Oral Examination:
The oral examination will be based on the entire syllabus.
Term Work:
Each student shall prepare a project report covering the selection of design parameters, design analysis including drawing on any aspect of soil dynamics included in the syllabus. The project report referred above along with the assignments will form a part of the term work. The assignments shall be given covering the entire syllabus in such a way that the students would attempt at least four problems and/or questions on each modules/ sub- modules and contents thereof, further. The report on the block vibration tests, if conducted, shall also form a part of the term work. Distribution of Term Work Marks: The marks of the term-work shall be judiciously awarded for various components of the term work depending upon its quality. The final certification and the acceptance of the termwork warrant the satisfactory and the appropriate completion of the assignments, proper compilation of the project report and that of experiments/ practical, if conducted;and further, minimum passing marks to be obtained by the students. The following weightage of marks shall be given for different components of the term work.
- Assignments : 20Marks
- Attendance : 05Marks
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
