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). The minimum passing mark for the SEE is 35% of the
maximum marks (18 marks out of 50). A student shall be deemed to have satisfied the
academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/ course if the
student secures not less than 35% (18 Marks out of 50) in the semester-
endexamination (SEE), and 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 (CIE):The CIE marks for the theory
component of the IC shall be 30 marks and for the laboratory component 20 Marks.

CIE for the theory component of the IC

 Three Tests each of 20 Marks; after the completion of the syllabus of 35-40%,
65-70%, and 90-100% respectively.
 Two Assignments/two quizzes/ seminars/one field survey and report
presentation/one course project totaling 20 marks.

Total Marks scored (test + assignments) out of 80 shall be scaled down to 30 marks

CIE for the practical component of the IC

On completion of every experiment/program in the laboratory, the students shall be

evaluated and marks shall be awarded on the same day. The 15 marks are for
conducting the experiment and preparation of the laboratory record, the other 05
marks shall be for the test conducted at the end of the semester.

The CIE marks awarded in the case of the Practical component shall be based on the
continuous evaluation of the laboratory report. Each experiment report can be
evaluated for 10 marks. Marks of all experiments‟ write-ups are added and scaled
down to 15 marks.
The laboratory test (duration 03 hours) at the end of the 15th week of the semester
/after completion of all the experiments (whichever is early) shall be conducted for 50
marks and scaled down to 05 marks.

Scaled-down marks of write-up evaluations and tests added will be CIE marks for the
laboratory component of IC/IPCC for 20 marks.

The minimum marks to be secured in CIE to appear for SEE shall be 12 (40% of
maximum marks) in the theory component and 08 (40% of maximum marks) in the
practical component. The laboratory component of the IC/IPCC shall be for CIE only.

However, in SEE, the questions from the laboratory component shall be included. The
maximum of 05 questions is to be set from the practical component of IC/IPCC, the
total marks of all questions should not be more than 25 marks. The theory component
of the IC shall be for both CIE and SEE.

Semester End Examination (SEE):

SEE for IC

Theory SEE will be conducted by university as per the scheduled time table, 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 sub-questions), 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. The theory portion of the Integrated Course shall be for both CIE and SEE,
whereas the practical portion will have a CIE component only. Questions mentioned
in the SEE paper shall include questions from the practical component).

Passing standard:

The minimum marks to be secured in CIE to appear for SEE shall be 12 (40% of
maximum marks-30) in the theory component and 08 (40% of maximum marks -20)
in the practical component. The laboratory component of the IPCC shall be for CIE
only. However, in SEE, the questions from the laboratory component shall be
included. The maximum of 04/05 questions to be set from the practical component of
IPCC, the total marks of all questions should not be more than 30 marks.

SEE will be conducted for 100 marks and students shall secure 35% of the maximum
marks to qualify for the SEE. Marks secured will be scaled down to 50.
