Assessment:

Continuous Assessment: 20 marks

Following measures can be used for the continuous assessment as

Assignments /Quiz /Case studies /Projects / Any other measure with the permission of the
Director/Principal/HOD/Coordinator
The continuous evaluation has to be done throughout the Semester. The faculty can use the
flexibility of the mode as per the requirement of the subject.

Test: 20 marks

Assessment consists of one class tests of 20 marks each. The Class Test is to be conducted when
approx. 50 -60% of the syllabus is completed. Duration of each test shall be one hour.

Internal Assessment: 20 marks

The Internal Assessment marks (out of 20) will be the average of the Class test and the
Continuous Assessment.
Term Work : 25 marks
The term work will be based on the tutorial performance of the student.

End Semester Theory Examination:

1. Question paper will comprise of total 06 questions, each carrying 20 marks.

2. Total 04 questions need to be solved.

3. Question No: 01 will be compulsory and based on the entire syllabus wherein 4 sub-questions of
5 marks each will be asked.

4. Remaining questions will be randomly selected from all the modules.

5. Weightage of each module will be proportional to the number of respective lecture hours as
mentioned in the syllabus.
