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 evaluating the process of learning through its courses.

The enrollee will be evaluated based on one Project Assignment for each video lectures certificate course bundled together, which would test the analytical understanding of the topics covered in the video lecture.

The most intriguing aspect of the evaluation process is the time flexibility it affords. You can choose to undergo the evaluation process as and when you are ready for the same.

To be eligible to receive a certificate after successful completion of the course, one is required to secure a minimum of 40 percent overall in the Project Assignments.
