Wireless communication and networking, Vijay Garg Assessment: Internal Assessment for 20 marks: Consisting of Two Compulsory Class Tests Approximately 40% to 50% of syllabus content must be covered in First test and remaining 40% to 50% of syllabus contents must be covered in second test. End Semester Examination: Some guidelines for setting the question papers are as:  Weightage of each module in end semester examination is expected to be/will be proportional to number of respective lecture hours mentioned in the syllabus.  Question paper will comprise of total six questions, each carrying 20 marks.  Q.1 will be compulsory and should cover maximum contents of the syllabus.  Remaining question will be mixed in nature (for example if Q.2 has part (a) from module 3 then part (b) will be from any other module. (Randomly selected from all the modules.)  Total four questions need to be solved.
