assignments of a Course carry 30% weightage while 70% weightage is given for term-end
examination.

TMAs for a four credit course. This Assignment booklet has TMAs for the inter-
disciplinarycourseBPAG-171–DisasterManagement, which is a six credit course. The booklet
therefore has three TMAs whose total marks add upto100 and carry a weightage of 30%.

Assignment A has Descriptive Category Questions (DCQs).These are meant for writing essay
type answers, with an introduction and a conclusion. These are intended to test your ability to
describe your understanding/knowledge about the topic in a systematic, to-the-point and
coherent manner.

Assignment B has Middle Category Questions (MCQs). These questions require you to first
analyse the topic in terms of arguments and explanations and then write the answers in a
