returned to the student after duly certifying it by the chairman of the assessing committee and the other
shall be kept in the departmental library.
Internal continuous assessment marks are awarded based on the basis of continuous internal
presentations (minimum two presentation should be done by students in front of concerned faculty duly
showing the progess of work). It is encouraged to do simulations related to the chosen topic and present
the results at the end of the semester.
