GUIDELINES OF PBI EVALUATION

1. Each PBI will fall under one of the groups - ECE, ME, CSE and Interdisciplinary depending on the topic of the PBI. The Internship Board (IB) will classify the PBI group before the mid semester evaluation. For end semester evaluation, four committees will be constituted by IB after the mid semester evaluation within a week. The PBI guide of a student will not be a member of the evaluation committee. In case a students PBI falls under a group which is going to be evaluated by a committee having his PBI guide, the guide will be replaced by another faculty member/ external expert. 2. Student is required to submit a progress report to supervisor(s) (internal and/or external) and to the academic office in 15 days interval after starting of project in addition to the reviews mentioned above. 3. Students will be required to submit a copy of the mid semester PBI Report to each member of the evaluation committee within a week from the date of constitution of evaluation committees. 4. There will be four evaluations during the entire PBI period, first interim, mid semester, second interim and end semester. The guides will award interim and mid-term grades to the academic office as per the format attached and the grading will be as follows: Excellent (A), Good (B), Average(C), Satisfactory (D), Unsatisfactory (F) 5. The final grading will be awarded by the evaluation committees and will be duly forwarded by the IB to the Academic Office. The Chairman, IB will be responsible for submission of the grades to the academic office. 6. The evaluation committees will evaluate the projects based on the presentation made by the students and final project report, which should be made available to them at least one week before the end semester evaluation. The students will be required to submit two hard copies of the project report in the academic office with softcopies to each of the member of evaluation committee. 7. After evaluation of the project, the committee will review the grades submitted by the PBI guide and will award the grade in the end semester evaluation in congruence to the final evaluation. Accordingly, evaluation committee will review the grades and will award either one grade higher or one grade lower to the students based on the average grade obtained by the student in the three previous evaluations. The grades will be awarded as per the following guideline. A+ or A for average grade A B+ or B for average grade B C+ or C for average grade C D+ or D for average grade D No change in grade for average grade F However, grades may be lowered in exceptional cases with reasons to be specified by the committee members. At this point members opined that the spirit of recognition to the work and encouragement be maintained while awarding the grades. The grades awarded by the committee will be final and will be binding on the students and the PBI guides. Also, it was suggested by the senate that the PBI reports would be archived.
