Assessment

Throughout the individual programmes, assessment methods at Skyline Business School

are designed to enable students to develop their own potential and permit a close working

relationship between the learning experience and individual assessment.

Aim of Assessment

The aim of the assessment is to test whether the student has achieved the stated learning

outcomes for the Programme as a whole and the specifi c unit in particular.

Principles

The assessment of the course is governed by a number of principles:

With the exception of the independent study, all units are normally assessed by a �

combination of course work, assessment and formal examination weighted in each

unit generally at 50:50 though it may be changed from time to time and from course

to course;

Each course work incorporates periodic tests, which will be part of the written unit �

and therefore, prescribed at its commencement; each unit will also include deadlines

for the presentation of the course work;

The Independent Study must be in an area that is relevant to the named Award. �

Those students attaining grade ‘D’ or ‘F’ are given an opportunity to improve their grade

within a stipulated period of time.

This grading policy may differ between courses.

Grading Policy

Marks Grade Grade Point Description

70 or above A 4 Very Good

60 - 69 B 3 Good

50 - 59 C 2 Average

40 - 49 D 1 Pass

A student’s fi nal course grade will be determined by consideration of the following

factors:

method. Students who do not have the requisite 75% attendance in each paper are

barred from the fi nal examination of that unit.

2. Reading: Every student is expected to have thoroughly read and reviewed all reading

assignments from the required text or other reference material.

3. Discussion: Students must participate in regular classroom discussions as concepts are

cleared and fresh perspectives are formed.

4. Testing and Writing Projects: Students will complete online tests for online courses

and case studies for offl ine courses.

5. Assignments: Students complete group and individual assignments for the course.

Group projects inculiate team spirit.

6. Seminars: Students are expected to attend maximum number of seminars by guest

faculty, weekly quizzes, as well as seminars conducted outside where Skyline students

are sent. Attendance in external seminars attracts bonus points. All of these methods

help students in maximising their learning, particularly as they are able to see direct

linkages between theory and practice.

Skill Enhancement

Many students generally display limited skill sets. It has been Skyline’s endeavour to maximise each student’s professional and

social skills and prepare them for responsible positions at the place of work. Management games bring out those areas which

need most attention, among them being communication (written, verbal and body language), personal presentations, ability to

work in teams, leadership and qualities of tolerance. HR experts also give training by identifying attitudes as well as personal

goals and drivers. In each

semester, special emphasis

is also laid on corporate

requirements and ability to

understand each incumbency,

face competition and sustain

positions, and an ability to

stay updated in the changing

environment and stay ahead

in knowledge of the relevant

work area.

Mock i n t e rv i ews and

group discussions are held/

conducted to test whether

the students have been

able to develop the skills

that they initially lacked

and later imbibed at the

institute. Students are also

encouraged to participate in

inter-college events in areas

of professional competence

like business quizzes, paper

presentations, business plans

and advertising events.

Students organise events

on their own initiative and

manage them with minimal

support from the faculty. This

develops their organisational

skills while keeping the

perspective of managing

within budgets.

From the Director’s Desk

We had embarked on a mission fourteen years back, when we started Skyline Business

School.

It was to create a world class learning environment, which prepares young managers

to cope up with ever increasing challenges of competitive world, which develops their

versatility to adapt seamlessly in a multi cultural global environment, which trains them

to be equally comfortable in state-of-the-art as well as rustic environment, which nurtures

their leadership traits to shoulder increasing responsibilities, which encourages them to

analyse every diffi cult situation objectively, and which imbibes in them to keep their core

values and ethics intact in all situations.

We have great sense of satisfaction in what has been accomplished till now, when we see

industry seeking our students for placements and projects throughout the year, and, when

we see various surveys consistently validating our improved standings year after year.

The journey to stay ahead has only begun.

At Skyline we prepare you for the challenges of the new world. The exposure through

academics, case studies, industry interactions, extracurricular and co-curricular activities,

seminars and fi eld assignments will have immense learning value which you will cherish

throughout your life. The opportunity for learning is limitless.

At Skyline we help you graduate to the new world.

We welcome you to be a part of our vision.
