Assignment 2

Total Questions: 56
Total Marks: 100

Assignment Information :

The examination will consist of only Objective type

(multiple choice) questions requiring candidates to
Mouse-click their correct choice of alternatives
against the related question number. The questions
would carry 1 to 5 marks each depending on the
difficulty level of the question as indicated in the
table below:

Difficulty Level of Questions:

1 Mark - Direct, Memory based

2 Marks - Memory & Conceptual
3 Marks - Conceptual & Analytical
4 Marks - Analytical based on understanding of
concepts
5 Marks - Application based on understanding of
concepts

   The question paper will be for 100 marks

and considering marks allotted to each
question, the total number of questions
would be around 56.

   There will not be negative marking for

wrong answers.

   In case candidate does not want to

attempt the question he I she should not
mouse-click any option.

   The students are allowed to save the

responses and come back later to resume,
complete and "Save and Submit" the
assignment. However, if the Due Date has
expired, then the assignment will not be
accessible and will be marked as zero. In
 such cases, the student can re-attempt the
assignment allocated after enrolling in the
subsequent Semester.

   Once submitted, that answer sheet cannot

be retreieved for any editing. The student
has to initiate a new attempt (if allowed), if
he has submitted the assignment by
mistake.

   The students are normally allowed 3

chances to attempt and submit the
assignment. The number of attempts
availed is displayed under the "Test
Information".

   The Highest Grade of the 3 attempts shall

be considered for grading.

   The assignments are auto evaluated, and

hence no chance of re-evaluation/re-
totalling is allowed to the student.
