The final certification and acceptance of term work ensures the satisfactory performance of
laboratory work and minimum passing in the term work.

Internal Assessment
Assessment consists of two tests out of which; one should be compulsory class test (on
minimum 40% of curriculum) and the other is either a class test (on minimum 70% of
curriculum) or assignment on live problems or course project.
