INSTRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED
The candidates will be required to attempt All questions in Part-A and Part-B
(Compulsory Sections). Attempt any four questions from Part-C selecting at least one
from each unit.
Allotted time for examination is 4 hours that includes time for downloading the
question paper, writing answers, scanning of answer sheets and uploading the sheets
on the Attendance Sheet Cum Answer Sheet Uploading google form.
The PDF files should be saved as Roll No. and Subject Code.
Maximum Page Limit should be 36 (Thirty Six) for attempting the question paper on
A4 sheets which could be downloaded and printed from the sample sheets given in
the UIET Website.
Over-attemptation should be avoided.
Handwriting should be neat and clean and diagrams should be clear and contrasted.
The candidate should not write their Mobile No. otherwise Unfair Means Case will
be made.
While attempting the paper, the candidate will use blue/black pen only.
Before attempting the paper, the candidate will ensure that he/she has downloaded
the correct question paper. No complaint for attempting wrong question paper by the
candidate will be entertained.
Candidate must ensure that he/she has put his/her signature on each page of the
answer sheet used by him/her. Answer sheet without the signature of the candidate
will not be evaluated.
Attempt parts A, B & C separately. Do not inter-mix them. Write neatly & mention the
question number clearly.
PART-A (15 Marks)
(i) How many crystal systems and Bravais lattices are there in crystallography?
(vii) A stamped steel undergoes an annealing process. Average grain size before annealing was
1.5 µm. Another soft ferrous material of average grain size 14 µm undergoes hardening
process. What will be the effect of both processes on increase or decrease of respective
grain size of both samples?
(viii) List various surface hardening methods.
(xii) Which microscope offers highest magnification levels out of SEM, TEM and STM.
(xiv) Why electrons are used instead of light in a scanning electron microscope?
