2.
The Mid Term and Final Term examinations are of 1-1/2 and 2 hours duration
respectively. They can be Open Book, Open Ended, and / or Take Home Examination. However,
based on experience it has been deduced that Open Ended is the best and most suitable form of
examination. It benefits a large majority of students. However, the subject remains open and
consensus would be taken prior deciding on a mode of examination. The paper invariably would
include MCQs., fill-in-the blanks, true / false and few subjective questions.
