Internal Assessment Cell

Our prime concern is to focus on enhancement of academic performance of every individual student, and to initiate special effort or remedial measures to address their learning gaps during the course of study. Hence, the opportunities are given to the students with fluctuating performance or short-term absentees to improve in their academics.

To address such issues, Dr. PDNI Amravati constituted Internal Assessment Cell (IAC) in the year 2020. It is a dedicated unit that provides guidance and support to the nursing students to manage their academic issues or difficulties related to internal assessment. The IAC receives and processes the application form from students related to lack of attendance, non-submission of assignments, failure to attend internal examinations, medical emergency, untoward incidents, and other difficulties or events encountered during the course of study, that may affect the IA mark of students.
