I. Internal Assessment (IA): 30 Marks
– Two class test (12 marks each), and
– 6 marks for attendance
II. Continuous Assessment (CA): 40 Marks
– 1 Problem Solving for 10 marks
– At least 2 quizzes/assignments, adding up to total 25 marks.
– 5 Marks for attendance.
III. The end semester exam: 90 Marks
– There will not be multiple sections.
There will be 10 questions (each of 10 marks), out of which 9 must be answered. A question may have no more than 2 sub-parts.
The coverage of material in the exam will roughly correspond to the unit wise weights in terms of teaching times.
