Scheme of Continuous Internal Evaluation:
CIE is executed by the way of Tests (T), Laboratory component (LC), Experiential learning (EL).
The two tests are conducted for 50 marks each and the sum of the marks scored from two tests is
reduced to 50. The marks for LC is 30 and EL is 20. Total CIE is 50(T) +30(LC) +20(EL) =100
Marks. The topics for EL will be given by course coordinators.
Scheme of Semester End Examination:
SEE for 100 marks is executed by means of an semester end examination. The Question paper for the
course contains total eight questions of 20 marks each. Students have to answer any five out of eight
questions. From each unit one question will come which makes it to five questions. Remaining three
questions may come from any of the five units.
