Manipal Education and Industry
A few years from now, the companies that will survive are those that have built domain expertise in an organization's single most competitive advantage – manpower. While there is no dearth of human capital in a country like India, the concern is - are they employable? We at Manipal Education constantly endeavor to update our programs and teaching techniques to impart only industry relevant education. This helps the students become readily employable and existing employees upgrade their skills to meet industry standards. We were among the first in the country to bridge the gap between education and the industry by creating industry specific programs for organizations. To address the need for career-focused education, Manipal Education has partnered with ICICI Bank to establish the ICICI Manipal Academy of Banking & Finance. Manipal Education has several strategic investments in emerging companies, including U21Global, the world’s premier online graduate school and MeritTrac, India's Largest Skills Assessment and Testing Company.

Faculty
The university has a large pool of faculty members in various functional areas such as Finance, Marketing, HR and IT. We believe in having a good blend of theory & practice of management and accordingly the faculty members chosen have both academic & industry experience. We also draw on the network of faculty members from reputed Indian Universities and Institutions to impart their knowledge to the students. Besides faculty lectures, the program will have regular seminars, assignments, and case study discussions. A handout containing plan of study, evaluation scheme, prescribed text books, suggested reference books and other details will be given to the students. The evaluation schedule is announced in the beginning of the semester itself. All details pertaining to the operation of the program, including grading procedures, are shared with the students through this document.
Attendance requirement
Attendance for the lectures is a critical part of course implementation. Students need to maintain a minimum of 75% attendance in each subject to be eligible for appearing for the end semester university exams. However, in special circumstances, a student may be permitted to take the examination even if he / she has less than 75% attendance (but not less than 60% in individual subjects) only if he / she produces a letter from the concerned authority supporting the genuineness of the cause for absence.
Reference Material / Books
One reference book for each subject will be given to each student. The reference book may not cover the complete syllabus in all cases, so it is highly recommended and advisable that students refer to additional books and journals to enhance their hold on individual subjects.

Evaluation Methodology
The letter grading system (Credit Based) will be adopted to evaluate the performance of the students. The evaluation is done on the basis of internal assessments and end semester examinations.
Project Work
The students need to undertake project work for a duration of two months in their organization or on their own, in the chosen area of specialization. The score assigned to the Project Report, Presentation and Viva-Voce is considered in the final calculation of marks and declaration of results. Project work evaluation will follow the fixed grading system.
Outline of Evaluation
The student performance in each subject is evaluated out of a maximum of 100 marks, of which 50% is for in-semester assessment and 50% for the end semester examinations. However, a candidate must score a minimum of 35% marks in the end semester exam to be eligible for passing grades. In-semester assessment will be based on continuous evaluation, the factors of which will include attendance, assignments, case presentations and class tests. The overall performance of a student in different subjects is expressed in terms of a Letter Grade. Both internal assessment and the University viva-voce examination marks will be considered for awarding the grade.
Examination
The examinations are conceived, developed and administered on a rigorous and fair basis to bring out the best in the students and prepare them for challenging careers in the world of management. The examination for the program is conducted at the end of each semester. A student will be promoted to the next semester irrespective of the number of subjects he/she has passed.
Credit Based System/ Letter Grades
The educational process uses a credit based system. The program content of an individual subject is expressed in terms of certain number of credits. The number of credits assigned to a subject depends on the number of contact hours. The program content of each semester is expressed in terms of a specified number of total credits. A student is deemed to have successfully completed a particular semester's program of study when he/she earns all the credits of that semester.
Continuous Internal Evaluation
Manipal University follows a continuous system of internal evaluations to monitor and improve the performance of students. Internal evaluation shall be based on assignment / test / examinations and seminars conducted in respective subjects. The total weight age for the same will be 50%. (There will be two internal tests in each subject and one assignment).

Grade A+ A B C D E F
Grade Value 10 9 8 7 6 5 0
The number of credits attached to a program will be multiplied by the grade value (i.e. points) to arrive at the grade points secured by a student in that subject. The total grade points divided by the total credits gives the GPA per semester. At the end of the program, CGPA is arrived at by the weighted average of the GPAs of the four semesters. A student who has secured F grade in one or more subjects, irrespective of the reason, has to take a supplementary examination in each of such subjects.
minimum attendance per subject is 60% and the average attendance in the semester is 75% the candidate will be allowed to take the exam. Students who take a break due to an official assignment can avail of a certain exemption in attendance by producing a written document/letter from the company. In such cases the minimum attendance required per subject cannot be less than 60% and the average attendance in the semester has to be 60%. If the above criteria is not met, the candidate can take exams only for those subjects where the required attendance of 75% and above is met. However, if the candidate is keen on attending lectures for the subject missed during the break, he/she can join the lectures in the next available batch and appear for the exam. Long-term Break: If required, a candidate can take a long term break spanning upto one year (first year of study). However, such a break will be allowed only for official reasons such as deputation on a project abroad or at some other location. Note A candidate is eligible to take short / long-term breaks provided we have a batch to offer.
Evaluation of Project Work
The evaluation of the project work will be based on the quality of the report and student's performance in a viva-voce & presentation, divided as 50% for project report and the remaining 50% for viva-voce & presentation. The viva-voce will be conducted by external examiners.
Validity of Enrollment
The maximum validity period for the E-MBA program is 4 years from the date of commencement of the program. Students are required to complete the program within this period. Students who are unable to complete the program within the validity period, but are still keen on continuing the program, are required to register as fresh candidates by paying the requisite fee.
