EC P82 - COMPREHENSIVE VIVA-VOCE
The student will be tested for his understanding of the basic principles of the core
engineering subjects. The internal assessment for a total of 50 marks will be made by a
committee comprising of the faculty members of the department. The committee will
conduct three written examinations of short questions type from the subjects (Test1-Analog
and Digital Electronic Circuits, Electric Circuits, Microprocessor and VLSI; Test 2-Signal
Processing, Electromagnetic Waves and Waveguides, Antennas Control Systems; Test 3-
Analog and digital communication, Advanced communication systems). The external
university examination, which carries a total of 50 marks, will be a Viva Voce examination
conducted by a committee of one external examiner and one internal examiner appointed
by the university.
