Salient Pedagogical Strategies:

1. Emphasis will be given on fundamentals of the subject.

2. Presentations on the OHP/PPT/Black Board will be given.
3. Term Paper (Minor Project) will be given to develop technical skills
among students.
4. Assignments will be given to create the habit of self study and the same
will be evaluated through the tests.
