University Examination Pattern:
The question paper shall consist of 2 parts. Maximum Total Marks: 100
Part A (20 marks) - Five Short answer questions of 4 marks each. All questions are compulsory.
There should be at least one question from each module and not more than two
questions from any module.
Part B (80 Marks) - Candidates have to answer two questions out of three from each module.
Each question carries 10 marks.
Last module is directive study which is for self learning only. In Part A and Part B there
will be questions from directive study for less than 10 marks.
