INTERNAL EXAMINATION PATTERN:
The total internal marks (30) are distributed in three components as follows:
1. Descriptive (subjective type) examination: 25 marks
2. Assignment: 05 marks
FINAL EXAMINATION PATTERN:
The end examination paper should consist of Part A and Part B. part A consist of two questions in Design and Drawing out of which one question is to be answered. Part B should consist of five questions and design out of which three are to be answered. Weightage for Part – A is 40% and Part- B is 60%.
