The Continuous Assessment (CA) procedures apply to all elements of student assessment except final examinations. CA may include practical exercises, written assignments, projects, oral presentations, seminars/GD, and tests, depending on the programme of study. The function of continuous assessment is to facilitate student learning by:

1. Reinforcing and expanding students’ learning.
2. Measuring and certifying students’ learning.
3. Assessing the students’ practical application of course and its theoretical knowledge.
4. Providing feedback to students learning progress.
5. Counselling and motivating students to work throughout the programme.
6. Supporting diversity in learning styles among students.

CIE follows the aspects of Bloom’s taxonomy while framing the questions and problems in order to ensure the achievement of learning outcomes. Any special assessment requirements (content beyond syllabus) and assessment instruments will also be identified and specified.
