Manipal University Jaipur’s online degree programmes focus on self-paced learning driven by video lectures and self-learning material such as reading material, e-books, quizzes, and assignments. This is augmented by live online lectures (webinars) where students can interact directly with the faculty.

After admission is confirmed by the university, students will receive access to the Learning Management System (LMS), student portal and e-library, along with the user ID and password. Students can then start accessing the course material and begin their learning journey.

Students will be assigned dedicated course mentors and coordinators to guide them in their journey at Manipal University Jaipur. They can be contacted to clarify doubts using discussion forums, instant messaging, and email on the Learning Management System (LMS). Students can also interact with course coordinators during live webinars.

Students are expected to spend at least 15-20 hours per week watching concept videos, reading learning material, attempting quizzes, and attending live webinars.

All the programmes have projects but the number of projects varies from programme to programme. Kindly refer to the structure of the respective programmes (given in the admission brochure).

Each subject will have at least one mandatory assignment. This will be a graded assignment, and the student’s response will count towards their final marks.

Offline and live sessions are mandatory. To be eligible to appear for the final exams, students are required to go through at least 75% of the offline content (reading material and video lectures).

The assessment system has been conceived, developed and administered on a rigorous and fair basis to bring out the best in students and prepare them for a successful career. A student’s performance evaluation will be based on both continuous assessment (CA) and term-end examinations (TEE).

Theory Papers

The theory part is assessed by the performance based on continuous assessment (CA) through assignments and term-end examinations (TEE). The assessment ratios of term-end examinations (TEE) to continuous assessment (CA) is 70:30. CA is based on assignments prepared by the University. Term-end examinations (TEE) will comprise descriptive and multiple-choice type questions.

A student must score at least 40% in each continuous assessment and term-end examination to be declared as having passed.

Practical Papers (as applicable)

The assessment in the practical part is based on performance in guided exercises (i.e., day-to-day exercises) and unguided exercises. The latter will be conducted on the last day of the practical sessions in each subject with an external examiner. The assessment ratio for term-end examinations (TEE) to continuous assessment (CA) is 30:70.

A student must score at least 40% in both the parts to be declared as having passed.

The University term-end examination (TEE) will be held digitally viz. computer-based and online proctored. Candidates can appear for the exams from the comfort of their homes. A laptop or desktop computer with a functioning webcam connected to the internet is required to appear for the exams. The details of the examination schedule will be made available in the photo admit card issued for appearing in the term-end theory examinations. Eligible students will be given admit cards to appear in the term-end examination. Students will have to produce the identity card and admit card to appear in the term-end examinations (TEE). The examination pattern is available in the programme guide provided to students.
