Like schoolchildren, first year engineering students will now have to be on their toes all the time as the University of Pune (UoP) has adopted the continuous assessment pattern for them from this academic year.
Besides, to encourage basic sciences, engineering chemistry and physics will now be independent subjects with 100 marks paper each. Thus, one semester would now be of 650 marks instead of 600. Students will be giving a test of 25 marks on the first two units after completion of the first month of teaching.

This online test paper will have objective type questions. The senior faculty of engineering department is preparing the questionnaire that will be submitted to Board of Studies (BOS) and later the varsity would randomly select the questions.
Engineering Graduation
Engineering faculty dean Gajanan Kharate told DNA, “The engineering students had the semester pattern having exams after the end of the 14-week semester.
“Hence, students used to learn only during the preparation leave. The new pattern will compel them to study from the first day of college. In the second month, the students will have to sit for 25-mark examination on third and fourth unit, and they will have to appear for 50-mark two-hour online test in the third month. Hence, a student will be assessed for one semester covering all six units.
An engineering faculty from a city college said, “The questionnaire comprises three levels. An average student can solve the easy level, try the medium level and the intelligent would attempt the difficult level. This pattern will force the students to study the theory since objectives are based on it unlike the descriptive questions that students used to easily mug up.
