UPDATED SCHEME OF EXAMS. & SYLLABI FOR [Link].
Course: Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.) 1st year
Subject: Electronic Equipment Maintenance
Scheme of Examination for Semester 1 & 2
(i) Theory: Two papers of 35+5*= 40 marks each in each semester.
Note: Common for both the Theory papers:
The syllabus in each paper is divided into 4 units. Two questions will be set from each
unit. A student is to attempt 5 questions in all selecting one question from each unit.
Question No. 1 is compulsory which will be based on 4 units.
* For each paper question paper will be of 35 marks and 5 marks in each theory paper are awarded
through internal assessment in each semester.
(ii) Practical: 80 marks
Note: On Practicals:
1. The practical examination will be held at the end of second semester in two
sessions of three hours each with first session starting in the evening of the first
day and second session in the following morning.
2. Distributions of marks is as under:
Experiment Performed: 20+20
Lab Record: 20
Viva Voce: 10+10
(iii) On Job Training: 60
The training will be of 4 weeks duration and will be undertaken in an
Industry/Research Laboratory approved by the Training-In-Charge. After the successful
completion of the training, the student will be required to submit a Training Report before
the start of the next session. The training will be evaluated by a panel of two examiners
(one external and one internal) by conducting a Viva-Voce on the basis of the Report.
