Syllabus for Comprehensive Exam (Open Book): All topics (Session Nos. 1 to 32)

Important links and information:
E-learn portal: https://elearn.bits-pilani.ac.in
Students are expected to visit the E-learn portal on a regular basis and stay up to date with the latest announcements and deadlines.
Contact sessions: Students should attend the online lectures as per the schedule provided on the E-learn portal.
Evaluation Guidelines:
1.       EC-1 consists of either two Assignments or three Quizzes. Students will attempt them through the course pages on the E-learn portal. Announcements will be made on the portal, in a timely manner.
2.       For Closed Book tests: No books or reference material of any kind will be permitted.
3.       For Open Book exams: Use of books and any printed / written reference material (filed or bound) is permitted. However, loose sheets of paper will not be allowed. Use of calculators is permitted in all exams. Laptops/Mobiles of any kind are not allowed. Exchange of any material is not allowed.
4.       If a student is unable to appear for the Regular Test/Exam due to genuine exigencies, the student should follow the procedure to apply for the Make-Up Test/Exam which will be made available on the E-learn portal. The Make-Up Test/Exam will be conducted only at selected exam centres on the dates to be announced later.

It shall be the responsibility of the individual student to be regular in maintaining the self-study schedule as given in the course hand-out, attend the online lectures, and take all the prescribed evaluation components such as Assignment/Quiz, Mid-Semester Test and Comprehensive Exam according to the evaluation scheme provided in the hand-out.
