Objective
Information Technology is collectively the technology associated with communication, processing and
storing of information. Materials are the building blocks for these technologies. Therefore, search for new
materials and study of their properties, useful for information technology field, has become an area of
current interest to the scientists and technologists. The present course aims at giving the students a basic
knowledge necessary for understanding of electric, magnetic and optical properties of materials used in
Information Technology.

Learning outcome:
The course will make the basic understanding of properties of different Information Technology materials
and hence build up a suitable foundation for the understanding of design and working of communication,
processing and storage devices fabricated with these materials.

submissions will be accepted with a penalty in the form of deduction of 50% of the obtained marks in the
concerned assignment. The deadline for late submission will be two days after the first deadline.
Thereafter, no submissions will be accepted.

Evaluation Scheme: The following evaluation mechanism will be adopted:


Instrument Duration Weightage
1. Test 1 1 hour 15%
2. Test 2 1 hour 30Minutes 25%
