Guidelines for Laboratory Conduction

 Lab Assignments: Following is list of suggested laboratory assignments for reference. Laboratory
Instructors may design suitable set of assignments for respective course at their level. Beyond
curriculum assignments and mini-project may be included as a part of laboratory work. The instructor
may set multiple sets of assignments and distribute among batches of students. It isappreciated if
the assignments are based on real world problems/applications. The Inclusion of few optional
assignments that are intricate and/or beyond the scope of curriculum will surely be the value addition
for the students and it will satisfy the intellectuals within the group of the learners and will add to the
perspective of the learners. For each laboratory assignment, it is essential for students to
draw/write/generate flowchart, algorithm, test cases, mathematical model, Test data set and
comparative/complexity analysis (as applicable). Batch size for practical and tutorial may be as per
guidelines of authority.
 Term Work–Term work is continuous assessment that evaluates a student's progress throughout
the semester. Term work assessment criteria specify the standards that must be met and the
evidence that will be gathered to demonstrate the achievement of course outcomes. Categorical
assessment criteria for the term work should establish unambiguous standards of achievement for
each course outcome. They should describe what the learner is expected to perform in the
laboratories or on the fields to show that the course outcomes have been achieved. It is
recommended to conduct internal monthly practical examination as part of continuous assessment.
 Assessment:Students’ work will be evaluated typically based on the criteria like attentiveness,
proficiency in execution of the task, regularity, punctuality, use of referencing, accuracy of language,
use of supporting evidence in drawing conclusions, quality of critical thinking and similar
performance measuring criteria.
 Laboratory Journal- Program codes with sample output of all performed assignments are to be
 submitted as softcopy. Use of DVD or similar media containing students programs maintained by
Laboratory In-charge is highly encouraged. For reference one or two journals may be maintained
with program prints in the Laboratory. As a conscious effort and little contribution towards Green IT
and environment awareness, attaching printed papers as part of write-ups and program listing to
journal may be avoided. Submission of journal/ term work in the form of softcopy is desirable and
appreciated.
