The purposes of assessment is to measure the extent to which students have achieved the
learning outcomes of the programmed based on this curriculum Statements. An external
examination is recommended at the end of year. The syllabus division is suggested as
shown below:
Sections Marks Weightage
1. Mechanics Chapter 1 to 10 54 45.37 %
2. Heat Chapter 11 10 8.40%
3. Oscillations Chapter 12 to 13 10 8.40%
4. Optics Chapter 14 10 8.40%
5. Electricity and Magnetism Chapter 15 to17 21 17.64%
6. Atomic & Nuclear Physics Chapter 18 and 19 14 11.76%
The Examination:
The theory examination is suggested to consist of two parts each containing a wide
variety of types of questions. Together the paper should be designed to examine the
candidates understanding of the whole syllabus and should test the following range of
abilities.
Knowledge and understanding (recall 30%) 60%
Higher abilities (handling information, 20%
Applications, and problem solving etc.) 30%
