Abstract
Most of the universities have their own internal discipline-specific exams, and methods to evaluate the outcome of learning which they use these data to evaluate their programs and present it to the regional accreditation commission. It is difficult, as well as, improper to judge all different types of institutions by a common standard. The curriculum should clearly state how the learning outcomes are achieved and how it would be useful in shaping the career of a student in that particular discipline. The designing of the curriculum should be done byan external (private/government board) whose members should not be only educators but also prospective employers in the area of that discipline .It would also be useful to have a common external exam, specific to the type of institution to evaluate the learning outcomes in a specific subject taught in the university. This exam can be conducted by the external accreditation board, based on the common curriculum. The university would also have to maintain a database of students that keeps track of the career of the graduating students. This strategy cannot be employed for a common evaluation system for similar sized universities in the country/state. The objective of this paper is not to propose the evaluation system within the framework and restraints of existing institution but, first to decide the evaluation system and then to shape the institutional systems accordingly. Here, it must be borne clearly that, the term used is the Evaluation and not the Examination An Evaluation is a continuous process of reporting one’s performance during the full tenure of the course in all aspects of the learning process, viz. Sincerity, learning attitude, grasping ability and presentation of the knowledge, one has acquired. It may be explained by suggesting a proposed format of attendance/detention, tests, assignments in classroom/at home, end semester examinations, extra - curricular activities ,a jury ,admission in the next semester ,improvement and certificate. Understanding of the concepts is the important point. The examination system is meant for proper evaluation of the concept .Students is studying because of the examinations. An evaluation system should keep this aspect in mind. Before we ponder over the evaluation system, it is appropriate to take up the terms, Measurement, assessment, and evaluation. They sound similar meanings yet are different with substantial differences.
