The external examination is conducted by Kannur University. The question paper setting, Valuation of answer scripts, and time-bounded declaration of results were effectively done by the University. The teachers of the college were assigned to perform invigilation duties in a teacher-student ratio of 1:30. The chief superintendent (Principal) and senior superintendent (a senior faculty of the College) supervise the entire examination process. For the smooth and transparent conduct of the examination, the examination halls are arranged under the surveillance of CCTV Cameras. The University deputes an examination inspection squad for restricting malpractice during examinations. In case of any malpractices, they should be reported to the university in the prescribed format. The teachers attend the centralized valuation camps at various centers at Kannur University. The results were declared through the Kannur university examination portal. The students were given opportunities for revaluation, scrutiny of answer scripts and issuing photocopy of answer scripts in case of any grievance.

Evaluation (Both Internal & External) is carried out using a scoring system. The grading based on total internal and external marks will be indicated for each course and for each semester and for the entire program. Each course is evaluated by assigning marks with a letter grade (A+, A, B, C, D, E, and F)
