Assessment
Throughout the individual programmes, assessment methods at Skyline Business School

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 speciﬁc 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.

Grading Policy
Marks Grade Grade Point Description
70 or above A 4 Very Good

40 - 49 D 1 Pass
Below 40 F 0 Fail

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

Relevance of Academic Information and Grading Policy
A student’s final course grade will be determined by consideration of the following
factors:

1. Attendance: 75% attendance is compulsory for all classes. This facilitates interaction
with the instructor and fellow students as highest level of learning is achieved by this
method. Students who do not have the requisite 75% attendance in each paper are
barred from the final 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 offline 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 interviews 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.

Social Projects
Giving back to society and social responsibility are areas which need to be part of every
student’s orientation for inclusive growth.

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 difﬁcult 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 ﬁeld 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.

Praveen Puri
Director
