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 one MCQ test 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.

The most intriguing aspect of the evaluation process is the time flexibility it affords. You can take the MCQ test and submit the project assignment as per your convenience.

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