Note
i. More Practical Exercises can be designed and offered by the respective course
teacher to develop the industry relevant skills/outcomes to match the COs. The above
table is only a suggestive list.
ii. Care must be taken in assigning and assessing study report as it is a first year study
report. Study report, data collection and analysis report must be assigned in a group.
Teacher has to discuss about type of data (which and why) before group start their
market survey.
The following are some sample ‘Process’ and ‘Product’ related skills (more may be
added/deleted depending on the course) that occur in the above listed Practical Exercises
of this course required which are embedded in the COs and ultimately the competency.
