Scheme of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE):-

CIE consists of two tests each for a maximum of 45 marks. The performance of average of two
tests is considered and is scaled for a maximum of 15 marks.2 MCQs carries 10 marks each and
is scaled down to 5 marks. Assignments carry 5 marks. Case Discussion/ Presentation/ Analysis
carries 5 marks. Total 30 marks.
Scheme of Semester End Examination (SEE):-

The question paper consists of one question from unit 1 and one question from unit 2, unit 3, 4
and 5 will be given with two questions of internal choice each for a maximum of 14 marks with
two to three sub divisions. The students are required to answer five full questions (1 & 2
Compulsory, 3, 4, 5 internal choice).
