Student Opinion

In this course, main emphasis is given on project and attendance. Mid-semester has only a short online quiz and End-semester has around 90 minutes written examination. For project, first we need to select a topic and then we are assigned different professors according to our topics. We then continue our project work under the guidance of that professor. In my opinion, the main and most important task for the project is to choose a right topic.

How to Crack the Paper

In 2019, during Mid-Semester we had only 15 minutes online quiz and that too we can give from hostel. During End-Semester, we had 1 hour 30 minutes written exam in Nalanda. It was of 50 marks and contains 30 MCQ's of 1 mark each and 2 long answer questions of 10 marks each. For long questions, we need to attempt any 2 questions out of 6 questions. Try to remember the scientist's name who gave different theories and the authors of the famous books for MCQ's in End Semester. Long answer questions were just general questions related to the topics covered in the class.
