PAPER – III
PRACTICAL PAPER
Modalities For Conducting The Practical and The Practical Examination

1) There will be four Practical slots lectures of 45 minutes per week, two
slots for Paper I and two for Paper II. (24 Practical slots for Paper I and 24
practical slots for Paper II per term in any one term) OR one 3 hour
Practical session for each batch of 20 students per week

2) A question bank consisting of 100 problems in all for the whole year,
distributed in four Sections: 50 questions for each term (25 questions on
Paper I and 25 on Paper II) will be the course work for this paper.
Question Bank will be prepared by a Sub-Committee to be appointed by
the Board of Studies in Mathematics. Question Bank shall be ready by
first week of June, 2008.
3) The College will conduct the written Practical Examination of 80 marks at
least 15 days before the commencement of the Main Theory Examination.
There will be no external examiner. The written practical exam will be of
the duration of 3 hours and the question paper will be as follows:
Q1. (a) Any 1 out of 2 of 10 marks on Paper I(first term).
(b) Any 1 out of 2 of 10 marks on Paper II.(first term).

Q2. Any 4 out of 5 each of 5 marks on Paper I.

Q3. Any 4 out of 5 each of 5 marks on Paper II.

Q4. (a) Any 1 out of 2 of 10 marks on Paper I(second term).

(b) Any 1 out of 2 of 10 marks on Paper II(second term).

In Q2 and Q3, there will be either 2 questions from first term and 3
questions from the second term or viceversa.

4) Each student will maintain a journal to be provided by the College at cost.

Certified journal will be submitted by the student at the time of the
Practical Examination. There will be 20 marks for internal assessment
which will include marks for journal and attendance.

5) 60 percent of the questions for the written practical examination will be

exclusively set from the Question Bank provided. Questions from the
Question Bank (meant for practical course) should NOT be asked in
the University Theory Examinations.

6) The Question Bank shall be changed once every three years.

7) In each term 12 practicals will be held including 2 revision practicals.

Each practical can either be conducted in one session of 3 hours or it can
be spread out over 4 slots of 45 mins each per week. Hence the total
number of slots per term for the practicals is 48.
