Electives

COURSES

There are two categories of courses, viz., Regular and Elective. Regular Courses are offered on rotation basis, whilst elective courses are offered every even semester.

It is not mandatory for students to register for Regular course (by default all students are enrolled into regular course). Students desirous to undertake elective courses are requested to enroll into the elective course before they leave for winter vacation using the link provided in the elective course section (will be available only after 3rd internal examination is over during every odd semester).

Regular Course

The lesson plan for the respective course will be uploaded in the respective course web page. Students are evaluated in the regular course as follows unless otherwise described in the course web page.

1. There will be three to five internal examinations. All the internal examinations will be conducted online with your login id and password. (Students are advised to keep their login id and password safely).

2. The examination is time bound and will be conducted in the computer lab on scheduled date and time (see your 'students calendar' issued by Academic Section).

3. The results/marks will be available to the respective student after 1 hour of the completion of the examination.

4. The marks will be sent to the examination section, academic section and the respective student after two working days. This breathing time is provided to the student to clarify his grades/marks before sending to the academic/examination section. If the student did not turn up for any clarification within two days after completion of the examination, by default, it is considered that the student agrees upon his marks/grades.

4. The sum total of all the internal marks will be considered for the courses handled by me, instead of best of two followed which is applicable only for the first two years of i.M.Sc programme.

5. There is an assignment and quiz component in the internal examination as follows.

The total internal marks is = 40.

Maximum marks in internals is 30%, while each internal exam will be conducted for 30 marks.
