I. COURSE OVERVIEW:
This course provides an introduction to the field of network security. Specific topics to be
examined include threats and vulnerabilities to network architectures and protocols. The course is
designed to provide fundamental skills needed to analyze the internal and external security
threats against a network, and to develop security policies that will protect an organization’s
information. Students will learn how to evaluate network and Internet security issues and design.

VI. EVALUATION METHODOLOGY:

The course will be evaluated for a total of 100 marks, with 25 marks for Continuous Internal
Assessment (CIA) and 75 marks for Semester End Examination (SEE). Out of 25 marks allotted
for CIA during the semester, marks are awarded by taking average of two CIA examinations or
the marks scored in the make-up examination.
Page | 1
 Semester End Examination (SEE): The SEE is conducted for 75 marks of 3 hours duration.
The syllabus for the theory courses is divided into five units and each unit carries equal
weightage in terms of marks distribution. The question paper pattern is as follows. Two full
questions with “either‟ or ‟choice” will be drawn from each unit. Each question carries 10
marks. There could be a maximum of two sub divisions in a question.

The emphasis on the questions is broadly based on the following criteria:

50 % To test the objectiveness of the concept.
50 % To test the analytical skill of the concept OR to test the application skill of the concept.

Continuous Internal Assessment (CIA):

CIA is conducted for a total of 25 marks (Table 1), with 20 marks for Continuous Internal
Examination (CIE), 05 marks for Quiz/ Alternative Assessment Tool (AAT).

Continuous Internal Examination (CIE):

Two CIE exams shall be conducted at the end of the 8 th and 16th week of the semester respectively. The
CIE exam is conducted for 25 marks of 2 hours duration consisting of two parts. Part–A shall
have five compulsory questions of one mark each. In part–B, four out of five questions have to
be answered where, each question carries 5 marks. Marks are awarded by taking average of
marks scored in two CIE exams.

Quiz / Alternative Assessment Tool (AAT):

Two Quiz exams shall be online examination consisting of 20 multiple choice questions and are
be answered by choosing the correct answer from a given set of choices (commonly four).
Marks shall be awarded considering the average of two quizzes for every course. The AAT may
include seminars, assignments, term paper, open ended experiments, five minutes video and
MOOCs.
