Rules regarding Assessment/Submissions in the end of the Semester Examinations:

As the B.F.A course is a completely practical oriented professional course, it is absolutely essential, that
the student should have a minimum of 75% of attendance, As per Andhra University rules
Failing which he/she would not be allowed to sit in the examination. The students have to clear all the
papers of 1st semester before entering the 3rd semester (by the end of 2nd semester). The students who
could not attend all papers would be detained in the same semester. Students who attend at least one paper
of the semester would be promoted to the next semester, and given chance to complete the previous
semester along with the current semester evaluation.
As the growth and the overall performance of the student is necessary to evaluate his/her performance in
an academic year it is being proposed that 20% of the total marks in the regular classes and 80% of the
marks would be from the particular semester examination/Submissions and Assessment.
Candidates appearing for their semester examination would display their examination work along with
selected body of class and studio assignment work in the examination hall or their studios in the faculty
premises. The Examiners (External and Internal) will evaluate their performance on the basis of these
classes (Studio assignment work and examination work) in order to arrive at a final evaluation of the
performance of the each candidate.
