Dear Student,
Please read the section on assignments in the Programme Guide for M.Sc. (Physics). A
weightage of 30 per cent, as you are aware, has been earmarked for continuous evaluation,
which would consist of one tutor-marked assignment for this course. The assignment is in
this booklet. The total marks for this assignment is 100, of which 40 marks are needed to pass
it.
Before attempting the assignment please read the following instructions carefully:
1) On top of the first page of your answer sheet, please write the details exactly in the following
format:
2) Use only foolscap size writing paper (but not of very thin variety) for writing your answers.
3) Leave 4 cm margin on the left, top and bottom of your answer sheet.
4) Your answers should be precise.
5) Submit the complete assignment answer sheets containing Part A and Part B, within
the due date.
6) The assignment answer sheets are to be submitted to your Study Centre as per the
schedule. Answer sheets received after the due date shall not be accepted. We
strongly suggest that you retain a copy of your answer sheets.
7) This assignment is valid from 1st January 2024 to 31st December 2024. If you have failed
in this assignment or fail to submit it by December 31, 2024, then you need to get the
assignment for the year 2025, and submit it as per the instructions given in the Programme
Guide.
8) You cannot fill the examination form for this course until you have submitted this
assignment. For any queries, please contact: [email protected] or
[email protected]. Please note that we do not provide answers to the questions in this
Assignment.
We wish you good luck.
