Scheme of Examination
It is presented on Table 1.
Evaluation
The performance of a student is evaluated in terms of percentage of marks with a
provision for conversion to grade points. Evaluation for each course shall be done by a
continuous internal assessment by the concerned course teacher as well as by an end semester
examination which will be a written type examination of 3 hours duration and will be
consolidated at the end of the course. The ratio of the marks to be allotted to continuous internal
assessment and to end semester examination is 25 : 75 (i.e. Internal 25 marks and External 75
marks ).
The components for continuous internal assessment are:
Two tests and their average ---15 marks
Seminar/Group Discussion --- 5 marks
Assignment --- 5 marks
Total --- 25 marks
Pattern of Question Paper
The question paper may have 3 parts.
Duration of the external examination is 3hours.
Part A
Ten questions (Objective type with 4 alternatives) 10 x 1 = 10 marks
(Two questions from each unit – No choice)
Part B
Five questions (either or type ) 5 x 7 = 35 marks
(One question from each unit)
(Answers not exceeding two pages)
Part C
Three questions out of five 3 x 10 =30 marks
(One question from each unit)
(Answers not exceeding four pages) ----------------
Total 75 marks
----------------
SRNMC Regulation - 2013 Syllabus
Passing Minimum
1. 40% of the aggregate (Internal + External)
2. No separate pass minimum for the Internal.
