These are assessments to check the general and up to date knowledge that students possess on the ecology and development front. These assessments intend to drive students to look at ecology from a inter-disciplinary background keeping the contemporary nature of development very much in the loop. As a result it will provide the students a platform to bridge the theoretical contours of ecology and development explained through classroom lectures with practical knowledge of theirs with their own everyday lived life and media reports.
