Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE); Theory (50 Marks)


CIE is executed by way of quizzes (Q), tests (T) and Experiential Learning (EL). A minimum of three
quizzes are conducted and each quiz is evaluated for 10 marks adding up to 15 marks. All quizzes are
conducted online. Faculty may adopt innovative methods for conducting quizzes effectively. The number
of quizzes may be more than three also. The three tests are conducted for 30 marks each and the sum of
the marks scored from three tests is reduced to 25. The marks component for Experiential Learning is 20.
Total CIE is 15(Q) +25(T) +10(EL) =50 Marks.

Semester End Evaluation (SEE); Theory (50 Marks)


SEE for 50 marks is executed by means of an examination. The Question paper for the course contains
two parts, Part – A and Part – B. Part – A consists of objective type questions for 10 marks covering the
complete syllabus. Part – B consists of five main questions, one from each unit for 8 marks adding up to
40 marks. Each main question may have sub questions. The question from Units I, IV and V have no
internal choice. Units II and III have internal choice in which both questions cover entire unit having same
complexity in terms of COs and Bloom’s taxonomy level.
