3. Eligibility for the Degree ,
Candidates for admission to the degree of bachelor of technology shall be required to have undergone the prescribed course of study in an institution maintained by or affiliated to the University of Kerala for a period of not less than four academic years and to have passed all the examinations specified in the scheme of study.
4. Subjects of Study
The ,subjects of study shall be in accordance with the scheme and syllabi prescribed
5. Evaluation
Candidates in each semester will be evaluated both by co[}.tinuous assessment and end semester University examination. The individual maximum marks allotted for continuous assessment and University examination for each subject is as prescribed by the scheme of study.
5.1 Continuous Assessment (C.A) .
The marks awarded for the continuous assessment will be on the basis of the day-to-day work, periodic tests (minimum two in a semester) and assignments (minimum of three - one each fro~ each module). "The faculty member concerned will do the cont~nuous assessment for each semester. The CA, marks for the individual subjects shall be computed by giving weight age to the following par~meters.
