Syllabus for Comprehensive Exam (Open Book): All topics (Session Nos. 1 to 22)

Important links and information:

Elearn portal: https://elearn.bits-pilani.ac.in

Students are expected to visit the Elearn 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 Elearn portal.

Evaluation Guidelines:

1.      EC-1 consists of three Quizzes. Students will attempt them through the course pages on the Elearn 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 Elearn portal. The Make-Up Test/Exam will be conducted only at selected exam centers on the dates to be announced later.

5.      Please keep in your mind that only genuine Recheck request will be entertain. When a student applies for the recheck, entire answer sheet will be re-evaluated again; this procedure may increase or decrease (as well) the marks. Non-genuine request may lead to minus marking sometimes. Be careful.

6.      For any query (apart from Course content or syllabus/lecture topics) should be strictly addressed to evm@wilp.bits-pilani.ac.in

It shall be the responsibility of the individual student to be regular in maintaining the self-study schedule as given in the course handout, 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 handout. No Extra time/day will be given to the student after deadline gets over for the Quizzes and other exam components.
