 Each 3 credits course will require a minimum of 45 class lectures per semester (3 lectures per week), and each semester is six months in duration. Each semester will consist of about 21 weeks, in which 17 weeks will be kept for class lectures and 1 week for a re-examination break, and 3 weeks for examination. The duration of the class lecture should not be less than 50 minutes. The teacher assigned to a particular course should plan the lectures accordingly keeping in view the course content to match the available working days excluding holidays. The students are allowed 3 months after their final examination to complete and submit their internship report.

Every student of THM program must attend at least 75% of class lectures to quality for sitting in the semester final examinations. Students having less than 75% attendance but more than 60% canbe allowed to sit in the examination as non-collegiate students. Rules applicable for non-collegiate students will be applied to them.

The result of a THM student will be determined on the basis of grade points on a scale of 4.00

points along with letter grades. However, to determine the letter grade/grade point, the following

range of marks will be considered.

a)  Promotion: Results of two semesters in each academic year will be calculated for promotion to next year (1st year to 2nd year). The student must appear at the semester final examination in all courses and pass at least 80 % of the total courses, for example, 8 (eight) out of 10 (ten) courses with a grade of D or above. Same rules will be applicable for the examination to the subsequent year is 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th year.

b)  Improvement: A student receiving F grade in one or more courses must attend the improvement examination (s) in subsequent semesters. A student will be given two chances to convert F grade up to B plus. If the student receives a countable grade in his/her first attempt, no further attempt will be allowed. A student receiving C or D grade in one or more courses will get one more opportunity for the improvement in the consecutive semester. In this case, he/she can improve the grade up to the achievement. However, in any case, students will not be allowed to sit for the improvement exam for more than two courses in a semester. Improvement rules will not be applied for in-course, oral (viva voce) and internship grades in any circumstances.

c)  Drop Out: If any student fails to qualify for the degree within the seven academic years including internship (report and defence), he/she will automatically be dropped from the program.
