Assessment

Internal Assessment: 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.

Theory Examination:

1. Question paper will comprise of total six questions.
2. All question carry equal marks
3. Questions will be mixed in nature (for example supposed Q.2 has part
   1. from module 3 then part
   2. will be from any module other than module 3)
4. Only Four question need to be solved.

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