System of evaluation
How each school assesses, from continuous assessment to co-evaluated capstones.
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.
Assessment by school
Open a school to read how it marks. 60 named methods across 7 schools.
- 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.”
