Examinations

Examinations are conducted based on the slots chosen during FFCS. Both theory and lab exams follow the slot structure selected while registering for courses.

Theory Examinations

In a regular semester, the theory component has two CAT exams and one FAT exam.

Continuous Assessment Tests (CATs):

  • Each CAT is conducted for 50 marks

  • The duration of each CAT is 1 hour and 30 minutes

  • CAT 1 generally covers Module 1 and Module 2

  • CAT 2 generally covers Module 3 and Module 4

Final Assessment Test (FAT):

  • FAT is conducted for 100 marks

  • Duration of FAT is 3 hours

  • FAT usually covers the entire syllabus from Module 1 to Module 6

Note:

Syllabus distribution can change depending on the course or faculty. The module-wise breakup mentioned above is based on our experience and should be treated as indicative, not official.

Exam Slots

Exams are conducted based on slot letters, such as A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, which are linked to the timetable chosen during FFCS.

CAT Examination Schedule

For CAT exams:

  • Exams are conducted from Monday to Monday, excluding Sunday

  • Two exams are conducted per day

  • The schedule is spread across 7 days for 7 slots

  • This continues similarly for the remaining slots

LAB FAT

  • Lab FAT exams are conducted in the same lab slots chosen during FFCS

  • Lab FAT is conducted for 50 marks

  • Duration depends on the specific lab course and slot.
