Assessment:
Internal Assessment for 20 marks:
Consi
ing Two Compulsory Class Tests
First test based on approximately 40% of content and second test based on remaining contents (approximately
40% but excluding contents covered in Test 1)
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 (a) from module 3 then
part (b) will be from any module other than module 3)
4. Only Four questions need to be solved
