Assessment practices

  • No Exams—Only Demos

    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. “Your code is your score.”

  • Code. Pitch. Reflect.

    • Code submission
    • Pitch presentation to faculty/peers/industry
    • Reflective review on what was learned and what failed This 360-degree model mirrors how tech teams evaluate work in top startups and R&D labs.
  • Fail Fast, Improve Faster

    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. “Mistakes are milestones here.”

  • Portfolio over Percentage

    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. “Your profile is your performance.”

  • Industry-Co-Evaluated Projects

    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. “Get reviewed by those who hire.”

Message from the Head of Department

Dr. Charanjeet Singh
Dr. Charanjeet SinghDean Engineering and Computing

Engineering has always been about turning an idea into something that works. That could be a bridge, a machine, an electronic system, a manufacturing process, or a technology that solves an everyday problem.

At the School of Engineering, our focus is to give students the opportunity to experience this process themselves. We want students to spend time in laboratories, work on projects, understand how things work, interact with industry, and learn from practical experience—not just prepare for examinations.

I also believe that an engineering degree should help students become independent thinkers. There will be problems for which there is no ready-made answer. Learning how to approach such problems with patience, creativity, and confidence is an important part of becoming an engineer.

Our faculty will work closely with students to develop their technical abilities while also encouraging teamwork, communication and professional responsibility. My message to our students is simple: stay curious, keep experimenting, and never be afraid to ask why.
