Teaching Pedagogy

Class lectures, group discussions, case studies, guest lectures, role play, research work, project work (individual and group), assignments (theoretical and practical), and term papers are all part of the general teaching methodology. The teaching faculty will select a teaching methodology based on the needs of the course.

At the beginning of each semester, the responsible faculty must establish a thorough course overview and work plan, as well as suggest the fundamental text and other reference materials for efficient teaching-learning of the course modules.

Internship

During the final semester, students will be assigned to organizations where they will work for eight weeks. Based on his or her work in the relevant organization given to him or her, each student must write an individual project report in the required format.

The internship will be evaluated based on the organization’s confidential report, project report, and report presentation. The report is due at the conclusion of the eighth semester. Students must get at least a “C” in the internship. The internship carries the equivalent of three credit hours.

Examination, Evaluation, and Grading System

The semester system will be used to carry out the BIM curriculum. The normal curriculum will take eight semesters to complete. Internal (ongoing) evaluation and external (end-of-semester) examination will be weighted at 40% and 60%, respectively.

FOM will be in charge of the semester exams. The student’s final grade will be determined by his or her overall performance in the internal and external examinations.

Passing Grade and Grading System

Tribhuvan University conducts an examination to assess students’ final performance. Students must get a minimum of a ‘B’ or a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.0 in the internal evaluation to be eligible to take the semester examination. To pass the semester test, the student must have a minimum grade of ‘B’ or a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.00. The following is the grading system:

Letter Grade	Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)	Marks Obtained in Percent	Divisions / Remarks
A	4	90 – 100	Distinction
A-	3.70 – 3.99	80 – 89.9	Very Good
B+	3.30 – 3.69	70 – 79.9	First Division
B	3.00 – 3.299	60 -69.9	Second Division
B-	2.70 – 2.99	50 – 59.9	Pass in Individual Subject
F	Below 2.70	Below 50	Fail

Makeup/Retake Exam

The make-up/retake test will be held in accordance with the semester requirements.

Attendance

Students must attend all theoretical and practical sessions, assignments, study tours, field trips, seminars, and presentations as required by the course on a regular basis. To be eligible for the semester examination, a student must participate in at least 80% of such events.
