5.5 Assessment Policy for Internal Continuous Assessment (ICA)
a.
b. Assessment of ICA comprises of the following components:
1. Lab performance evaluation (100 marks to be scaled down to 20 marks)
a. Continuous assessment for laboratory experiments will be conducted. There
are 10 pre-assigned experiments, each carrying a weightage of 10 marks

[Understanding: 2M, Execution: 3M, Report: 5M]

Page 9 of 15
PO1
 Course Policy Physics – I

b. Discussions with your peers are strongly encouraged. However, each student
is expected to submit his/her original work.
c. Assessment of the lab work will be carried out based on parameters like timely
completion of lab work by the student, understanding of the experiment
performed, regularity, discipline etc. during the session.

If submission of lab work is done on next day of the due date, 20% marks will be deducted, if
done after a week 50% marks will be deducted, and if lab work not submitted at all, zero
marks will be given for the lab work of the respective practical session.

2. Lab test and viva (10 marks)

a. Practical exam will be conducted based on the experiments done.
b. Viva voce will be conducted during the lab test.

3. Challenging learning assessment tools (Group activity – 10 marks)

In this assessment tool Students need to make a Report on real life Applications
related to topics from the syllabus, of their choice independently.

a. Presentation will be a group activity. Faculty will make group of 2-3 students.
b. Every group will get a unique topic to present.
c. Report/poster/animated videos submission will be an individual activity,
selected by the student.
d. Assessment will be based on the content, quality, understanding and
originality.

[Topic and application selection: 2M, Presentation: 5M, Report: 3M]

4. Class Participation (10 marks)

The assessment to test the understanding level and to ensure the active involvement of
students will be done during the lectures through any of the active learning techniques
(one to one question, group activity etc.)
The idea is to encourage students to pay attention in class and actively participate.
These marks will be added in ICA class participation component.

5. Assignment (10 Marks):

There will be two home assignments of 10 marks each. The students will have 8 days’
time to submit each assignment. Assignment will be evaluated on the basis of
correctness and punctuality.

5.6 Assessment Policy for Term End Examination (TEE)

A written examination of 100 marks for 3hrs duration will be conducted for the course as per
the academic calendar.
