Internal Assessment:
Assessment consists of two class tests of 20 marks each. The first class test is to be conducted
when approximately 40% syllabus is completed and second class test when additional 40%
syllabus is completed. The average marks of both the test will be considered for final Internal
Assessment. Duration of each test shall be of one hour.

End Semester Examination:

1. Question paper will comprise of 6 questions, each carrying 20 marks.
2. The students need to solve total 4 questions.
3. Question No.1 will be compulsory and based on entire syllabus.
4. Remaining question (Q.2 to Q.6) will be selected from all the modules.
