Examination System

Semester system is being followed at KIU. The main objective of this system is to test the curriculum throughout the semester. The academic year is divided into Spring, Summer, and Fall semesters. The lessons are delivered and tested at short intervals and the method of testing can vary from small quizzes to presentations, reports, even take home assignments. Midterm and final exams are designed to judge the level of understanding and assimilating the subject matter. These objectives can only be achieved if the students are regular and systematic in learning and testing.
