Course Outcomes:

Theory examination:

The question paper will comprise of six questions; each carrying 20 marks.
The first question will be compulsory and will have short questions having weightage of 4-5marks covering the entire syllabus.
The remaining five questions will be based on all the modules of the entire syllabus and may be . For this, the modules shall be divided proportionately and further, the weightage of the marks shall be judiciously awarded in proportion to the importance of the sub-module and contents thereof.
Remaining questions will be mixed in nature (e.g. Suppose Q.2 has part
1. from module II then part
2. will be from any module other than module II).
The students will have to attempt any three questions out of remaining five questions.
Total four questions need to be attempted.

Oral Examination:

The oral examination shall be based on the entire syllabus and term work comprising of the report of the experiments/ practicals conducted by the students and a detail report of the industrial/ site visit.

Internal Assessment:

There will be two class tests (to be referred to as an Internal Assessment) to be conducted in the semester. The first internal assessment (IA) will be conducted in the mid of the semester based on the 40% of the syllabus. It will be of 20 marks. Similarly, the second internal assessment (IA) will be conducted at the end of the semester and it will be based on next 40% of the syllabus. It will be of 20 marks. Lastly, the average of the marks scored by the students in both the Internal Assessment will be considered. Duration of both the IA examination will be of one hour duration, respectively.

List of Practicals (Any Eight to be performed):

Site Visit/ Industrial Visit:

The students shall visit the brick, paver blocks, concrete block, cement, glass and RMC industrial plants. They shall study various aspects of the plant along with various operations. A visit may also be arranged to the site involving repairs and rehabilitation of concrete structures. The visit to any site where construction is going on may be arranged and the students may be made aware of the various construction activities. They shall prepare a report of the visit which shall include all above points. The same shall be evaluated by the concerned teacher.

Term Work:

The term work shall consist of:

Report of minimum 08 experiments.
Assignments, including at least 20 sketches on A2 size drawing sheets covering entire syllabus.
Industrial visit report to at least any one of the above mentioned industrial plants.
Although minimum numbers of experiments and industrial visits are prescribed, the students shall be encouraged to perform more number of experiments and site/ industrial visits.

Distribution of the Term Work Marks: The marks of the term work shall be judiciously awarded for the various components of the term work and depending upon the quality of the term work including industrial/ site visit report. The final certification and acceptance of term work warrants the satisfactory performance of laboratory work by the student, appropriate completion of the assignments. Broadly, the split of the marks for term work shall be as given below. However, there can be further bifurcation in the marks under any of the heads to account for any sub-head therein\. Report of the Experiments : 10 marks Assignments : 05 Marks Sketches : 05 marks Attendance : 05 marks Total : 25 marks Further, while giving weightage of marks on the attendance, following guidelines shall be resorted to. 75%- 80%: 03 Marks; 81%- 90%: 04 Marks 91% onwards: 05 Marks
