The rest of the 20 marks are allotted for internal test. Two Internal Tests will be conducted in each semester. Each test will carry 20 marks, out of which 6 marks are for Part-A consisting of objective and short answer questions and 14 marks are for Part-B consisting of subjective questions. Average of two tests plus marks obtained in assignments/quizzes etc., will constitute the marks obtained by individual candidate under CIE.

Part-B (50 marks) consist of five questions (long answer) covering all the units of syllabus.
# Out of 50 marks under CIE for project, 25 marks are awarded by the Guide/Supervisor and remaining 25 are awarded by the subject expert committee constituted by the concerned Head of the Department at the respective College.
## The evaluation of BE project for maximum of 100 marks will be done as per guidelines given below:
Note: A course which is evaluated based on CIE with no University Examination as per the scheme is treated as Pass when the candidate obtains 50% in CIE.
Important Note: The candidate has to appear at the Semester End Examination (SEE) in all the Practical/Laboratory/Drawing Courses compulsorily irrespective of marks secured under CIE.
