project meets its deliverables and is completed within budget and on schedule.
To impart knowledge on various components, phases, and attributes of a project.
To prepare students to plan, develop, lead, manage, and successfully implement and deliver
projects within their chosen practice area.

elaborations related to performing projects.

Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)
The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is
50%. The minimum passing mark for the CIE is 40% of the maximum marks (20 marks out of 50)
and for the SEE minimum passing mark is 35% of the maximum marks (18 out of 50 marks). A
student shall be deemed to have satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted
to each subject/ course if the student secures a minimum of 40% (40 marks out of 100) in the sum
total of the CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End Examination) taken
together.
Continuous Internal Evaluation:
The CIE is the sum of Average of Two Internal Assessment Tests each of 25 marks and Any two
Assessment methods for 25 marks.
The first test will be administered after 40­50% of the syllabus has been covered, and the
second test will be administered after 85­90% of the syllabus has been covered
Any two assessment methods mentioned in the 22OB 2, if an assignment is project­based then
only one assignment for the course shall be planned. The teacher should not conduct two
assignments at the end of the semester if two assignments are planned.
For the course, CIE marks will be based on a scaled­down sum of two tests and other methods of
assessment for a total of 50 marks.
Internal Assessment Test question paper is designed to attain the different levels of Bloom’s
taxonomy as per the outcome defined for the course.
Semester­End Examination:
Theory SEE will be conducted by University as per the scheduled timetable, with common question
papers for the course (duration 03 hours).
1. The question paper will have ten questions. Each question is set for 20 marks.
2. There will be 2 questions from each module. Each of the two questions under a module (with a
maximum of 3 sub­questions), should have a mix of topics under that module.
3. The students have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module.
4. Marks scored shall be proportionally reduced to 50 marks.
