ideas. It helps them to develop a pragmatic attitude by allowing them to
decide what subjects they will opt for and what could be their possible
benefits. They get time to make a decision by calculating the risks &
advantages.
Course Objective - Integration of Knowledge and Skills: One objective of a multidisciplinary
course is to foster the integration of knowledge and skills from different
disciplines. By combining various areas of study, students can gain a
holistic understanding of a particular topic or problem. This objective aims
to break down the traditional boundaries between subjects and encourage
students to see connections and relationships across different fields.
- Promoting Critical Thinking and Problem Solving: Another objective is to
enhance students' critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
Multidisciplinary courses often involve complex real-world issues that
require a multifaceted approach. By engaging with diverse perspectives and
methodologies, students develop the capacity to analyze problems from
multiple angles, think creatively, and propose innovative solutions.
- Enhancing Collaboration and Communication Skills: Collaboration and
effective communication are essential skills in today's interconnected world.
Multidisciplinary courses aim to cultivate these skills by providing
opportunities for students to work collaboratively with peers from different
disciplines. Through group projects, discussions, and presentations, students
learn how to articulate their ideas, listen actively to others, and collaborate
effectively to achieve common goals. This objective prepares students for

government or private organizations, business organizations, artists, crafts persons, and similar entities to
provide opportunities for students to actively engage in on-site experiential learning. In option to these
internships, the student can avail such four credits by availing two 2-credit university approved courses
during any of these semesters. The student is required to enroll and avail these 4-credits and produce the
evidence in process to opt the multi-level exit option after successfully completion of first year ( two
semester ) or second year(four semesters).
 Guidelines for Question paper style

1) Ideally each unit of the course should carry equal weightage of marks. However, it will
vary upon the content of the units of the course.
2) The major and minor course’s question papers will carry 70 marks and of 3 hours of exam
duration.
3) The objective of the written/theory exams for all courses are to analyze the student’s
understanding about the course contents, assessing the conceptual knowledge about the
course contents and ability to explain the concepts in written forms.
4) As the practical exams are conducted separately and viva-voce is also a part of the practical
exam, the concepts and practical knowledge can be analyzed through the practical exams.
5) Since the subjects/courses are technical in nature, the major objective is to evaluate
conceptual and technical knowledge for major and minor courses instead of expecting
student’s ability to write lengthy literature writing skills and abilities.
6) 20% of questions are recommended to ask from objective/short questions types having
weightage of 1 to 2 marks per question. Purpose of such question is to analyze precise
understanding for the topics/points/concepts.
7) 30% of questions are expected to ask from short questions to answer in few lines having
weightage of 3 to 4 marks. Purpose of such questions are to analyze conceptual
understanding for the topics/points/concepts that can be describe in short.
8) 50% of questions are expected to ask from long/descriptive/Short-notes questions to
answer using charts/graphs/block diagrams/flowcharts/models having weightage of 5 to 7
marks. Purpose of such questions are to analyze the depth knowledge and ability to explain
in detail emphasizing technical knowledge.
