CIE Assessment:
CIE is based on quizzes, tests, assignments/seminars and any other form of evaluation. Generally,
there will be: Three Internal Assessment (IA) tests during the semester (30 marks each), the final
IA marks to be awarded will be the average of three tests
- Quizzes/mini tests (4 marks)
- Mini Project / Case Studies (8 Marks)
- Activities/Experimentations related to courses (8 Marks)
SEE Assessment:
i. Question paper for the SEE consists of two parts i.e. Part A and Part B. Part A is compulsory and
consists of objective type or short answer type questions of 1 or 2 marks each for total of 20 marks
covering the whole syllabus.
ii. Part B also covers the entire syllabus consisting of five questions having choices and may contain
sub-divisions, each carrying 16 marks. Students have to answer five full questions.
iii. One question must be set from each unit. The duration of examination is 3 hours.
