Assessment
Assessment:
Internal Assessment:
The assessment consists of two class tests of 20 marks each. The first class test is to be
conducted when approx. 40% syllabus is completed and second class test when additional 40%
syllabus is completed. Duration of each test shall be one hour.

End Semester Theory Examination:

1 Question paper will comprise a total of six questions.
2 All questions carry equal marks.
3 Questions will be mixed in nature (for example supposed Q.2 has part (a) from module 3
then part (b) will be from any module other than module 3).

4 Only Four questions need to be solved.

5 In question paper weightage of each module will be proportional to the number of
respective lecture hours as mentioned in the syllabus.
