Assessment
Throughout the individual programmes, assessment methods at Skyline Business School
are designed to enable students to develop their own potential and permit a close working
relationship between the learning experience and individual assessment.

Aim of Assessment
The aim of the assessment is to test whether the student has achieved the stated learning
outcomes for the Programme as a whole and the specific unit in particular.

Principles
The assessment of the course is governed by a number of principles:

With the exception of the independent study, all units are normally assessed by a
combination of course work, assessment and formal examination weighted in each
unit generally at 50:50 though it may be changed from time to time and from course to
course
Each course work incorporates periodic tests, which will be part of the written unit and
therefore, prescribed at its commencement; each unit will also include deadlines for the
presentation of the course work
The Independent Study must be in an area that is relevant to the named Award.

Grading Policy
Marks Grade Grade Point Description
70 or above A 4 Very Good
60 - 69 B 3 Good
50 - 59 C 2 Average
40 - 49 D 1 Pass
Below 40 F 0 Fail

Those students attaining grade – ‘D’ or ‘F’ – are given an opportunity to improve their grade
within a stipulated period of time.

This grading policy may differ between courses.

13


Assessment Weightage
A typical assessment and attendance criteria may be as shown herewith.

Sr. Break-up of Weight Description
No. Evaluation Criteria
1. Attendance 10% Each class attended shall add 10% marks to the
final
2. Presentation/Case Study/ 10% Subject specific at the discretion of the faculty
3rd Int ernal examination
3. Internal Examination 1 15% Eg: If a student scores 80 in a 100 marks paper, it
would add 80% of 15 marks i.e. 12 marks to the
final score
4. Internal Examination 2 15% Eg: If a student scores 20 in a 50 marks paper, it
would add 20% of 15 marks i.e. 3 marks to the
final score
Total of Internal 50% This is the sum-total of all the internal assessments.
Assessment

assessments

The weightage given to each component may vary from course to course.

University.

14

Relevance of Academic Information Grading Policy
A student’s final course grade will be determined by consideration of the following factors:

1. Attendance: 75% attendance is compulsory for all courses. This facilitates interaction
with the instructor and fellow students as the highest level of learning is achieved by this
method. Students who do not have the requisite 75% attendance in each paper are barred
from the final examination of that unit.

2. Reading: Every student is expected to have thoroughly read and reviewed all reading
assignments from the required text or other reference material.

3. Discussion: Students must participate in regular classroom discussions as concepts are
cleared and fresh perspectives are formed.

4. Testing and Writing Projects: Students will complete online tests for online courses and
case studies for offline courses.

5. Assignments: Students complete group and individual assignments for the course. Group
projects inculcate team spirit.

6. Seminars: Students are expected to attend maximum number of seminars by guest faculty,
weekly quizzes, as well as seminars conducted outside where Skyline students are sent.
Attendance in external seminars leads to bonus points. All of these methods help students
in maximising their learning, particularly as they are able to see direct linkages between
theory and practice.

Skill Enhancement
Many students generally display limited skill sets. It has been Skyline’s endeavour to maximise
each student’s professional and social skills and prepare them for responsible positions at the
place of work. Management games bring out those areas which need most attention, among
them being communication (written, verbal and body language) personal presentations,
ability to work in teams, leadership and qualities of tolerance. HR experts also give training by
identifying attitudes as well as personal goals and drivers. In each semester, special emphasis
is also laid on corporate requirements and ability to understand each incumbency, face
competition and sustain positions, and an ability to stay updated in the changing environment
and stay ahead in knowledge of the relevant work area.

Mock interviews and group discussions are held/conducted to test whether the students have
been able to develop the skills that they initially lacked and later imbibed at the institute.
Students are also encouraged to participate in inter-college events in areas of professional
competence like business quizzes, paper presentations, business plans and advertising
events.

Students organise events on their own initiative and management with minimal support from
faculty. This develops their organisational skills while keeping the perspective of managing
within budgets.

From the Director’s Desk
Through these pages, we give you a glimpse of a student’s years at Skyline. A glimpse of the
expectations of students from us and our expectations from the students. Success undoubtedly
will be spelt out when both expectations match each other. Our success story has been
written by our students, who are now all over the globe. Students who are in organisations,
that know us through them and vice versa.

We have always believed that education must necessarily be a part of mainstream Business
and Corporate activity. While interacting with Corporates during their project and internships
we get immense insight into our students’ acceptability in the corporate sector, and whether
they have imbibed skills which will lead them through their course. As the pace of change
is unprecedented, the new world demands new skills and aptitudes. And this is our ultimate
vision. To see our students well equipped for the new world.

We invite those who wish to share our vision.

Praveen Puri
