Course Outcomes: The student will be able to :

 Interpret the need for advanced Java concepts like enumerations and collections in developing modular and efficient programs
 Build client-server applications and TCP/IP socket programs
 Illustrate database access and details for managing information using the JDBC API
 Describe how servlets fit into Java-based web application architecture
 Develop reusable software components using Java Beans

Question Paper Pattern:

 The question paper will have ten questions.
 Each full Question consisting of 20 marks
 There will be 2 full questions (with a maximum of four sub questions) from each module.
 Each full question will have sub questions covering all the topics under a module.
 The students will have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module.
