BLUEPRINT OF SYLLABUS STRUCTURE AND QUESTION PAPER PATTERN
(To be effective from the odd semester of the academic year 2014-15 for all semester students)
Blue Print of Syllabus Structure
1. Complete syllabus is prescribed in SIX units as Unit 1, Unit 2, etc.

2. In each unit there is one topic under the heading Self Learning Exercises (SLE).
These are the topics to be learnt by the student on their own under the guidance of the
course instructors. Course instructors will inform the students about the depth to which
SLE components are to be studied. Thus there will be six topics in the complete syllabus
which will carry questions with a weightage of 10% in SEE only. No questions will be
asked on SLE components in CIE.
Blue Print of Question Paper
1. Question paper will have seven full questions.

2. One full question each of 15 marks (Question No 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6) will be set from
each unit of the syllabus. Out of these six questions, two questions will have internal
choice from the same unit. The unit in which choice is to be given is left to the discretion
of the course instructor.
3. Question No 7 will be set for 10 marks only on those topics prescribed as Self
Learning Exercises.
