Credit system for the course:
• 5 marks for attendance in the class. There will be 15 − 20 random atten-
dance throughout the semester and a student will get 5 marks for atten-
dance provided he/she has more than 75% of attendance.
• 20 marks for class tests. There will be two class tests of equal marks each.
Class test 1 will be sometime during April 10 − 15, 2023 and class test 2
will be sometime during May 27 − June 2, 2023.
• 30 marks for mid-sem exam. Mid-sem will be as per the institute time-
table.
• 40 marks for end-Sem exam. End-sem will be as per the institute time-
table.
