Maths and Statistics Parts have missed due to Logical error while assigning marks to questions.

[Harshit Gupta]

Hello Everyone,  Please read till end.

I am getting around 35/50 calculated raw marks in English & Computational Thinking.

In Maths and Statistics I am not getting even 20/50 why??

I know the reason-

1. In English Same marks i.e. 1 marks is awarded for each correct Answer

So, Why Such Assigning of illogical Different Marking Schemes specially in Maths and Statistics?

2. For MSQ, There should be like if four options are correct and we choose 3 including one incorrect then I guess only 2 options are getting correct so there should be total marks for that MSQ/2 or may be negative marking can be done. There is no sense getting 0 for that.

3. In some Answers I am getting confused now, There is no option for RANGE, even it accepts numerical value, that all answers I am getting 0.

4. In some NAT questions I am getting nearest Integer very close, even some aacurate also. But also getting some error in multiples of 10 etc. like 2.1 become 21 and 41 as 410. There are not clearly instructions to avoid such errors.

5. There can be multiple errors in evaluation due to different question papers and Awarding " Free Marks " for some Papers only,  Moreover @IITMadras Online Degree Team should also clarify about normalization.

My only demand that for Students obtained more than 40% or 50% (as decided by IITM) as Average Assignment Scores. There should be an aggregate total of Both Average/Total Assignment Scores & Total Qualifier Exam Marks.This aggregate should be used. Then all of us are getting fair chance of been selected.

We had done a lot of hard work.

Lastly,

There is a famous proverb “Tomorrow is my Exam, but I don't' care because a single sheet of paper can't decide my future.” This quote is also marked as said by the famous scientist Thomas Edison.

 Thanks All !!!!

The fact that you quoted Thomas Edison after ranting about how you aren't scoring enough and should be given another 'fair chance' is so nonsensical to me. You have acknowledged that this exam paper won't 'decide your future', then why care whether you qualify or not. I feel like you don't understand what that quote even means as your use of it here is contradicting what you're trying to achieve. If you didn't do well now, move on and try harder next time. 40% in each subject is already a ridiculously low hurdle going below which will degrade the value of the course. This is an IIT course, it's not supposed to be easy. If you can't do well in 4 weeks worth of courses are you sure you'll fare well going forward into the actual course? Try asking yourself these questions before finding excuses and shortcuts.

Edison was not great he was just a rich copy cat. The real god is Tesla.
