Numerical should not be very lengthy to solve maximum
2 / 3 steps should be required for attempting the numerical.
Separate file for each type (A, B, C, D) should be made for each unit i.e. each unit will have 4 different files total number of files to be prepared = 16.
Online questions are strictly to be made in university open office format only.
Open office latest version can be free downloaded from google

MCQ FILE NOMENCLATURE FOR SUBMISSION
•Files should be named in following format strictly, for easy identification while submitting the question bank i.e.
Unit I Question Bank submission:
Unit 1 Type A – Name the file as A1.odt
Unit 1 Type B - Name the file as B1.odt
Unit 1 Type C - Name the file as C1.odt
Unit 1 Type D - Name the file as D1.odt
Unit 2 Question Bank submission:
Unit 2 Type A – Name the file as A2.odt
Unit 2 Type B - Name the file as B2.odt
Unit 2 Type C - Name the file as C2.odt
Unit 2 Type D - Name the file as D2.odt
Unit 3 Question Bank submission:
Unit 3 Type A – Name the file as A3.odt
Unit 3 Type B - Name the file as B3.odt
Unit 3 Type C - Name the file as C3.odt
Unit 3 Type D - Name the file as D3.odt

Why it is important naming the files
A1, A2, A3, A4 during the MCQ submission?
This would help in,
•Easy identification of the unit wise questions
•different faculty member should follow uniform nomenclature towards Multiple choice question contribution for online examination.
•Reduce the effort while compilation of the questions before submitting the same to the University.
