12. Details of Tutorials if any: Once a particular concept theory is discussed, related exercises are
worked out in the class hours.
13. Evaluation plan (Details of evaluation plan including the weightages for each of the
component conforming to the regulations)
Lecture / Tutorial :
Once in every two weeks, surprise tests / assignments / quizzes will be conducted.
Each of those will be considered for evaluation of the student
Practical :
In Each Units, Tutorial exercises will be demonstrated and practice exercises will be
given along with the lab manuals.
i) Assignments / quizzes / surprise tests – Almost Once in every two weeks, (For Lecture /
Tutorial). And, unit wise lab class performance, (For Practical). 35%
ii) Mid sem exam 25%
iii) End sem exam 40%

Theory and Practical will have a weightage in proportion to their L+T and P distribution of
L-T-P, totaling to 100 marks. This will be appropriately converted to appropriate letter grade
taking into consideration the class average marks.
