Scheme for Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE-Theory): CIE consists of

THREE tests for 40 marks (15 marks quiz+25 marks descriptive) out of which best
TWO (as a set) will be considered. In addition, 20 marks to be earned through self-
study.
Scheme for semester end examination (SEE-Theory): The question paper consists
of part A and part B. Part A will be for 20 marks covering the complete syllabus and
Part B will be for 80 marks and shall consists for FIVE questions carrying 16 marks
each. All FIVE from part B will have internal choices and one of the two have to be
answered compulsorily.
