of three tests is considered and is scaled for a maximum of 20 marks, 5 marks will be given
based on class attendance and 5 marks will be given based on MCQ. Total internal marks will
be 30 marks.
The question paper consists of one question from Module 1 and one question from Module 2,
Module 3, 4 and 5 will be given with two questions of internal choice each for a maximum of
14 marks with two to three sub divisions. The students are required to answer five full
questions (1 & 2 Compulsory, 3, 4,5 internal choice).
