Grade corresponding to the % of marks obtained shall be given.

For the Theory Subjects during the semester, there shall be 2 mid-term examinations for 25

marks each. Each mid-term examination consists of one Objective section for 10 marks, plus

one Subjective section for 15 marks, with a total duration of 120 minutes. Further, there shall

Question Paper Pattern:

The semester end examinations (SEE) is conducted for 70 marks of 3 hours duration. The

syllabus for the theory courses is divided into FIVE units and each unit carries equal weightage

in terms of marks distribution. The question paper pattern is as follows. The emphasis on the

questions is broadly based on the following criteria:

 The semester end examinations (SEE) will be conducted for 70 marks consisting of two

parts viz. i) Part- A for 10 marks, ii) Part - B for 60 marks.

 Part-A is a compulsory question consisting of five sub-questions. The five questions are

from each unit and carry 2 marks each.

 Part-B consists of five questions carrying 12 marks each. Each of these questions is from

one unit and may contain sub-questions. For each question there will be an “either” “or”

choice, which means that there will be two questions from each unit and the student

should answer either of the two questions.

 For subjects like Engineering Graphics/Engineering Drawing, the SEE shall consist of

five questions. For each question there will be an “either” “or” choice, which means that

there will be two questions from each unit and the student should answer either of the

two questions. There shall be no Part – A, and Part – B system.

 For practical subjects there shall be a continuous internal evaluation during the semester

for 30 marks and 70 marks for semester end examination. Out of the 30 marks for

internal evaluation, day-to-day work in the laboratory shall be evaluated for 20 marks

and internal practical examination shall be evaluated for 10 marks conducted by the

laboratory teacher concerned. The semester end examination shall be conducted with an

external examiner and the laboratory teacher. The external examiner shall be appointed

from the clusters of colleges which are decided by the examination branch of the

University.
