1.1- CLASS TESTS/QUIZZES: Two Class Tests based on descriptive type theoretical & numerical
questions and Two Quizzes based on objective type questions will be held; one class test and one
quiz atleast ten days before the Mid Term Examination and second class test and second quiz
atleast ten days before the End Term Examination. Those who do not appear in Viva-Voce and quiz
examinations shall lose their marks.

The marks obtained by the students will be displayed on LMS a week before the start of Mid
Term and End Term Examinations respectively.

1.2- ASSIGNMENTS: After completion of each unit or in the mid of the unit, there will be home
assignments based on theory and numerical problems. Those who fail to submit the assignments
by the due date shall lose their marks.

The marks obtained by the students will be displayed on LMS after each submission and
subsequent evaluation.

1.3- GENERAL DISCIPLINE: Based on students regularity, punctuality, sincerity and behavior in
the class.
The marks obtained by the students will be displayed on LMS at the end of semester.

GUIDELINES

Cell Phones and other Electronic Communication Devices: Cell phones and other
electronic communication devices (such as Blackberries/Laptops) are not permitted in

classes during Tests or the Mid/Final Examination. Such devices MUST be turned off in the
class room.
E-Mail and LMS: Each student in the class should have an e-mail id and a pass word to
access the LMS system regularly. Regularly, important information Date of conducting class
tests, guest lectures, via LMS. The best way to arrange meetings with us or ask specific
questions is by email and prior appointment. All the assignments preferably should be
uploaded on LMS. Various research papers/reference material will be mailed/uploaded on
LMS time to time.
Attendance: Students are required to have minimum attendance of 75% in each subject.
Students with less than said percentage shall NOT be allowed to appear in the end semester
examination.
Passing criterion: Student has to secure minimum 30%/40% marks of the highest marks
in the class scored by a student in that subject (in that class/group class) individually in
both the End-Semester examination and Total Marks in order to pass in that paper.

Passing Criterion for B. Tech: minimum 30% of the highest marks in the class

Passing Criterion for M. Tech: minimum 40% of the highest marks in the class
