Assessment:

Internal Assessment for 20 marks: Consisting of Two Compulsory Class Tests Approximately 40% to 50% of syllabus content must be covered in First test and remaining 40% to 50% of syllabus contents must be covered in second test. End Semester Theory Examination: Some guidelines for setting the question papers are as:

• Weightage of each module in end semester examination is expected to be/will be proportional to number of respective lecture hours mentioned in the syllabus.
• Question paper will comprise of total six questions, each carrying 20 marks.
• Q.1 will be compulsory and should cover maximum contents of the syllabus.
• Remaining question will be mixed in nature (for example if Q.2 has part
1. from module 3 then part
2. will be from any other module. (Randomly selected from all the modules)
• Total four questions need to be solved.
