Student centered learning, interactive lecture, group discussion and seminars, student’s presentation, case studies and projects, both library and field based research, industrial tour and excursion, and internship are extensively adopted to make teaching learning more effective and efficient.
Assessment of Learning and Grading System
Examination and Evaluation
The following weightage of marks are assigned to each of the examination: 40 percent weight for on-going semester examinations (class room activities, projects and assignments and class attendance) and 60 percent weight for semester-end examinations (case analysis, problem solving and concept oriented short answer questions).
The performance of students will be evaluated through ongoing in-semester evaluations and semester-end examinations. The FOM shall have the final authority in conducting, evaluating and awarding grades in semester-end examinations. The course facilitator (instructor) shall decide the grades in the in-semester evaluations. The in-semester (internal) evaluation shall generally have a total weight of 40 percent in each course. The concerned faculty shall be responsible for the continuous in-semester evaluations. The in-semester evaluation shall be based on a student’s performance in class presentations, case analysis, and project assignments, class tests and others as required by the course.

Grading System
The grading system followed in the MBM program will be based on the absolute performance of a student in the in-semester evaluations and semester-end examinations. The performance of a student in the MBM program shall be made on a four point scale ranging from 0 to 4. The passing grade in the semester-end examination for an individual paper shall be grade “B minus” or GPA of 2.70 (55 percent). In order to pass the semester examination the student must secure a minimum of Grade “B” or Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 3.0 (60 percent). The overall grade of a student will be determined by the student’s performance in the in-semester and semester-end examinations. The following table presents the Letter Grade, GPA, percentage equivalent and Performance Remarks for the MBM program:
| Grades | CGPA | % equivalent | Performance Remarks |
| A | 4.0 | 90 and Above | Distinction |
| A- | 3.7 | 80-89.99 | Distinction |
| B+ | 3.3 | 70-79.99 | First Division |
| B | 3.0 | 60-60.99 | Second Division |
