In ETP Students who score 60% or above in the combined viva and written component will be awarded marks
for execution without proration. Those scoring below 60% will receive execution marks on a prorated basis,
according to their performance in viva and written component.
Important information
• Programming practice(Python Programming course) Student will complete it unit wise on
CodeTantra platform.

• All code based test will be conducted on CodeTantra platform.

• ETP will be conducted on CodeTantra platform.

Programming practice
• Student will be provided with certain static questions unit wise(Mixture of coding and MCQ).
These questions will be discussed by faculty in class
• For each unit (6 units in total), students must solve 15 randomized problems in form of test totaling
90 problems across all units. These problems are weighted which will be considered during final
calculation.
Mandatory condition for Programming Practice
• To qualify for programming practice marks, students must solve at least 50% of the programming
questions and 50% of the MCQ questions.
 Calculation of Final Programming
Practice Marks (Out of 15):
• Eligibility Calculation:
• Percentage of problems solved out of the total required will be calculated (example:
192 out of 294 problems solved equals 65.31%).
• Eligible marks will be calculated based on this percentage from a maximum of 15
marks.

• Proctored Coding Contests (CAs) Calculation:

• The percentage of marks scored in the proctored Coding Contest and written test will
be calculated (example 15 out of 35 marks equals 42.86%).

• Final Marks Calculation:

• The eligible marks by the percentage scored in the Ca’s will be multiplied and final
marks will be rounded.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for Python Programming
(Under EduRev)
• The course "Programming in Python" is included under the Recognition of Prior Learning
(RPL) scheme offered by EduRev.This course is available on NPTEL.
• This provides an excellent opportunity for learners who have previously acquired relevant
knowledge or experience in the field—either through self-study, industry work, projects,
or informal learning pathways.
 How RPL is Applicable:
• Under the EduRev RPL Framework, the following process is followed:
1. Eligibility for RPL
• Learners who believe they already possess the skills and understanding covered in the python
programming course may apply for RPL.
2. Assessment Process
• Once the RPL application is accepted, the student will be required to appear for an RPL
assessment/examination.
• This exam is designed to evaluate the learner’s knowledge in python programming.
3. Performance-Based Exemption
•If the student achieves marks above the defined threshold set by EduRev, they will be considered to
have met the learning outcomes of the course.
•In such cases, the course requirement will be exempted, and the student may proceed to other
subjects or stages of their academic program without taking the full course again.
4. Certification and Records
•Upon successful RPL approval, the exemption is recorded officially, and the learner’s academic
transcript or learning portfolio will reflect the credited course based on RPL.
 Benefits for Students of EDUREV:
• Saves Time: No need to re-learn content already mastered.
• Cost-Effective: Avoids paying for and attending a course unnecessarily.
• Recognizes Experience: Validates prior work or independent learning in AI.
• Supports Lifelong Learning: Encourages learners from diverse backgrounds to participate in
formal education.
 Interfaces and Contact Information
• UMS link to apply for EDU Revolution initiatives:
UMS Navigation --- LMS 🡪 EDU Revolution: BE THE CHANGE

• In case of any query in this regard the student can approach for resolution through RMS at
the following path:
