Promotion to Higher Semesters: Students who complete the semes-

ter by securing the minimum required attendance and who register for
the End Semester Evaluation conducted by the University of each se-
mester alone shall be promoted to the next higher semester.

Re-appearance of Failed Students: “Students who fail shall have to

reappear for the ESE of the same along with the next regular batch
of students.” Candidates who fail to score ‘E’ grade in the ESE in any
of the Course/Courses have to reappear for the ESE of the Course /
Courses concerned with next regular batch of students. The number of
chances or such appearances is limited to 5 and the same have to be
done within a period of 12 continuous semesters including the semes-
ter in which they have first appeared.

IV. Grading System.

Both CE and ESE will be carried out using Indirect Grading system
on a 7-point scale.

Consolidation of Grades
The maximum mark for a Course (ESE theory) is 75. The duration of
ESE is 3 hours.

The marks of CE shall be consolidated by adding the marks of Attend-

7
ance, Assignment/ Seminar and Test paper respectively for a particular
Course.

Attendance 5 marks
Assignment/Seminar 5 marks
Test Paper 15 marks
Total 25

Total marks for the ESE of Practical 75. The components of ESE of
Practical have to be set by the Chairmen, Boards of Studies, concerned.

The marks for the components of Practical for Continuous Evaluation

shall be as shown below.

Attendance 5 marks
Record 5 marks
Test 10 marks
Performance, Punctuality and Skill 5 marks
Total 25

The marks of a Course are consolidated by combining the marks of

ESE and.CE (75+25).

A minimum of 40% marks (E Grade )is required for passing a Course

with a separate minimum of 40%(E Grade) for Continuous Evaluation
and End Semester Evaluation.

Overall Grade in a Programme

Percentage of marks CCPA Letter Grade

90 and above >or = 9 A+ outstanding
80 to < 90 8to<9 A. Excellent
70 to < 80 7to< 8 B Very Good

50 to < 60 5 to < 6 D Satisfactory
40 TO < 50 4 TO< 5 E ADEQUATE
BELOW 40 <4 F FAILURE

The Marks of the Courses taken over and above the minimum pre-
scribed Credits, shall not be counted for computing CCPA.

8
For the successful completion of a Programme and award of the De-
gree, a student must pass all Courses satisfying the minimum Credit
requirement and must score a minimum CCPA of 4.00 or an overall
grade of E.

V. Open/Elective Courses
During the programme the students have to undergo two open/elective
courses. The students attached to the Physics department can opt one
course from the Physics department (Elective course) and the other
from any one of the other departments (Open course). The student has
to do the open course during the fifth semester and the elective course
during the sixth semester. As a beginning, the department will choose
one open course for the fifth semester and one elective course for the
sixth semester depending on the faculty and infrastructure available.
(a). Open Courses
i) Bio-Physics
ii) Astronomy & Astrophysics
iii) Applied Physics
iv) Environmental Physics
v) Energy Physics

(b). Elective Courses

i) Photonics
ii) Nano science
iii) Computer hardware and networking
iv) Instrumentation
v) Space Science
VI. Implementation of Project Work
As a part of study the candidate has to do a project work. The aim of
the project workis to bring out the talents of students and to introduce
research methodology. Thework may be chosen from any branch of
Physics, which may be experimental, theoreticalor computational. Em-
phasis should be given for originality of approach. The project shall be
done individually or as a group of maximum 5 students. The projects
are to be identified during the 4th semester with the help of the su-
pervising teacher. The report of the project (of about 30-40 pages) in
duplicate shall be submitted to the department by the end of the 6th se-
mester well before thecommencement of the examination. The reports
are to be produced before the external examiners.

Overview
The complementary course in the second semester continues the trend
indicated in the first, namely, laying emphasis on applications of inte-
gral calculus and vectors to problems in Physics. Module 1 consists
of various applications of integration techniques. It also covers multiple

• Use of definite integrals in finding area under curves, area between
two curves, volume of revolution, arc length and surface area of a
solid of revolution.

integrals of functions of two variables over bounded regions. Evalu-
ation of double integrals by iterated integrals.Evaluation by changing

Cartesian representation. Continuous vector functions and the idea
that such functions represent oriented space curves.Examples.
