4. Question Paper and Writing the Answers:
4.1 For 3.00 credit course, the normal time for answering the question paper is 3 hours, and
for 1 or 1.5 credit course, it is 2 hours. However, additional time of 30 minutes is being
provided for complying with the submission modalities.
4.2 It is compulsory to write the answers on only A4 size papers. Please ensure that the
picture file created from the write-up is legible. Use only blue coloured pen for writing
the answers.
4.3 It is compulsory to write your Roll No., Course Code and Course Name and Date of
Examination on the front page of answer sheet.
4.4 You are required to write your Roll Number on top right of each page.
4.5 Read the instructions appearing along with this question paper and follow these
instructions carefully. Also, note down the ‘cut-off date and time’.
4.6 PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU HAVE TO ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS IN HAND-
WRITTEN MODE, FIRST. THEN, YOU WILL CONVER IT INTO A PDF FOR
UPLOADING.
4.7 On clicking the question paper, a PDF file will be downloaded on your computer. If you
face any problems in downloading it, then please inform the course faculty through
email/SMS/WhatsApp. In case of any such problems, please do not lose patience as the
faculty would be busy answering many such queries, particularly in first half an hour
from the scheduled start time. As a matter of fact, additional time of half an hour is
provided keeping in mind such exigencies. Therefore, no extension of time will be
considered under such normal/routine problems.
4.8 Make it a point to submit the answers as soon as you complete them. Keeping them on
hold for editing later may result into a disaster in the sense that towards the completion of
the time, you may face connectivity and other such problems, and cannot submit your
work. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT ADDITIOANL HALF AN HOUR IS ONLY A
GRACE TIME FOR COMPLYING WITH SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS. Moodle
will stop accepting submissions after the grace period of half an hour. However, if you
fail to submit due to any technical problems during that period, please immediately write
 a mail to the concerned faculty citing valid reasons for allowing you to submit your work
through mail. Upon receiving the permission from the faculty, immediately submit
through mail. The faculty will communicate to you to again submit it on Moodle at a
specified time for the purpose of record. Towards that, the faculty will again open the
submission window for a short duration. Requests received with only valid reasons
during the grace period of half an hour will be considered by the faculty. Any late
submissions without the permission will not be considered.
5 Uploading the Answers:
5.1 Please note that you have to upload answers in either a single file or question-wise
multiple files as instructed by the faculty. Accordingly, one or more submission
windows/slots will be created. In case of question-wise submissions, say if there are five
questions, then five submission windows will be made available to you. Please ensure
that you submit the right question to the right window.
5.2 You will have to take pictures of the page-wise write-ups. Ensure that the picture covers
the entire page with some open margins on all the four sides.
5.3 Ensure that a particular answer running into any number of pages is compiled as only one
PDF. Towards that, you may use any App like Adobe Scan. As an illustration, the use of
the Adobe Scan App is illustrated below.
- It can be easily downloaded from the Play Store in any android or iOS device. The link to
the same is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.scan.android
- After downloading the application, you need to click the pictures in the mode of
document and the same can be saved as a PDF. The application also gives the option of
sharing the copy and saving it to different devices.
6. In order to avoid any problems at the time of submission, you are advised to practice creating
such a PDF file that has more than one pages.
7. Noncompliance of the instructions will attract penalty in the form of not considering the
submission for the assessment.
8. If the LMS does not open in Google/Chrome, then try with Firefox. In case of any technical
problems, please consult Mr. Anand Christian (anand@nirmauni.ac.in) and Mr. Digant
Mandavia (digant.mandavia@nirmauni.ac.in).
