Flexible In-semester Assessment Component (FISAC):
i) The FISAC 1 & FISAC 2 may be any of the types given in Table 1. However, tne two
components should be of different type.
ii) The type of assessment should be informed to the students well in advance.
iii) Syllabus for the last component of In-semester Assessment (ISAC) i.e. FISAC 2 should cover the
topics mentioned for self-study if any / topics which are not covered till MISAC 4: In-Semester
Exam 2.
