Subscribe/Renew Journal
The IT industry has seen stupendous growth during the last decade. The demand for engineering professionals is ever increasing such that there is always dearth for the right people in this field. Today, many top corporate houses are giving a lot of importance to Campus recruitment. Each company has its own eligibility criteria. In addition an eligibility criterion to appear for campus placement is based on the aggregate marks of 6 semesters of Under Graduate university exam. All universities across India have 100 marks full mark theory paper for almost all engineering courses. Unfortunately, most of undergraduates' students are obtaining less mark in their University Examination resulting in lower aggregate percentage. The objective of this experiment is to demonstrate that there exist an assessment bias in engineering university exam assessment process influenced by presentation and writing technique. The results showed that marks secured by students in university examination are influenced by presentation format and writing technique for almost same content when assessed by different evaluator. Training the students to develop an effective presentation and handwriting technique will enable them to produce a legible and fluent personal style enhancing grades in University exams.
