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
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.
