- Component 1
Continuous Evaluation (CE) — 50% (40% + 10% attendance)
Includes assignments, term tests, presentations, tech talks, seminars, mini-projects, case studies, self study, quizzes, and others.
Attendance Percentage | Marks (Max. 10) |

- Component 1
Continuous Evaluation (CE) — 50%
Includes performance in lab exercises and record submission (40%) and viva voice (10%)
- Component 2
Semester-end Evaluation (SEE) — 50%
