1. Objectives of the Course

Python is an open-source, high-level, dynamically-typed, portable, expressive, easy to learn, and well known
programming language. Python is available as an open-source offerring and is associated with large global
community support. Top companies such as Google, Yahoo!, Pinterest, Disney, Nokia, IBM have python as one
of their main programming language. This course provides a wide scope of learning & understanding of python
programming . The main objectives of the course are:
 To understand about writing algorithms and step by step approach in solving problems.
 To understand the basics of python in order to solve any problem(s).
 Design and implementation of logic building programs using python constructs.
 To understand concepts of searching and sorting techniques.
 Design and develop real time python project.

Type of Component
Component Assessments Component Assessment
Component 1 Lab Evaluations 02* 30% Offline
Component 2 Sessional Tests (STs) 02** 20% Offline
Component 3 End Term Examination 01*** 50% Offline
Total 100%
* Lab Evaluation is mandatory evaluation taken twice in a semester, one will be considered as mid term evaluation and another one will
be final evaluation based on developed project.
** Out of 02 STs, the ERP system automatically picks the best 01 ST.
***It is mandatory to complete Coding Ninja Modules and Tests. Further, as per Academic Guidelines minimum 75% attendance is
required to become eligible for appearing in the End Semester Examination.
