Assessments:
Teachers Assessment based on - Quiz/Home assignments/Mini Projects/any other (10%), called as In
Semester Evaluation (ISE).
Two examinations, for continuous evaluation during the term, SE I & SE II (20% each). Each
examination will be of one hour duration and will be assessed for 20 Marks on 33% of the syllabus
covered (between start of the term and first examination, generally based on Module 1 and 2 for SE I
and between first & second examination, generally based on Module 3 and 4 for SE II).
ESE (50%) The semester end examination of two hours duration and will be assessed for 50 Marks
and would be on entire syllabus with weightage 20% each for the syllabus of SE I (module 1 and 2)and
SE II (Module 3 and 4) and 60% on the syllabus covered after SE II (Module 5 and 6).
