THEI0RY EXAMINATION:1. Question Paper will comprise of total seven questions, each of 20 marks
2. Only five question need to be solved.
3. Question one will be compulsory and based on maximum parts of syllabus.
4. Remaining question will be mixed in nature (for example supposed Q.2 has part (a) from module
3 then part (b) will be any module other than module 3)
5. In question paper weight age of each module will be proportional to number of respective lecture
Hours as mentioned in the syllabus
