The scheme of examination for the revised courses in the subject of Mathematics at the Second Year
B.A./B.Sc. will be as follows.

Scheme of Examination

The performance of the learners shall be evaluated into two parts. The learners performance shall
be assessed by Internal Assessment with 40% marks in the first part by conducting the Semester
End Examinations with 60% marks in the second part. The allocation of marks for the Internal
Assessment and Semester End Examinations are as shown below:-

(a) Internal assessment 40%

 1. There shall be four questions each of 15 marks.
2. On each unit there will be one question and the fourth one will be based on entire
syllabus.
3. All questions shall be compulsory with internal choice within the questions.
4. Each question may be subdivided into sub-questions a, b, c, and the allocations of marks
depend on the weightage of the topic.
5. Each question will be of 20 to 23 marks when marks of all the subquestions are added
(including the options) in that question.
Questions Marks
Q1 Based on Unit I 15
Q2 Based on Unit II 15
Q3 Based on Unit III 15
Q4 Based on Unit I,II,III 15
Total Marks 60

Guidelines about conduct of Tutorials/Assignments:

1. Tutorials

Conduct and Evaluation: The tutorials should be conducted in batches formed as per the
University circular. The tutorial session should consist of discussion between the teacher
and the students in which students should participate actively. Each tutorial session should
be evaluated out of 10 marks on basis of participation of student and the average of total
aggregate should be taken.

2. Assignments:

Conduct and Evaluation: The topic of the assignment and the questions should be given to
the students at least one week in advance. The assignment should be such that it can be
completed in 45 - 50 minutes by a student. The teachers may resolve the doubts of the
students during the week, after which the students should submit the assignment. Each
assignment should be evaluated out of 10 marks and the average of the total aggregate
should be taken.
