  • A candidate obtaining less than 50% in more than two papers in any one semester is declared to have failed in that semester and shall not be permitted to proceed to the next semester. He / she will however, be eligible to repeat the same semester in the following year, by re-registering himself / herself in the next academic year and paying the course fees, as prescribed.
  • A candidate obtaining less than 50% marks in two or less than two papers in the first term (Semester) examination be permitted to attend the second term (Semester) of the first year, however, he/she will be required to pass in those respective papers (two or less) in the supplementary examination, which will be held at the end of first year, failing which he/she will not be permitted to proceed to third semester (in the second year of the M.M.S. degree course). Such supplementary examination can be held latest upto first week of July, as per individual institution’s convenience and students are expected to report at the campus for 2nd year (Semester III) latest by 15th July. Hence, supplementary examination can be held on or before first week of July and upon passing of which, they can resume third semester.
  • A candidate failing in two or less than two subjects in the first or second term (Semester) examination will be required to re-appear in the supplementary examinations to be held at the end of the first year, by the Institution conducting M.M.S. course. This supplementary examinations will be held (for the first and second term together) only once in the year, at the end of the year. Failure to pass in any one or more subjects in the supplementary examinations will disqualify the candidate from proceeding to second year as he/she will be declared as ‘fail’ and will be required to re-register for the first and or second term (semester) as the case may be in the next academic year.
  • In order to be eligible for admission to the third semester (in the second year), a candidate must have passed in all the papers of the first and the second semester examinations conducted by the Institution.
  • Third and Fourth semester examination for which assessment is done by the Institution (Internal assessment): A candidate failing into two or less than two subjects in the 3rd and 4th semester or both for which assessment is done by the Institution (Internal Assessment) will be required to appear in the supplementary examinations in the subjects. These supplementary examinations will be held by the Institution conduction the M.M.S. course, for the 3rd and 4th semester together, only once in a year at the end of the year.
  • Third and Fourth semester examination for which assessment is done by the University: At present, University Examinations are held once a year
    1. For Semester III in December
    2. For Semester IV in May. Student failing in any of the University papers has to wait for one year. Since these students get employed soon after Semester IV examination (i.e. by y1st June), it is suggested theSemester III examination. In other words, exams in respect of University Assessment subject also be held twice a year, instead of once, which will reduce waiting time of the students who have failed in the original exam by around 6 months. This will facilitate convenience of the students, who are employed immediately upon completion of M.M.S. programme. Details regarding minimum passing standard in respect of the subject covered under University Assessment (UA) – 60 marks and Internal Assessment (IA) – 40 marks is as follows:
      1. University Assessment 30 out of 60 50%
      2. Internal Assessment 20 out of 40 50%

(Consisting of (a) Mid Term Test, (b) Presentation, (c) Project, (d) Attendance) Total (a+b) Aggregate 50 out of 100 50% (This is to ensure that on par with all other subjects minimum aggregate passing standard is maintained i.e. @ 50% - 50 marks out of 100)
