An important feature of the semester system is the process of continuous evaluation of a student and the flexibility to allow the student to make the progress at a pace suited to his/her individual ability, in consonance with the regulation of credit requirements.
Each course has a certain number of credits assigned to it depending on its lectures, and practical work hours in a week. One lecture hour per week for 15 weeks per semester is assigned one credit. A three credit hour course has 45 class hours per semester. However, in case of practical, one credit will be equivalent to 45 hours of practical work per semester
