1. Each question paper for end-semester examination will be of 80 marks.                                                

2. The examiner should set nine questions in all. First Question will be compulsory and should be from the entire syllabus. Examiner should set two questions each from all the four units and the candidate is required to attempt one from each unit.                                                                                    First question will carry 20 marks and remaining four questions will be of 15 marks each.                      

3. Internal assessment of 20 marks will be distributed as follows:                                                              a. 5 marks for attendance                                                                                                                              b. 15 marks for class tests, assignments and presentations etc

Ek bar koshish to kar ke dekho hpu mein ki exam fir se de sakte hai , course pass kar sakte hai , mana karna Controller of exam ka kaam hai , ek baar puch ke to dekho ki is course ko clear kar sakte hai , nhi to degree waise bhi incomplete ya undone hai .

fail , undone course to rahenge hi , lekin agar is invalid course ko valid kar sakte hai , to usko shuruat karke dena chahiye .

I m not even 60% marks

Then I would wish to make 40% marks to 70% marks it

that is giving 4-5 exams where I may get 80 marks , to make it 70% marks it .

For PhD , I might need 60+ marks , and for foreign universities I might need 80% marks .
