Assignments / Lab assignments

Normal assignments of around 20 marks, conducted in the class and written in blue books. 1 assignment is conducted for every unit, and the aggregate marks are considered for the final score.

INFO

There are lab exams for Physics, Chemistry, C and Python.

ISA (Internal Semester Assessment)

One of the most important assessments. Conducted in the assessment centre, it is a Computer-Based Test (CBT).

• There are 2 ISAs each having 2 units, and are for 20 marks, for 30 minutes.
• The timetable will be sent a week before, and the seating allotment is shown in the app on the day of the respective exam.
• Majority of the questions are MCQs and some of them are descriptive, for which the answers can be typed in the PC or written in the booklet.
• You can (usually) leave the exam centre as soon as you finish the exam.

ESA (End Semester Assessment)

• The final test of your bravery. It is a 100-mark examination for every subject.
• Written in the assessment centres, and seating allotment is given. Spans for 3 hours.
• Completely descriptive. You will be given an answer booklet for the exam.
• The questions are displayed on the PC, and you can either write the answers or type the answers.
• You can use a combination of both, for example type out an answer and draw a diagram.
• You can't leave the exam hall in the first 45 minutes, and the last 10 minutes of the exam.

TIP

Make sure to reach in time for the exam, with your hall ticket, because entry is restricted after 30 minutes of commencement of ESA.
