University's Assessment Practices
At Chandigarh University, we believe that assessment is a crucial part of the learning process—not just a measure of what you’ve learned, but a way to enhance your educational journey and prepare you for the challenges of the real world. Our innovative assessment practices are designed to align with our commitment to personalized learning, ensuring that every student can thrive and reach their full potential.
Through a variety of engaging, practical, and reflective assessment methods, we aim to equip our students with the skills, knowledge, and mindset needed for success in their chosen fields.
Continuous feedback + final evaluation
Real-world engineering applications
Documentation of student achievements
Virtual labs and simulators for real-world problem-solving
Automated grading and objective evaluation. Implementing tools like Gradescope, Turnitin AI, and Eval.ai specifically adapted for engineering coursework assessment.
Assess verbal articulation of technical understanding
Critical thinking in collaborative settings
Track progress via LMS dashboards
Traditional theory-based exams are replaced with project demonstrations and code walkthroughs. Students build and showcase working solutions, explain logic, and defend their choices—just like in the real tech world.
Each major assessment includes:
Inspired by agile development practices, we allow iterative grading: students get feedback, revise, and resubmit their work. The focus is on learning through iteration, not one-shot grading.
Instead of just grades, students graduate with a live GitHub portfolio and documented projects that reflect their learning journey. These portfolios are reviewed during placements and even help in getting internships or publishing work.
Final-year and capstone projects are co-evaluated by industry experts, alumni, or startup mentors. This adds authenticity, improves industry alignment, and helps students get career-ready feedback early.

We at Chandigarh University believe that a comprehensive and quality assessment system is the way forward towards achieving academic excellence and professional competence in pharmacy education. Our student assessment system is aimed at tracking learning continuously, evaluating professional skills, and maintaining high academic standards.
We embrace a uniform pattern of ongoing student evaluation throughout the study period to maintain uniform learning and prompt identification of knowledge gaps. This supports personal development, facilitates classroom success, and augment conceptual knowledge.
Key Practices:
Our model of assessment allows us to independently and objectively measure learning in practice and theory, thus ensuring correct scientific knowledge and application.
Key Practices:
The assessment structure aligns with the graduate attributes and program-specific outcomes (PSOs) required in pharmacy education. The course outcomes are aligned with the assessment instruments in a systematic manner, allowing transparency and consistency of assessment of students' competency.
Key Practices:
For the purpose of ensuring fairness, objectivity, and academic integrity, Chandigarh University has a double appraisal mechanism comprising internal faculty members and external experts. This ensures credibility and standardization in appraisal procedures.
