Evaluation of CIE Marks:

It is suggested that at least a few simple programs to be executed by students using any evaluation board of MSP430 for better understanding of the course. This activity can be considered for the evaluation of 10 marks out of 40 CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation) marks, reserved for the other activities.

Question paper pattern:

  • The question paper will have ten questions
  • Each full question consists of 16 marks.
  • There will be 2 full questions (with a maximum of three sub questions) from each module.
  • Each full question will have sub questions covering all the topics under a module
  • The students will have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module
