4.0 PEDAGOGY :
In addition to the Didactic Teaching/ Learning methodology a step ahead
students are asked to complete the Assignments and attending in the Class
tests and Quiz Examinations.
5.0 EVALUATION OF GRADING :
Students will be evaluated based on the following 3 stages.
5.1 Internal Assessment
5.2 Mid term Examination

4. 5.3 End term Examination
5.1. Internal Assessment : Weightage – 30%
Internal Assessment shall be done based on the following:
5.1.1 DISCIPLINE: Discipline of a student is very important in the
Class/Campus. This is considered t be a most
important
one.
5.1.2. ASSIGNMENT: After completion of each unit or at the Middle of the
Unit
i.e, until the covered syllabus, they have to submit the
Assignment with in the given time. Those who not
submit
the assignment by the due date shall be penalized
through deduction of marks
5.1.3 QUIZ: In addition to the Class tests Three Quiz examinations to
be held during Semester. Average of Best Two will be
considered for evaluating students who absent for Quiz
will lose their marks.
5.2. Mid Term Examination – weightage – 20%
Mid Term examination shall be Two Hours duration and shall be a combination
of Short and Long theory Questions.
5.3. End Term examinations – Weightage – 50%

5. End Term examination shall be Three Hours duration and shall be a
combination of Short and Long theory Questions.
6.0 GRADING :
The overall marks obtained at the end of the semester comprising all the above
three mentioned shall be converted to a grade by the faculty.
7.0. ATTENDANCE :
Students are required to have a minimum attendance of 75% in the subject.
Students with less than the stipulated percentage shall not be allowed to appear
in the End Semester examination
