Note:
1. a) The written test is for 90 minutes for 30 marks containing
3 questions without choice and will be scaled down to 15 marks. Fist mid-
term Unit-1 (12M), Unit-2 (12M), & Half of Unit-3 (6M). Second mid-term
the remaining half of Unit-3 (6M), Unit-4 (12M) & Unit-5 (12M).
b) The Seminar on the subject topics covered should be conducted for 10
Minutes for 5 Marks, which will assess the comprehension & expressivity
skills of students in the concepts of their Course.
2. The Objective test is for 20 minutes with 20 multiple choice questions for
20 marks and will be scaled down to 10 marks.
3. The Assignment Test (Open Book System) is for 50 minutes for 20 marks
contain 3 questions and will be scaled down to 10 marks. Fist mid-term
Unit-1(8M), Unit-2(8M), & Half of Unit-3(4M). Second mid-term the
remaining half of Unit-3(4M), Unit-4 (8M) & Unit-5 (8M). Students can
bring a maximum of three printed text books related to that subject.
4. The total marks secured in each mid-term examination are evaluated for
40 marks.
5. Internal marks can be calculated with 70% weighted for better of the two
mids and 30% weightage for other mid exam.
Ex: Final Internal Marks = Best Mid Marks X 0.7 + Other Mid Marks X 0.3
 End Examination
The semester end examinations will be conducted for 60 marks consist of
five questions carrying 12 marks each. Each of these questions is from one
unit and may contain a maximum of 3 sub-questions.

For each question there will be an “either” “or” choice, which means that
there will be two questions from each unit and student can answer either of
the two questions.
