Sikkim Manipal University Distance Education usually conducts 4 examinations for odd and even semesters. These exams are held in January-February, April-May, July-August, and October-November. 

• You are allowed to take up the exams at any of the affiliated or identified test centers. 
• To be eligible for these exams, you also need to submit internal assessment (IA) on a regular basis and meet the given deadlines. 
• Your IA marks and the assignment marks are collectively calculated. This helps in brushing your knowledge every day rather than encumbering you with the same facts at the end of the semesters.
• There should be no plagiarism in any of the assignments. If any content is found to be plagiarized, your work would get rejected.
• A score of a minimum of 40% is expected in your IAs and semester examinations. 
• On successful fulfillment of these exams, you will receive the marks card as well as your degree within the period of 3 months. 

It is easier to score in their exams as 80% of the paper consists of Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs). As much as minimal effort to go through the study material would help you in acing these exams.
