Examination pattern for theory
End semester examination (ESE)● A student is eligible to appear for the ESE only if she/he has put in 85% of attendance and satisfactory performance in the continuous internal assessment. ● The question paper shall be set for 100 marks. These marks will then be reduced to 50% of the total marks assigned for the paper. ● There is no provision for taking improvement exams. If a student fails in an ESE paper, he/she can take the exam again the next time it is offered. ● The practical examination shall be conducted with an internal (batch teacher) and an external examiner. ● A minimum of 75 percent of the allotted experiments should be completed by each student to be eligible to attend practical ESE. The fair record of each experiment is to be attested by the lab faculty in charge in the same week. Examination pattern for practical
Assessment scheme for end semester practical examinationPrinciple, procedure, circuit : 10 Experimental setup, wiring : 10 Taking readings : 10 Graphs, calculations and results : 10 Viva related to the experiment : 10 Total marks : 50 Assessment of DissertationDissertation will be group work, guided by faculty. Objective is to develop aptitude for research and independent learning. In the third semester, the student is expected to carry out a literature survey and select unresolved problems in the domain of the selected research topic. Also, gain the expertise to use tools and techniques for the objectives of the study. Assessment in 3rd Semester: Continuous evaluation, 8 hours per week. Students should maintain a project diary. MSE: Presentation and submission of progress report in any peer-reviewed journal format. ESE: Oral and poster presentation and submission of the report in any peer-reviewed journal format.
Guidelines for Learner Centric (LC) Course
Assessment metrics CIA I - 20 marks (Research Based Assessment, Submission type assignment). CIA II - 20 marks (Descriptive type test and problem solving, Submission type). CIA III - 20 marks (Experiential learning, Submission type). ESE - 50 marks (Descriptive/Problem solving, Written type, finally converted to 40 marks). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Examination And Assesments | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Continuous internal assessment (CIA) forms 50% and the end semester examination forms the other 50% of the marks in both theory and practical. For the Holistic and Seminar course, there is no end semester examination and hence the mark is awarded through CIA. CIA marks are awarded based on their performance in assignments (written material to be submitted and valued), mid-semester examination (MSE), and class assignments (quiz, presentations, problem solving, etc.). The mid-semester examination and the end semester examination for each theory paper will be for two- and three-hours duration respectively. The CIA for practical sessions is done on a day-to-day basis depending on their performance in the pre-lab, the conduct of the experiment, and presentation of lab reports. Only those students who qualify with minimum required attendance and CIA marks will be allowed to appear for the end semester examination. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

In the framework of the Master's dissertation course, the students will explore various aspects of initiating and executing a research project. This course includes the stages of defining a topic and formulating a problem statement, selecting and reviewing relevant literature, designing an empirical study as well as performing it, including data collection and analysis, make theoretical conclusions, and finally writing a report called Master's dissertation.
Continuation of the same work done in III semester and guided by the same faculty. The students are encouraged to communicate their work and result in conferences and/or in peer-reviewed journals. Research Advisory Committee will assess the work based on oral and poster presentations. The students are expected to defend their research work in front of RAC. The final dissertation report is to be submitted to the department. |
