Mid Semester Evaluation (MSE):

MSE shall be based on the student's performance in two In-Semester Examinations (ISE) conducted and evaluated at the department level.

Internal Continuous Assessment (ICA):

ICA shall be based upon minimum 6 assignments/case studies based upon above curriculum.

Or

Internal Continuous Assessment (ICA) marks are calculated based on the student's performance during laboratory sessions (a minimum of Ten experiments from the list below).
