Evaluation process
Candidates interested in receiving the accreditation must appear for an end term proctored exam. The date of the examination is available on the website and the students must register for the exam through a URL sent by the course organizers.
Moreover, the average assignment score of 25% (average of the best 8 assignments submitted out of a total of 12 assignments) will be considered. The end term exam on the other hand contributes towards 75% of the final score. The students must get an average assignment score of >= 10/25. Similarly, an average score >= 30/75 needs to be obtained in the end-term proctored exam.
Even if any one of the above conditions is not satisfied, the candidate will not be eligible for a certificate despite the candidate securing a final score >= 40/100.
