Assignments, Sessional and End Semester Examination paper will consist of various difficulty levels to
accommodate the different capabilities of students. Assessment should cover all course outcomes and upper
limit for lower order skills will be 40% (for knowledge-oriented questions). However, weightage for different
cognitive levels in the question papers can vary.

Instructions for paper setting: The paper setter must ensure the coverage of entire syllabus while setting
the question papers and mention the learning outcomes across each section to be measured by the
examination. Weightage of the sections may vary as per the number of respective lecture hours mentioned in
the syllabus. Action verbs should be used from Bloom’s Taxonomy while designing question papers.
