Term Work:
Term Work assessment shall be conducted for the Project, Tutorials and Seminar. Term work
is continuous assessment based on work done, submission of work in the form of
report/journal, timely completion, attendance, and understanding. It should be assessed by
subject teacher of the institute. At the end of the semester, the final grade for a Term Work
shall be assigned based on the performance of the student and is to be submitted to the
University.
