then only one assignment for the course shall be planned. The teacher should not conduct
two assignments at the end of the semester if two assignments are planned.
● For the course, CIE marks will be based on a scaled-down sum of two tests and other methods
of assessment.

SEE minimum passing mark is 35% of the maximum marks (18 out of 50 marks). A student shall be
deemed to have satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/
course if the student secures a minimum of 40% (40 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE
(Continuous Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End Examination) taken together

Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE):

CIE marks for the practical course are 50 Marks.
The split-up of CIE marks for record/ journal and test are in the ratio 60:40.
● Each experiment is to be evaluated for conduction with an observation sheet and record
write-up. Rubrics for the evaluation of the journal/write-up for hardware/software
experiments are designed by the faculty who is handling the laboratory session and are
made known to students at the beginning of the practical session.
● Record should contain all the specified experiments in the syllabus and each experiment
write-up will be evaluated for 10 marks.
● Total marks scored by the students are scaled down to 30 marks (60% of maximum
marks).
● Weightage to be given for neatness and submission of record/write-up on time.
● Department shall conduct a test of 100 marks after the completion of all the experiments
listed in the syllabus.
● In a test, test write-up, conduction of experiment, acceptable result, and procedural
knowledge will carry a weightage of 60% and the rest 40% for viva-voce.
● The suitable rubrics can be designed to evaluate each student’s performance and learning
ability.
● The marks scored shall be scaled down to 20 marks (40% of the maximum marks).
The Sum of scaled-down marks scored in the report write-up/journal and marks of a test is the
total CIE marks scored by the student.
Semester End Evaluation (SEE):
● SEE marks for the practical course are 50 Marks.
● SEE shall be conducted jointly by the two examiners of the same institute, examiners are
appointed by the Head of the Institute.

● The examination schedule and names of examiners are informed to the university before
the conduction of the examination. These practical examinations are to be conducted
between the schedule mentioned in the academic calendar of the University.
● All laboratory experiments are to be included for practical examination.
● (Rubrics) Breakup of marks and the instructions printed on the cover page of the answer
script to be strictly adhered to by the examiners. OR based on the course requirement
evaluation rubrics shall be decided jointly by examiners.
● Students can pick one question (experiment) from the questions lot prepared by the
examiners jointly.
● Evaluation of test write-up/ conduction procedure and result/viva will be conducted
jointly by examiners.
● General rubrics suggested for SEE are mentioned here, writeup-20%, Conduction procedure
and result in -60%, Viva-voce 20% of maximum marks. SEE for practical shall be evaluated for
100 marks and scored marks shall be scaled down to 50 marks (however, based on course
type, rubrics shall be decided by the examiners)
Change of experiment is allowed only once and 15% of Marks allotted to the procedure part
are to be made zero.
The minimum duration of SEE is 02 hours
