Mid Semester Examination (MSE): Theory Papers:

The MSE is conducted for 50 marks of 2 hours duration.

Question paper pattern; Five out of Six questions have to be answered. Each question carries 10 marks

End Semester Examination (ESE):

The ESE is conducted for 100 marks of 3 hours duration.

The syllabus for the theory papers are divided into FIVE units and each unit carries equal Weightage in terms of marks distribution.

Question paper pattern is as follows.

Two full questions with either or choice will be drawn from each unit. Each question carries 20 marks. There could be a maximum of three sub divisions in a question. The emphasis on the questions is to test the objectiveness, analytical skill and application skill of the concept, from a question bank which reviewed and updated every year

The criteria for drawing the questions from the Question Bank are as follows

50 % - Medium Level questions

25 % - Simple level questions

25 % - Complex level questions

Internships are short-term work experiences that will allow  a student to observe and participate in professional work environments and explore how his interests relate to possible careers. They are important learning opportunities through industry exposure and practices.   More specifically, doing internships is beneficial because they provide the opportunity to:

• Get an inside view of an industry and organization/company
• Gain valuable skills and knowledge
• Make professional connections and enhance student's network
• Get experience in a field to allow the student  to make a career transition

REGULATIONS

1.The student shall undergo an Internship for 60 days  starting from the end of 2nd semester examination and completing it during the initial period of 7th semester.

2.The department shall nominate a faculty as a mentor for a group of students to prepare and monitor the progress of  the students

3. The students shall report the progress of the internship to the mentor/guide at regular intervals and may seek his/her advise.

All students should complete internship either in Industry/Research labs before 3^rd semester. This component carries 2 credits.
