Evaluation
The performance of a student is evaluated in terms of percentage of marks with a
provision for conversion to grade points. Evaluation for each course shall be done by a
continuous internal assessment by the concerned course teacher as well as by an end semester
examination which will be a written type examination of 3 hours duration and will be
consolidated at the end of the course. The ratio of the marks to be allotted to continuous
internal assessment and to end semester examination is 25 : 75 (i.e. Internal 25 marks and
External 75 marks ).
The components for continuous internal assessment are :
Two tests and their average ---15 marks
Seminar/Group Discussion
--- 5 marks
Assignment
--- 5 marks

Subjects of study and scheme of examination
The papers offered under the Allied subject – Physics for one year (two semesters)
and the scheme of examination are placed on Table – 5.
Evaluation
The performance of a student is evaluated in terms of percentage of marks with a
provision for conversion to grade points. Evaluation for each course shall be done by a
continuous internal assessment by the concerned course teacher as well as by an external
examination which will be a written type examination of 3 hours duration and will be
consolidated at the end of the course. The ratio of the marks to be allotted to continuous
internal assessment and to end semester examination is 25: 75 (i.e. Internal 25 marks and
External 75 marks).
