End Semester Examination:

Weightage of each module in end semester examination will be proportional to number of respective lecture hours mentioned in the syllabus.

1. Question paper will comprise of total six questions, each carrying 20 marks
2. Question 1 will be compulsory and should cover maximum contents of the syllabus
3. Remaining questions will be mixed in nature (for example if Q.2 has part
   1. from module 3 then part
   2. will be from any module other than module 3 )
4. Only Four questions need to be solved.
