Examination Cell

I am feeling proud and privileged while introducing you our examination and assessment mechanism developed at Minerva College of Education. Here at Minerva, our philosophy of examination not only believe in grading or ranking system as a result of assessment and evaluation but aims to nurture the talent and intelligence by finding gaps in teaching - learning outcomes. Here we carry out different practices in order to develop recent theoretical and pedagogical skills among our pupil teachers. Keeping in view the basic tenets of two-year teacher training program (B.Ed.) and needs of the constant dynamic academic world our aim is to help our pupil teachers to find out the learning gaps by developing an objective examination system which is truly valid and reliable. Examination process at Minerva is followed by the diagnostic and remedial measures that tends to help our pupil teachers to bring desirable changes which is needful to adapt in the world of academics and dynamic educational structure. We believe that the real success of any examination system depends on the fact that to what extent an individual inculcates industriousness in the given profession.
