ASSESSMENT
Throughout the semester, the student is assessed continuously through the following stages:
Continuous internal assessment of students in all subjects is carried out by the respective subject teachers and a proper record of the internal assessment is maintained. The scores obtained in the internal assessment contribute to the university examination of the candidate, in accordance with the rules of the Khyber Medical University (KMU).
It is a formative assessment done near the middle of the academic semester. Result is shared with the students and their parents for feedback. It contributes towards 30% of the final semester result.
It is a summative assessment which is done at the end of semester. This is the final examination held by KMU where the successful students are promoted to the next semester and failures are retained in the same class.
No student is eligible for university examination without having attended a cumulative 75% of the total lectures for each subject.
A student can be stopped by the NWIHS authorities from appearing in the University examination on account of poor academic performance, short attendance during the respective academic semester, misconduct or failure to pass midterm examination.
