Evaluation Methods:
1. Marks: Total marks 100, Contribution of Theory 60% and Lab 40%.
Theory (100%):
o Class Performance & Attendance, 20%
o Quiz, 40%
o Exam, 40%.
Lab (100%):
o Class Performance & Attendance, 10%
o Quiz, 30%

2. Quiz: In each term (Mid-term/Final-term) of the semester, 3 Quiz tests will be taken in
Theory Class of which Best 2 will count for results and 2 Quiz tests will be taken in Lab Class
of which Best 1 will count for results.
3. Make-up Class/Quiz: If any schedule class is postponed in case of unavoidable situation, the
make-up class will be held immediately at a suitable time. There will be no make-up quiz or
lab except a strong reason for that.
Course Requirements
