Question Paper Pattern:

Sessional Examination:
The question paper for sessional examination shall be for 25 marks, covering half of the syllabus for first
sessional and remaining half for second sessional exam. The question paper shall consist of three
sections with Two Questions (EITHER/ OR Type) in each section. The student shall answer one question
from each section.
End Examination:
The question paper for End examination shall be for 60 marks. The Question paper shall contain Five
Units with Two Questions (Either or Type) from each unit. Each of these questions may contain sub
question and the student should answer any one question from each unit. Each Question carries 12
marks.
