No. Component Duration CB/OB Marks (%) Date

1 Continuous evaluation – ---- OB 30% 2 Quizzes dates to be announced.

4 Comprehensive Exam 3 hours CB 40% 6/7/23 FN

7. Make-up Policy: Application for Make-up will be considered only for Mid-Sem and Comprehensive
Examination. An application in writing with relevant certificates attached (medical from Campus
Medical center or SWD) needs to be submitted to the IC of the course at least a day before the
scheduled exam. No make-up will be given for surprise tests, tutorials, labs and quizzes. (no
exceptions)
8. Attendance Policy: Since BITS, Pilani is a residential campus; students are expected to engage in
all regular and special lectures/tutorials as announced by the instructors. Attendance and class
participation of the student will be considered during final grading and will be based on sole
discretion of the instructors.
9. Grading notice: All students registered in the course are expected to appear for all evaluation
components. Per section 4.19 of the BITS, Pilani Academic regulations, NC may be given to students
if they fail to provide a chance for the instructor to evaluate their progress in the class. Absence in
any evaluation components without the prior consent of the instructor or submitting blank or
incomplete/incoherent answer books may present grounds for awarding NC in the course.
10. Honor code and disciplinary action: All submissions by students in this class towards quizzes,
tests, and tutorials will be considered their original and individual work. It will be assumed that the
students have not resorted to unfair means during the evaluation. If malpractice is discovered, the
strictest action will be initiated against the student.
11. Announcements: Course management and announcements will be handled through the BITS
moodle webpage. However, since 100% class attendance is expected, there might be a delay
between class announcements to the information appearing on the moodle webpage.
12. Chamber consultation hours: Individual instructors will announce in class.
