Programme Assessment

  • Choice-Based Credit System (CBCS): The university follows CBCS, which allows students to choose courses and earn credits based on their performance
  • Grades and GPA: Students are awarded grades for each course in a semester, and their Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) is calculated to measure their academic performance. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is used to evaluate the overall performance of a student across all semesters.
  • Prescribed Curriculum: Each program has a prescribed curriculum or Scheme of Teaching and Evaluation, which includes the required courses, laboratories, and other degree requirements. It also incorporates SWAYAM and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offered by reputed institutions.
  • Auditing Courses: Students have the option to audit courses, which allows them to gain additional exposure without the pressure of obtaining a grade. This can give them an advantage in placements.
  • Evaluation System: The evaluation of students is comprehensive and continuous throughout the semester. It consists of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) and Semester End Examination (SEE). CIE and SEE carry equal weightage of 50% each, resulting in a total evaluation of 100 marks for each course, regardless of its credit value.
  • Assessment Methods: Before each semester, faculty members may choose assessment methods such as assignments, seminars, quizzes, group discussions, case studies, practical activities, class presentations, industry reports, etc., with suitable weightage for each.
  • Semester End Examination: A Semester End Examination is conducted for all registered courses at the end of each semester. However, some courses that already have Continuous Internal Evaluation may not require a SEE. Makeup Examinations: Students who fail the Semester End Examination in one or more courses are eligible for makeup examinations, which provide an opportunity to retake the failed exams and improve their grades.

Yes, the BTech course at CMR University provides students with practical training and internship opportunities as part of the curriculum.

Computer engineering focuses on the hardware and software development of the system, whereas Information Technology keeps the systems that were built by somebody else running. When it comes to degree comparison, a Computer engineering degree is more hard-earned than an Information Technology degree. In CE, you will learn about the different OS, database management, programming languages, etc. Information Technology mostly covers networking and a few specializations overlapping CE.

Information Technology has seen a paradigm shift in recent years, especially with the move of the world toward a digital era. The demand for IT professionals is seeing an upward trend. There are several specializations available under Information Technology. A few of them are enlisted below:
