This thesis entitled "Student Perception Towards the Internal Assessment in Semester System" is a demanding topic of the research. The main objectives of this study were to explore the student's perception towards the internal assessment system in mathematics education and to analyze the improvement process of internal assessment system in mathematics education. This study was based on a mixed- method research design. This study was delimited within the Kathmandu valley. This study was based on Master level student who studied in semester system. A total of 110 sample students were selected by stratified sampling from three different colleges for questionnaire and among them 6 students by purposive sampling for interview.
