The Continuous Assessment (CA) score is calculated by aggregating the weighted marks from all its components, which typically include assignments, quizzes, projects, and academic participation throughout the term. The specific weight given to each CA instrument is defined in the course structure. This accumulated CA score carries a substantial weightage of 20% to 30% of the final grade for a course, ensuring a student's consistent effort is highly valued alongside their performance in the End-Term Examination (ETE). This system promotes continuous engagement and learning.

hi, At Lovely Professional University (LPU), the Continuous Assessment (CA) score is calculated based on a student’s performance in various academic activities conducted throughout the semester. These activities may include quizzes, assignments, class tests, attendance, projects, and presentations. Each component carries specific marks assigned by the course instructor. The combined score from these components forms the CA marks. Typically, CA contributes 40% to the final grade, while the End-Term Examination carries 60% weightage. This balanced evaluation system ensures that students are rewarded for consistent effort and participation, not just for performance in the final exam.
