Assessment:
Internal Assessment (IA) for 20 marks:
 IA will consist of Two Compulsory Internal Assessment Tests. Approximately 40% to 50%
of syllabus content must be covered in First IA Test and remaining 40% to 50% of syllabus
content must be covered in Second IA Test

 Question paper format

 Question Paper will comprise of a total of six questions each carrying 20 marks Q.1 will
be compulsory and should cover maximum contents of the syllabus

 Remaining questions will be mixed in nature (part (a) and part (b) of each question must
be from different modules. For example, if Q.2 has part (a) from Module 3 then part (b)
must be from any other Module randomly selected from all the modules)

 A total of four questions need to be answered
