Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)

Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE): The CIE marks awarded in case of Practical shall be based on the weekly evaluation of laboratory journals/ reports after the conduction of every experiment and one practical test.
Semester End Evaluation (SEE): The practical examinations to be conducted as per the time table of University in a batch wise with strength of students not more than 10-15 per batch.
1. All laboratory experiments are to be included for practical examination.
2. Breakup of marks and the instructions printed on the cover page of answer script to be strictly adhered by the examiners.
3. Students can pick one experiment from the questions lot prepared by the examiners.
4. Change of experiment is allowed only once and 15% Marks allotted to the procedure part to be made zero.
