24. Academic Evaluation
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 is
made 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, sense
of 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 for
regular 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 :
?of at least 4.5 at the end of every semester.
A CGPA
? than one C grade in a semester is allowed for integrated programmes.
Not more
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.

25. Academic Conduct
We take all academic misconduct extremely seriously and investigate all alleged offences of cheating in assessed work and
examinations. Students suspected of misconduct are dealt with accordingly through the Academy's Student Discipline Procedures.
Academic misconduct during examinations includes:
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 all
assessments 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.

It’s a fact. When a company gives students the
opportunity to apply classroom concepts to real
business solutions,students gain a greater
understanding of business dynamics.
Weekly Business Quizzes
At FMS we understand the need of designing and implementing such a curriculum which would bridge the gap between theoretical
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
We intend to conduct weekly/fortnightly compulsory business quizzes based on current business awareness. It will help students in
application of current business situations in their classroom teaching, assignments and projects. Compulsorily each student has to
secure a minimum of 60% marks in these quizzes. At the time of final academic evaluation 5% of bonus marks will be awarded to all
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.

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%

33. Vipassana
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 by
Gautam 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 continuously
interconnect and condition the life of the mind. It is this observation-based, self-exploratory journey to the common root of mind and
body 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, the
nature of how one grows or regresses, how one produces suffering or frees oneself from suffering is understood. Life becomes
characterized 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 by
descent, the current teacher in this chain, Mr. S.N. Goenka, was born and raised in Burma (Myanmar). While living there he had the
good fortune to learn Vipassana from his teacher, Sayagyi U Ba Khin who was at the time a high Government official. After receiving
training from his teacher for fourteen years, Mr. Goenka settled in India and began teaching Vipassana in 1969. Since then he has
taught tens of thousands of people of all races and all religions in both the East and West. In 1982 he began to appoint assistant
teachers 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. This
simple 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 flow
of breath as it enters and leaves the nostrils. By the fourth day the mind is calmer and more focussed, better able to undertake the
practice of Vipassana itself: observing sensations throughout the body, understanding their nature, and developing equanimity by
learning 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 developed
during 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, the
greater the freedom from misery, and the closer the approach to the ultimate goal of full liberation. Even ten days can provide results
which are vivid and obviously beneficial in everyday life. The entire practice is actually a mental training. Just as we use physical
exercises to improve our bodily health, Vipassana can be used to develop a healthy mind. Because it has been found to be genuinely
helpful, 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.
