Students will be assessed on

1. Continuous assessment in the form of;
Sessional Examination I (Weightage 13.33%) [Duration 1 hrs]
Sessional Examination II (Weightage 13.33%) [Duration 1 hrs]
Sessional Examination II (Weightage 13.33%) [Duration 1 hrs]
Assignments (Weightage 10%)
Assignments would be given periodically to test your level of understanding and how far
students are able to apply the principles and concepts taught in the class, to the given set of
problems in order to obtain meaningful solutions.
There would be 5 assignments totally at the rate of 1 per unit.

Each assignment will be given in the class before the start of the particular topic.
Each assignment carries equal weightage and should certainly meet the deadline. No marks
would be given for copying and late submission.
2. Final End semester examination (Weightage 50%) [Duration 3 hrs]
