AICTE Approves Open Book Test For Engineering
From next year, engineering students will be able to give their exams by looking at their notes and study material. All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) has approved the Open Book Examination. This is an important part of the AICTE's new examination policy.
Open book exams will give students freedom from mugging up. This will change the nature of the question paper. Success in Open Book Examination can be found only through the understanding of the subject and practical knowledge. According to the new policy, the numbers will be given at three levels.
BTech, MTech, MBA program will have to respond to 36% of questions on an understanding basis. 46 percent of questions will be based on practical knowledge. 18% questions will be based on evaluation and analysis.
The committee believed that the Open Book system would be very useful in testing the skills of students in applications, analysis, and evaluation. In its report, the committee said, "Open Book Examination is similar to written examination but it will allow students to carry class notes, textbooks or other study materials with them. There will be no pressure on them to stop them and they will remain stress-free. This will increase the ability to solve the problem and think. "
