Accumulated minimum credit required for successful completion of course shall be 80.
PROJECT
The Project in this Programme is to be done in the III & IV Semesters with a total credit
of 5 including Project Viva. (The general viva is given 3 credits). The work load of the Project is 5
hours each in III & IV Semesters.
The Project Report (Dissertation) should be self contained. It should contain an
introduction, necessary background and a reference list in addition to the main content. The main
content may be of length not less than 30 pages in the A4 format with one and half line spacing.
Question Paper Pattern for the written examinations of all other courses
For each course there will be an external examination of duration 3 hours. The valuation
will be done by Direct Grading System. Each question paper will consists of 14 short answer
questions, each of weightage 1, 10 paragraph type questions each of weightage 2 and 4 essay
type questions, each of weightage 4. All short answer questions are to be answered while 7
paragraph type questions and 2 essay type questions are to be answered with a total weightage of
36. The questions are to be evenly distributed over the entire syllabus.
