(i) Preface

“Experience is the best teacher” in every department and it plays pivotal role in
our curriculum. Every study is incomplete without exposed to real world and
get the practical knowledge. Knowledge in itself is a continuous process, there
maybe some of areas which maybe remain uncovered in study but knowledge
makes it possible and easier.
