● Missing labs due to holidays should be compensated by conducting extra labs during

the same week and should be announced well in advance to all students.

Lab Instructions (Procedure):

1. Every lab module (M-1 to M-8) starts with the explanation and demonstration of

sample programs by the lab instructor along with doubt clearing during the online

lab session scheduled as per the time-table.

2. The second subsequent online lab will be used to evaluate the exercises completed by

a student of that particular module. At least 4 teams for every section consisting of 3

members (AL, RS, M. Tech(R), M. Tech) can be formed to evaluate the students’ work.

Supporting teams details can be found here.

Example:

Module M-1 (no report submission) explanation with the demo will be done by the

respective lab section instructor during 3rd May - 7th May 2021 (online lab of the

respective sections).

For module M-2 onwards, one lab will be used for explanation and demo by the

respective section lab instructor, followed by the subsequent lab for the evaluation.

(Example: Section-1, module M-2 explanation and demo will be on 10th May 2021 and

evaluation will be on 17th May 2021. Further, on or before 16th May 2021 section-1

students’ should upload the report through the IRIS.)

3. Regular evaluation lab’s MS Teams link should be updated here by the RS which will

be monitored by the lab instructor.

4. Regular lab evaluations (marks) should be updated regularly here by the lab

 instructor. The guidelines for regular lab evaluations can be found here.

5. Every student will be given a week's time to complete at least 6 exercises: 3 from each

submodule (extra can be used for practice) listed in a particular module (refer to sl.

no. 11) and upload a pdf file consisting of source code and snapshot of the results with

the file name <reg. no.>-<Module-No.>.pdf. (Eg. 21CS01-M1.pdf).
