The Teacher-in-Charge shall design 30-40 problemsbased on these courses. The students shall be required to systematically work out thesolution of those problems and implement using relevant tool in the computerlaboratory. The 50% of the total marks in this paper shall be reserved for internalassessment. The Teacher-in-Charge shall conduct at least three internal evaluationtests for awarding the students for internal assessment. The students shall also berequired to maintain proper record of each practical in a Practical File which shall beregularly checked by the concerned teacher-in-charge. The internal assessment shallbe based on regular tests, practical file and attendance in the laboratory. For the restof 50% of the total marks there shall be an external examination which shall beconducted jointly by an internal examiner and an external examiner to be appointedby the University. The distribution of marks to various components is given belowas:Breakup for Internal Assessment: Regular Tests 30 marks (A Minimum of three test shall be conductedduring the entire semester.
