Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE); Theory (100 Marks)
CIE is executed by way of quizzes (Q), tests (T) and Experiential Learning (EL). A minimum of three
quizzes are conducted and each quiz is evaluated for 10 marks adding up to 30 marks. All quizzes are
conducted online. Faculty may adopt innovative methods for conducting quizzes effectively. The
number of quizzes may be more than three also. The three tests are conducted for 50 marks each and
the sum of the marks scored from three tests is reduced to 50. The marks component for experiential
learning is 20.
Total CIE is 30(Q) +50(T) +20(EL) =100 Marks.

Semester End Evaluation (SEE); Theory (100 Marks)


SEE for 100 marks is executed by means of an examination. The Question paper for the course contains
two parts, Part A and Part B. Part A consists of objective type questions for 20 marks covering the
complete syllabus. Part B consists of five main questions, one from each unit for 16 marks adding up
to 80 marks. Each main question may have sub questions. The question from Units I, IV and V have no
internal choice. Units II and III have internal choice in which both questions cover entire unit having
same complexity in terms of COs and Bloom’s taxonomy level.
