 Knowledge = 40% (46 marks)  Easy = 40% 1 mark = 20 questions
 Understanding = 30% (35 marks)  Average = 40% 2 marks = 08 questions
 Application/Appreciation
 Difficult = 20% 3 marks = 08 questions
= 15% (17 marks)
 Skill = 15% (17 marks)  Total questions = 47 5 marks = 11 questions

NOTE:

1. The question paper must be prepared based on the individual blue print on the basis of weightage of marks fixed for
each chapter.
2. A variation of 1% per objective weightage is allowed.
3. A variation of 1 mark per unit/chapter is allowed. However, the total marks should not exceed 115 marks.
4. At least one question each carrying 1 mark, 2 marks, 3 marks and 5 marks have to be derived from each unit.
5. When a question carrying 5 marks is divided into sub-questions (3+2/2+2+1/1+1+1+1+1), the sub-questions have to
be derived from the same chapter. One of the 5 marks questions should be subdivided into 5 questions carrying 1
mark each.
6. When a question carrying 5 marks is divided into sub-questions, the sub-questions have to be derived from different
topics of the same chapter.
7. Skill based questions should not expect descriptive answers.
8. MCQs and fill in the blank type of questions should be simple and straight forward.
