Assessment:
Internal Assessment consists of two tests out of which; one should be compulsory class test (on minimum 02 Modules) and the other is either a class test or assignment on live problems or course project. Term work Term work shall consist of minimum two group assignments followed by seminar, report on power plant visit and four tutorials based on the syllabus. The distribution of marks for term work shall be as follows: Tutorial and Visit :10 marks Assignments and Seminar :10 marks Attendance (Theory and Tutorial. :05 marks The final certification and acceptance of term work ensures minimum passing in the term work.
Theory Examination:
- Question paper will comprise of 6 questions, each carrying 20 marks.
- Total four questions need to be solved.
- Q.1 will be compulsory, based on entire syllabus wherein sub questions of 2 to 5 marks will be asked.
- Remaining question will be randomly selected from all the modules.
