Evaluation Scheme:
Continuous Internal Evaluation – CIE
Event Event Type Marks Allotted Duration
CIE – 1 Written Test – 1 30 1 Hour
CIE – 2 Event 20 1 Hour
CIE – 3 Written Test – 2 30 1 Hour

Note:
1. The written test 1 & 2 (CIE – 1 & 3) both will be conducted for 30 marks each in 1 hour duration
and the marks scored will be reduced proportionately to 15 marks each.
2. The Event (CIE – 2) will be conducted for 20 marks and the marks scored will be reduced
proportionately to 10 marks.
3. The Event (CIE – 2) will be skill-based assessment such as Seminars / Technical talks / Case
study / hands-on activity / Mini projects / Sci-tech activity / Data analysis.
4. A student must score on an average of 50% i.e., 20 marks out of 40 from all the events (CIE - 1,
2, 3) to gain the eligibility to appear for SEE.

Semester End Examination – SEE

SEE Written Examination 100 3 Hours

Note:
1. The SEE will be conducted for 100 marks and the marks scored will be proportionately reduced
to 60 marks. A student must score a minimum of 25 marks out of 60 in the SEE to pass.
2. SEE Question paper will be set for 100 marks and will have two parts (Part-A & Part-B).
Questions under Part-A are compulsory and questions under Part-B will have internal choices.
