In every walk of life, the process of evaluation takes place in one form or the other. If the evaluation process is eliminated from human life then perhaps the aim of life may be lost. Being in the same line, Enhelion is committed to evaluate the process of learning through its courses.

The evaluation will be conducted in a two-fold manner. There will be two MCQ tests which would test the basic understanding on the topics covered in the course. Furthermore, there will be one Project Assignment, which would test the analytical understanding of the same.
