The concept of the seminar said higher education system in India is becoming one of the largest systems in the world. However, this expansion in quantity has overshadowed the quality of higher education. One of the most important components of higher education is the manner in which students’ academic performance is evaluated. A greet degree of diversity has been observed in terms of assessment and grading of students in the university system at present.
“It is desirable that a certain optimum degree of standardization in the examination system and in the assessment of students is put in place before grades/marks are awarded to them. These and related issues are the focal points of the seminar to be conducted in order to determine the best system of assessment to be followed by our university/board,” a concept note said.
