When possible, experts, preferably external, may be asked to assess the participants on the basis of multiple-choice objective tests, and give grades to participants, taking also into account other evaluations already done. The grading should be as follows:
i. A: 75 % and above
ii. B: 60 % to less than 75 %
iii. C: 50 % to less than 60 %
iv. D: Below 50 %

Those teacher participants who get Grade D are required to repeat the program after a gap of one year without financial commitment to the UGC-RCCB/HRDC. The total marks are to be fixed at 100 and the same is distributed in the following manner:

I. Multiple-choice objective tests - 30
II. Seminars/participant presentation - 15
III. Project/survey/others - 20
IV. Micro-teaching/participation - 10
V. Holistic response - 25
(punctuality, regularity, initiative, conduct, responsiveness, etc.)
The above distribution may be adjusted to meet specific requirements. The certificate issued to the teacher participant will only be valid if supported by the Grade based on the evaluation made during the program.
