The Interview:
The interview will consist of Group Discussion and Personal Interview to be held by the selection committee.
- The topics for Group Discussion will be notified and a batch of 10 to 12 candidates will be discussing one topic given by the members of the committee. The discussion will take place under strict supervision and the student’s ability to express; to under stand the problem, to think clearly and to present systematically will be assessed.
- At the time of interview the selection committee will take into consideration normally the candidates academic qualifications as well as personal qualities, aptitude, interest, general knowledge and work experience in the field of management.
- The final selection will be strictly done on merit.
The committee after conduct of the group discussion and personal interview will prepare the final list of selected candidates.
I. DURATION:
The course of the study of the degree of Master in Environment Management shall be
full time course and its duration shall be of Two Years. The course consists of Four Semesters. The examination to be held in the First and Second Semester will be called Part – I (First Year) and the examination to be held in the Third and Fourth Semester will be called Part – II (Second Year).
If a candidate fails to clear all the Theory papers, Project report and Practical within Six years of his/her registration, the past performance will stand automatically nullified.
If a candidate discontinues any of the terms (i.e. Semester – I to IV) on any account, will be allowed to complete the incomplete terms in the subsequent years subject to it is within the stipulated time duration of Six years.
In addition to the above, once a student’s term (Semester) is granted, he/she shall be allowed to appear and pass in any of the subsequent examinations held, provided the examinations are within the stipulated period of Six years.
In case the term (Semester) is not granted the student has to seek fresh admission in the next year and complete the term and pass the examination. This too within Six years of his/her registration.
- Course Completion with Break in Between :
A student who has passed Master in Environment Management I and is seeking admission to Master in Environment Management – II after a long gap (Provided the gap lies within the stipulated duration of Six years) should complete the course syllabus which is in existence at the time he has sought the admission for the academic year
II. ASSESSMENT:
- For the paper (theory and practical) is of 100 marks, the distribution of marks will be
i) Internal Credit - 70 Marks
ii) Theory Paper - 30 Marks.
- There will be Project report of 200 marks in fourth semester
i) Assessment of the Project Report. 140 Marks.
ii) Oral Examination based on 60 Marks.
Project Report.
- The assessment of papers will be done by an Internal and External examiner. A difference of more than 20% in the marks awarded by these examiners would necessitate the valuation of these papers by the Third examiner. The ‘nearest’ marks will be considered for determining the average mark of such papers.
- The examiners should submit the marks on separate sheets supplied to them. No marks should be entered directly in the inside pages of the answer book.
- Once the Student passed in the internal marks ( Concurrent evaluation out of 30) and
submitted to the examination department, should be carried forward whenever
required.
- Students who failed in the internal marks ( Concurrent evaluation out of 30) in such
cases student should reappear for the same, then only the revised marks will be
considered further calculation.
III. STANDARD OF PASSING:
- Order to pass in a paper/head, a candidate will have to obtain 50% in the internal
marks (Concurrent evaluation), 40% marks in theory, and minimum of 50% of the
marks in aggregate in each paper head.
2. To pass the MEM examination, a candidate will have to pass in all Six Semester in
Two Parts i.e. Part – I (Semester r – I to II) and Part – II (Semester – III & IV )
3. To pass the Project work / Seminar course papers a candidate must obtain a minimum
of 50% of the total marks. If a candidate fails in the seminar / project report and its
viva-voce, he/she will be required to join the particular seminar / project report and its viva-voce as a fresh candidate in the subsequent year.
- A candidate from the first year MEM will be eligible to proceed to the Semester
IV, if he/she is not having more than 4 (four) papers backlog of the First Year (that
is Semester – I, II and III).
5 Semester Performance Index (SPI) will be as follows.
Grading System :
There shall be numerical marking for each course; which will be placed into credits. Each subject is given 4 credits. At the time of declaration of the result, the marks obtained by a student shall be converted into the grades as shown below.

IV. CALCULATION OF PERFORMANCE INDICES:
A distinction of the performance of one student from the other student is rather impossible to carry out from the grades obtained by a student in all the courses taken by him in a semester/year. Hence, the evaluation of various courses is cumulated in two performance indices termed as semester performance index (SPI) and cumulative performance index (CPI), the explanation of which is given below:
Semester Performance Index (SPI):
The performance of a student in a semester is indicated by a number called Semester Performance Index (SPI). SPI is the weighted average of all the grade points obtained by him in all the courses registered during the semester. If Gi is a grade with numerical equivalent as Gi obtained by a student for the course with credit Ci then, SPI for that semester is calculated using formula.
Where summation is for all the courses registered by a student in that Semester SPI is calculated to two decimal places and rounded off. SPI once calculated shall never be modified. Generally, for the students failed in regular examinations SPI is calculated only after the declaration of re-examination grades.
Cumulative Performance Index (CPI):
 An up-to-date assessment of the overall performance of a student from the first semester till completion of the programme is obtained by calculating an index called as Cumulative Performance Index (CPI). The CPI is weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the courses registered by a student since the first semester of the programme.
Besides SPI, CPI is also calculated at the end of every semester upto two decimal places and is rounded off. It is necessary to ensure that one course appears only once in calculation of CPI and the denominator in above equation does not exceed the total number of credits registered by him.
V. GRACE MARKS UNDER DIFFERENT ORDINANCE.
S.O. No. 1:-Grace Marks for Passing in each head of Passing (Theory/Practical/Oral/
Sessional/External/Internal)
The Examinee shall be given the benefit of grace marks only for passing in each head of Passing (Theory/Practical/Oral/Sessional/ in External /Internal examination as follows.

S.O. No. 3 Condonation
If a candidate fails in only one head of passing, having passed in all other heads of passing, his/her deficiency of marks in such head of passing may be condoned by not more that 1% at the aggregate marks of the examination or 10% of the total Number of marks of that of passing in which he/she is failing whenever is less. However condonation, whether in one head of passing or aggregate head of passing or aggregate head of passing be restricted to maximum upto 10 marks only.
Condonation of deficiency of marks be shown in the statement of Marks in the form of asterisk and Ordinance number
Provided further that this gracing is concurrent with the rules and guidelines of Professional statutory bodies at the All India level such as AICTE, MCI, Bar Council, CCIM,CCIII. NCTE, UGC etc..
VI VERIFICATION OF MARKS (Only Theory Papers)
