10. Last date for Submission of Assignments/Project: The dates for the

submission of the Assignments / Project Reports (by the students to LC) will

be decided by the HOD-Information Technology and will be put up on the

website www.smude.edu.in and www.edunxt.smude.edu.in, in such a

way that the Learning Centre is able to submit the IA/ Project marks to the

Office of Student Evaluation by the due date as specified in the Website

(www.smude.edu.in). The Assignments form a part of continuous

evaluation.

11. University Examination:

The University Examination will be conducted at designated examination

centres twice a year as under:

Session Session Commencement Examination

Spring Session February July /Aug same year

Fall Session August Jan/Feb subsequent year

The dates of the examination along with the detailed instructions will be

published well in advance on the website www.smude.edu.in.

11.1 University Question Paper Pattern

There will be only multiple choice questions (MCQs) in the University

Question Papers as per details given below:

Question Distribution Table:

Credit Question Distribution

Total Time Total Marks Part A Part B Part C

4 40 20 15 2 hrs. 140

3 40 20 15 2 hrs. 140

2 20 11 7 1 hr. 70

Notes:

1. In general, MCQs are of three types, i.e. one mark, two marks & four

marks.

2. The mark distribution is based upon the complexity involved in the

question.

3. General time distribution for each type of question is as follows

-for a paper with 4 credits

Part A Part B Part C

1 mark 2 marks 4 marks

No. of Questions 40 20 15

Time (in min) / Question 1 min. 1 ½ min. 3 min.

Total Time 40 30 45

Grand total = 1 Hour 55 Minutes + 5 Minutes (for filling up the

forms/revision) = 2 hrs.

-for a paper with 2 credits

Part A Part B Part C

1 mark 2 marks 4 marks

No. of Questions 20 11 7

Time (in min) / Question 1 min. 1 ½ min. 3 min.

Total Time 20 16½ 21

Grand total = 57½ Minutes + 2½ Minutes (for filling up the forms/revision)

= 1 hr.

4. In special cases, modifications may be made based upon the subject

requirements.

5. There is no provision for revaluation essentially because the valuation is

done by scanning the answer sheet. The answer sheet is marked by the

student by darkening the appropriate circle to indicate the answer for a

question. The scanning process, which evaluates the student

performance, is 100% error free and hence there is no need for

revaluation.

However, it is appropriate to mention that the analysis of the answers

show the following as the main reasons for student‟s failure or for

scoring low marks in the Examinations:

a) In some cases students make mistakes in darkening the appropriate

columns; for example, while marking an answer for question No. 3,

the student wrongly darkens against the field for question No. 4. This

happens when due care is not taken to verify the appropriate column

for answering. Students are advised to take due care and mark the

answer sheet on question-to-question basis, instead of transferring

the answers in one lot at the final moment of the examination. This

practice is disastrous because it results in a chain of wrong answers.

b) In some cases, the students mark more than one answer by

darkening the additional circles. The scanning is programmed to

disregard these answers and hence the student loses marks.

c) The students are also advised to write correctly the data in the

answer sheet such as Roll No, Test Booklet No, Subject Code, and

Centre Code. The instructions given in the MCQ answer sheet for

these must be strictly complied with.

6. Clashing of subjects in case of Re-sitting: The schedule of

examinations is such that every student can appear for the subjects with

respect to two semesters, provided the combination of semesters is odd

and even. In some cases, students apply for re-sitting in subjects, which

clash with other papers in the schedule of the examinations. SUCH

STUDENTS ARE PERMITTED TO APPEAR ONLY IN ANY ONE OF

THE AFFECTED SUBJECTS. NO STUDENT WILL BE PERMITTED TO

APPEAR IN MORE THAN ONE SUBJECT IN A SCHEDULED

SESSION ON A PARTICULAR DAY. If the student appears or attempts

to appear in both papers, results of both papers will be declared as

NULL & VOID.

7. Reappearance: There is no provision for improvement of grading by

reappearance in the University Examinations or Internal Assessment,

once the student is declared as passed.

11.2 Minimum Passing Marks:

In each paper, a student shall secure at least 35% marks in Continuous

Evaluation (Internal Assessment) and 35% marks in University

Examination, however, with an aggregate of 40% for pass.

A student who fails in any one of the above (i.e. Continuous Evaluation

or University Examination) will be required to reappear in that

component only.

The students must note that for re-appearing for IA, the students have to

fill in the Re-sitting Forms.

In case a student scores 35 percent independently in both components,

but fails to score 40 percent aggregate, he/she will be considered failed.

Such students will have to appear either in both or in any one of the

components of their choice.

11.3 Classification of Successful Candidates:

A student‟s performance will be evaluated based on both Continuous

Evaluation and University Examination.

The Grade System (aggregate):

Grade Marks (%)

A – Excellent 70 and above

B – Very Good 60 – 69

C – Good 50 – 59

D – Satisfactory 40 – 49

E – Failure ––––––

11.4 Carry-over Provision: Please note that since there is a carry over

system for every semester, self-study should start automatically for the next

Semester without waiting for the examination result.

12. Examination and Result Publication:

The University will conduct term-end examinations at designated

Examination Centres. The term-end examination centre, date of

examination and other related instructions of the examinations will be

published well in advance of the date of examination on the website

www.smude.edu.in.

NO STUDENT WILL BE ALLOWED TO APPEAR FOR THE

EXAMINATION WITHOUT ADMIT CARD. Admit card is valid only when

accompanied with University photo ID card. Learning Centres are not

permitted to issue any authority letter for appearing in the examination.

Learning Centres should not withhold the admit cards of any student for

any reason.

Admit Cards will be issued only to those students who fulfil the

prerequisites as specified by the University. (e.g., Admit Cards will be

issued to all Fresh and Re-Registered students and Re-sitting

Candidates, who have filled up the Re-sitting Form before the last date

specified by the University.) The Admit Card is valid only when produced

along with the Identity Card issued by the University.

Candidates are not allowed to bring inside the Examination Hall, Mobile

Phones, calculators, statistical/scientific tables, lap top computers or

any object/device/gadget that would be of unfair assistance in answering

the University question papers. However, scientific/non-programmable

calculators are allowed for specific subjects (as mentioned in the time

table). Possession of Mobile phone, even in „Switched off condition‟ shall

be treated as unfair means. Hence, the students are strictly warned not

to bring Mobile phone with them inside the Examination Hall.

Examination Centres will not take any responsibility for the safe custody

of the mobile phone.

Five Minutes prior to the commencement of the examination, the

candidate will receive the answer sheet. The candidate must ensure that

it is printed properly. The QP booklet will be provided just before the

start of the examination. Each QP booklet has a specific five-digit

booklet number printed on the front page of the booklet.

On the front page of the answer sheet, the candidate is required to write

and/shade the Name (block capitals), Roll Number (nine digits) and QP

Booklet Number (five digits) legibly, in the spaces provided for the

purpose. On the answer sheet, the candidate should carefully write the

Roll Number and Test Booklet Number in numerals in appropriate boxes

using 2B pencil and completely blacken the corresponding circles. For

example, if the Roll Number is 001050001 and the Test Booklet Number

is 18960, the candidate shall write as follows:

Roll Number

THE CANDIDATES SHOULD NOT exchange their QP booklets with

other candidates during the examination, under any circumstances.

CANDIDATES WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO ENTER THE

EXAMINATION HALL AFTER TEN MINUTES OF THE

COMMENCEMENT OF EXAMINATION.

Candidates are not allowed to leave the examination hall within 1 hour of

commencement of the examination.

The identity and signature of the candidates will be verified during the

examination. Candidates are required to sign on the answer sheet in the

invigilator‟s presence.

In the Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), each question has only one

correct answer and must be indicated by completely darkening the

appropriate circle. Darkening of more than one circle will be regarded

invalid/improper. For example, if a student has selected D as the answer

to the given question, it should be entered in the correct manner as

indicated in the following example:

The QP booklet can be used for rough work; but, no stray marks should

be left on the answer sheet. The candidate should not fold, bend, cut,

tear or otherwise deface/mutilate the answer sheet in any manner.

Candidates must hand over the answer sheet and the QP booklet to the

invigilator before leaving the examination hall.

Candidates caught cheating or attempting to cheat may be disqualified

immediately and debarred from appearing for University Examinations in

accordance with the prevailing rules of the University.

The results will be published on the website www.smude.edu.in and

marks card shall be sent to the respective Learning Centres.

13. General Points:

The University reserves the right to add/delete/change the syllabi,

programme structure, rules and regulations without any prior notice as

and when required and as per changes in environment. Students are

advised to visit the University website www.smude.edu.in, where all the

circulars and important information will be hosted from time to time.

It is the endeavour of the University to upgrade the syllabus keeping in

view the industrial/market requirement so as to impart the latest

technology/developments to the students. It is, therefore, essential to

upgrade the study materials periodically. The students are advised to

keep themselves informed about the changes in the syllabus and the

contents of the courseware constantly by visiting the website

www.smude.edu.in, in addition to being in touch with LC in this regard.

It is important to note that the examinations will be conducted based on

the syllabus and contents applicable in that session. The implication is

that a student, who reappears/re-sits for back paper, will be required to

appear in the examination, which is based on the latest syllabus/content

of the courseware. It is, therefore, imperative that the student, who fails

in a subject, should submit his/her re-sitting application at the earliest to

enable the University to dispatch the new publication of the courseware

(only in case of change in courseware).

All the payments shall be made by the students in the form of DD drawn

in favour of “Sikkim Manipal University, DE” payable at Manipal / Udupi

and with the Name, Roll Number and Centre Code written on the

reverse of the DD. The students are advised to retain the counter foil

and photocopy of the DD with them for their reference. Any payments

made by methods other than the above, shall be at the individual‟s own

risk. Fees once paid cannot be refunded.

Legal Disputes, if any, shall come under the jurisdiction of Udupi

(Karnataka).

14. Final Semester Project Preparation and Submission Guideline

Students must submit his/her project synopsis to the respective centre

along with his / her name & number, centre code & address etc., and get

it approved by them.

Projects must be done individually.

Must submit the final report within the stipulated time in the form of soft

and hard copy to the study centre.

The University will evaluate projects of Sixth Semester B.Sc. – IT (Feb

2009) by conducting Final Semester Project Internal Examination

through internal & external examiner.

Students must demonstrate their project at their study centre to the

internal & external examiner on the date specified by the university. The

date will be mentioned in the university term-end examination time table.

Two sets of soft and hard copy must be submitted to the centres by the

students along with the source code and executable file. The same must

be submitted to the centre two week before the date of final semester

term-end examination.

Project Development

The project under development must follow all necessary steps of software

engineering. Broadly, the project may be developed in two phase:

Phase 1: Requirement Analysis and Design Phase

This phase may involve preparing the Requirement specification, performing

system analysis, preparing the data and control flows and performing the

design of the project.

Students must strictly implement the various stages of software

development process.

Implement the various activities that are performed during the

Requirements phase and support it with proper outputs and Data flow

diagrams (various levels of DFD‟s), data dictionary… etc.

Generate the appropriate SRS with focus on all the components of SRS

and generate Decision trees.

Identify the appropriate Design principle suitable for your project.

Indicate the strategy used and substantiate it with brief explanations.

Properly document the detailed design specifications and methods

adopted during Design phase.

Perform Design Walkthroughs, Critical design review and present the

output at each phase.

Tools like Rational Rose could be used in the design stage of the

development process in which case the state flow diagrams should be

added to the project report.

Phase 2: Development and Testing phase

This phase may involve actual development of the software coding,

preparing test plans, testing and implementation details.

Perform coding of the project with required documentation.

Adopt an appropriate testing procedure for your project.

Document the type of testing adopted by you.

Incase of adopting Functional approach to testing, draw the Cause-

Effect graph.

Students can make use of testing tools such as Rational TeamTest,

WinRunner, SilkTest… etc.
