Evaluation

All courses are conducted and evaluated in a continuous & internal manner by the faculty who teach these courses. The student

registers for a certain number of courses each semester; the year being divided into two semesters, and a summer term, whenever

offered. A faculty member, as registration advisor, helps a student to draw up his programme, suitable to his pace and needs, which ismade possible by the course-wise time-table of the Institute. It is the responsibility of the student to attend classes regularly and to

maintain the required level of scholastic standing (Please refer to the Attendance Charter).

Assessment

The performance of a student in each course is assessed by the teacher by means of continuous evaluation throughout the semester in

class work, periodical quizzes, tests (sometimes unannounced), tutorials, home work, projects, etc. and a comprehensive examination

at the end of the semester. The student is thereby given a large number of opportunities to prove himself and be evaluated. The system

encourages and rewards continuous and systematic study. It provides constant feedback to the student as to where he stands, thus

enabling him to cultivate regular habits of studying / learning and preparing himself for the future.

Unusual methods of evaluation have been evolved in the Practice School courses to take account of certain traits which do not surface

in classroom education, like professional judgement, decision-making ability, interdisciplinary approach, initiative, leadership, senseof responsibility, etc.

Grading

The system discards the conventional emphasis on a single final examination and numerical marks as the only absolute indication of

the quality of a student's performance. Thus, at the end of the semester the teacher of the course awards letter grades A, B, C, F to the

student based on the total performance of the student and it is relative to the performance of others taking the same course. These letter

grades stand for quality performance : A-Excellent, B-Good, C-Fair and F- Fail.

Further, these letter grades have points associated with them in a quantified hierarchy. There are also courses in which the teacher

awards non-letter grades which have only a qualitative hierarchy. The teacher may also pronounce the performance of a student in a

course in terms of certain reports which should not be misconstrued as grades.

The Institute, being fully residential with an internal and continuous evaluation system, expects every student to be responsible forregular attendance in classrooms, to appear in scheduled tests and examinations and to fulfil all other tasks assigned to him in every

course. The system has adequate resilience to accommodate unforeseen situations through withdrawal from a course, mock-up tests,

feedback from examinations and interaction with teachers. When, in spite of all these facilities, a student fails to co-operate with the

teacher in the discharge of his part of the contract to such an extent that the teacher is unable to award any grade, the teacher is

authorized to give a F (FAIL) report.

A student is deemed to have cleared a course if he obtains a grade in the course. However the educational philosophy of the Institute

interlinks and at the same time distinguishes between the performance of a student in a single course and his overall cumulative

performance. The overall performance of a student is indicated by an index known as the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).

It is the weighted average of the grade points of all the letter grades received by the student since his entry into the Institute and is

expressed on a 10-point scale.

During the student's stay in the Institute, the Institute expects him to show certain minimum performance and progress. The minimum

academic requirement is regarding the performance and progress for the Integrated programme is :

A CGPA of at least 4.5 at the end of every semester.

Not more than one C grade in a semester is allowed for integrated programmes.

Students who fail to meet the minimum academic requirements stipulated above are put under an appropriate committee which

monitors their programmes and gives guidance so that they are properly rehabilitated at the earliest. This is done by Academic

Counseling Board (ACB) which is appointed by the Senate and is given authority to take appropriate action including discontinuance

of the student.

We take all academic misconduct extremely seriously and investigate all alleged offences of cheating in assessed work and

Unauthorized Material

The act of bringing unauthorized material (written, printed or in any other format) into the examination room; communicating with,

receiving assistance from, copying from or providing assistance to another candidate during an examination; removing examination

books or worksheets from the examination room. If the Institute finds a student to be in breach of discipline by having cheated in

assessed work and/or examinations, it has the discretion to apply a range of penalties, ranging from nullification of module results up

to suspension or expulsion from the Institute. The standard penalty applied is to make null and void all assessments undertaken during

the relevant semester. We understand that students may not be fully aware of the issues surrounding academic misconduct. It is

therefore important that students inform themselves of these issues and seek the advice of staff faculty support service as soon as any

problems arise. The consequences of misconduct in examinations and all other forms of assessment are severe and may result in allassessments undertaken at the relevant subject being made null and void.

Copying

Copying the work of others, including that of other students in the class or group, is an indication of unfair means whereby one person

gains credit for the work undertaken by another. Where an element of reproduction is a desirable element of an assessment, as might

be the case in a group project or presentation, the instructions for the assessed work will specify the extent to which such reproduction is

permissible. The extent of legitimate reproduction must be acknowledged by a student within their work. Students are advised to check

the rest of their work to ensure that it is their own. Working with other students in informal study groups is a desirable part of the

academic experience but students must ensure that the work that is finally submitted is theirs and not that of anyone else. Students

should keep copies of material such as working notes, or sketches of diagrams or drafts of essays that show that the work and its

source has been acknowledged and identified.

Plagiarism

As the consequences of misconduct in examinations and all other forms of assessment are severe, the Student Guide to Plagiarism can

be found at the end of Part B, prior to the Appendices.

Note on Detection of Plagiarism

College may require 'student work' to be submitted for checking using plagiarism detection software. This is intended to assist students

in identifying possible plagiarism in course work submitted for assessment which could otherwise result in disciplinary action against

students.

Collusion

Collusion involves an agreement to deceive. This means that more than one person is involved in the deception. An accusation of

collusion may be added to an accusation of copying if there is clear evidence of the involvement of each party. Students should be

extremely careful about lending their completed work to other persons. Students may think that they are helping others to meet a

deadline in lending their work to others but it may result in problems if other students copy a student's work without informing them.

What starts out as a supportive action may carry the risk of an accusation of collusion.

Examination Rules and Regulations

Passing in all the examinations is a must. Any student having backlog (s) will not be allowed to appear for campus placement facility as

the companies don't want to consider students with backlogs. Students, having any backlog, should appear in the examination being

held for the juniors, to clear the same. The management is seriously considering a proposal to classify the students according to their

marks and allow them to appear before selected companies according to their standards, as exhibited by their performance, for

campus placements.

learning and industry requirements. Therefore as a part of student development programme we have tied up with the Xed Intellect, an

innovative online learning solution provider to enhance students learning and performance, and thereby creating areas of excellence.

Online Business Quizzes

those who secure more than 60% marks in all the quizzes.

Objective of Bizquiz

Inculcate a reading habit of business newspapers among students to sharpen their business acumen.

Why Current Business Awareness?

Students undergoing a rigorous 2-year MBA Program, spend majority of the time in classroom training, assignments and projects. In

the spare time, they are generally engaged in extra-curricular activities. Therefore, students rarely get time to update themselves on day

to day business news. Moreover, Indian education system (primary, secondary and graduation) is designed in such a way, that nowhere

students develop a habit of reading business newspapers. However, being daily updated about business affairs is a requirement of

every job and unless students develop this habit, they will struggle to outstandingly perform in their respective careers.Salient Features of Bizquiz

Weekly / Fortnightly Business Awareness Quiz throughout the year

News covered from leading business newspapers like Economic Times, Business Standard, DNA Money, Financial Express, Wall Street

Journal etc.

emphasis on reasoning based news.

Domain (Functional Subject) Quizzes

As a part of continuous evaluation process students will also be judged on the basis of their functional (Finance, HR, Marketing,

Operations, IT & International Business) knowledge base. Through Online Assessment System (OAS) we will evaluate each student as

how much he/she has learnt the subject in detail and do they have clear understanding about subject fundamentals. Securing 70%

marks in the functional subjects is a must. At the time of final academic evaluation 5% of bonus marks will be awarded to all those who

The Technique

Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. It was rediscovered byGautam Buddha more than 2500 years ago and was taught by him as a universal remedy for universal ills.

This non-sectarian technique aims for the total eradication of mental impurities and the resultant highest happiness of full liberation.Healing, not merely the curing of diseases, but the essential healing of human suffering, is its purpose.

Vipassana is a way of self-transformation through self-observation. It focuses on the deep interconnection between mind and body,which can be experienced directly by disciplined attention to the physical sensations that form the life of the body, and that continuouslyinterconnect and condition the life of the mind. It is this observation-based, self-exploratory journey to the common root of mind andbody that dissolves mental impurity, resulting in a balanced mind full of love and compassion.

The scientific laws that operate one's thoughts, feelings, judgements and sensations become clear. Through direct experience, thenature of how one grows or regresses, how one produces suffering or frees oneself from suffering is understood. Life becomescharacterized by increased awareness, non-delusion, self-control and peace.

The Tradition

Since the time of Buddha, Vipassana has been handed down, to the present day, by an unbroken chain of teachers. Although Indian bydescent, the current teacher in this chain, Mr. S.N. Goenka, was born and raised in Burma (Myanmar). While living there he had thegood fortune to learn Vipassana from his teacher, Sayagyi U Ba Khin who was at the time a high Government official. After receivingtraining from his teacher for fourteen years, Mr. Goenka settled in India and began teaching Vipassana in 1969. Since then he hastaught tens of thousands of people of all races and all religions in both the East and West. In 1982 he began to appoint assistantteachers to help him meet the growing demand for Vipassana courses.

The Courses

The technique is taught at ten-day residential courses during which participants follow a prescribed Code of Discipline, learn the basics

of the method, and practice sufficiently to experience its beneficial results.

The course requires hard, serious work. There are three steps to the training.

The first step is, for the period of the course, to abstain from killing, stealing, sexual activity, speaking falsely, and intoxicants. Thissimple code of moral conduct serves to calm the mind, which otherwise would be too agitated to perform the task of self-observation.The next step is to develop some mastery over the mind by learning to fix one's attention on the natural reality of the ever changing flowof breath as it enters and leaves the nostrils. By the fourth day the mind is calmer and more focussed, better able to undertake thepractice of Vipassana itself: observing sensations throughout the body, understanding their nature, and developing equanimity bylearning not to react to them.

Finally, on the last full day participants learn the meditation of loving kindness or goodwill towards all, in which the purity developedduring the course is shared with all beings.

The results come gradually through continued practice. It is unrealistic to expect all problems to be solved in ten days. Within that time,however, the essentials of Vipassana can be learned so that it can be applied in daily life. The more the technique is practised, thegreater the freedom from misery, and the closer the approach to the ultimate goal of full liberation. Even ten days can provide resultswhich are vivid and obviously beneficial in everyday life. The entire practice is actually a mental training. Just as we use physicalexercises to improve our bodily health, Vipassana can be used to develop a healthy mind. Because it has been found to be genuinelyhelpful, great emphasis is put on preserving the technique in its original, authentic form.

The course is compulsory for all the students studying at FMS- Pune without any exceptions whatsoever. Students with

psychological disorders and those who feel can not be a part of team should refrain taking admission in our college.

All those who try it will find Vipassana to be an invaluable tool with which to achieve and share real happiness with others.

We plan to hold our training /classes for 365 days in a year .We are also likely to hold periodic examinations from 0800 Hrs. to 2300

Hrs. at least once in a week. We DO NOT believe in the concept of holidays. Because industry does not function on clock basis, the

Manager is required to function round the clock. It should be noted that we are more of a training establishment than a conventional

management institute. Each and every class is critical for continuous learning. Therefore NO request on medical grounds forexemption from attendance will be accepted.

A Full - Time course Student should have no work except attending the classes. They can not and should not have any other priority or

occupation. It is a costly course, which the parents have paid with a lot of pain and expectation. A good student should therefore attend

100% classes.

However assuming that some students may have some genuine problems, a minimum of 80% of attendance is compulsory per

semester. Those students who have 80% of attendance are considered as 'Average' students by us and are not fielded for campus

placements in the initial phase of our campus placement. The approach here is that these are the weaker lot of our batch as they have

not received the full training because of their absence from classes.

Students should maintain 90% attendance and above in the interest of their growth and development. Very Senior Faculty are teachingin our Institute. It must be noted the stress on attendance is directly linked to learning and equipping to become successful managers.

Attending classes regularly is in itself a big mind conditioning exercise. This shows students' commitment towards building their

corporate career. Therefore, we feel that there is a need to treat and reward different kinds of students with different percentages of

attendance differently as under:

a) Those who maintain 95% and above of the attendance will be awarded an attendance incentive marks which shall be 5% per subject

per semester. The attendance will be calculated per semester.

b) Only those with 90% and above of attendance for the three consecutive semesters may be allowed to sit for the first 10 Companies. It

should be noted that it is not a punitive action; however, it is a way to reward students with high attendance.

c) Those who fail to maintain 80% of attendance in each semester will be placed in a RED LIST which means they may not be allowed toappear in the examination and avail the campus placement facility.

No reason, including proven medical certification, will be accepted as the student would have missed the learning /grooming process.

This can't be made up if a student remains absent from class beyond permissible limits . Please note that we are a professional Institute

and you will be going through professional training without which one can't survive in the industry. It is just not a matter of academics

and passing the examinations. It is a matter of acquiring relevant skills, competence, knowledge and attitude required to become a

successful manager. It should also be noted that there is a difference between a Full Time regular course and a Distance Learning

programme. Students with lesser percentages of attendance cannot be a part of any full time programme.

d) No one, including the Director, is empowered to grant attendance on medical ground or on any other ground, as one who is not

physically present or involved in academic activity can't be marked PRESENT in the class as it will be illegal. Only those who are present

in the class or involved in academic activity under the directions of the Dean/Director will get attendance. However, any one havingany medical problem should promptly avail medical assistance and those who have urgent family commitments can also visit their

family. We, as an Institute, cannot restrict the movement of the Students. However,WE DON'T HAVE ANY SYSTEM OF LEAVE WITH

ATTENDANCE !

Now it is up to you where you want to stand. You have the choice to obtain any kind of percentage of attendance and to avail the

advantages or disadvantages. Having categorically stated the portion well before your admission we will be unable to entertain any

request from you on the matter at a later date. You should, therefore, aim at 100% attendance and not 80% attendance. Please note

you do have a choice not to accept the offer of admission. However, this should not disturb you as the permissible limit of absence is

20% in each semester and if one calculates the total days on which one can legitimately be absent from the classes on account of

sickness or other contingencies it will be more than 20 days in a year, provided they attend classes regularly from day one. Absenting

from classes for casual reasons or due to carelessness cannot be justified at all. Students are, therefore advised to save attendance, as

one saves money, so that a certain portion can be spent as and when needed, painlessly on medical ground.
