Scheme of Examination

It is presented on Table 1.

Evaluation

The performance of a student is evaluated in terms of percentage of marks with a

provision for conversion to grade points. Evaluation for each course shall be done by a

continuous internal assessment by the concerned course teacher as well as by an end semester

examination which will be a written type examination of 3 hours duration and will be

consolidated at the end of the course. The ratio of the marks to be allotted to continuous internal

assessment and to end semester examination is 25 : 75 (i.e. Internal 25 marks and External 75

marks ).

The components for continuous internal assessment are:

Two tests and their average ---15 marks

Seminar/Group Discussion --- 5 marks

Assignment --- 5 marks

Total --- 25 marks

Pattern of Question Paper

The question paper may have 3 parts.

Duration of the external examination is 3hours.

Part A

Ten questions (Objective type with 4 alternatives) 10 x 1 = 10 marks

(Two questions from each unit – No choice)

Part B

Five questions (either or type ) 5 x 7 = 35 marks

(One question from each unit)

(Answers not exceeding two pages)

Part C

Three questions out of five 3 x 10 =30 marks

(One question from each unit)

(Answers not exceeding four pages) ----------------

Total 75 marks

----------------


Passing Minimum

1. 40% of the aggregate (Internal + External)

2. No separate pass minimum for the Internal.

3. 27 marks out of 75 is the pass minimum for the External.
