Exams are held semester-wise; internal assessment marks are combined with end-semester results for the final CGPA.

Ans. Gurugram University mandates a minimum 75% attendance in each paper for students to be eligible to appear in semester examinations. This applies to BA Hons. students at DGC Gurugram as well.

Short attendance can lead to being barred from exams, so maintaining regular attendance is important throughout the three-year programme.
