Syllabus for Comprehensive Exam (Open Book): All topics (Session Nos. 1 to 22)
Important links and information:
Elearn portal: https://elearn.bits-pilani.ac.in
Students are expected to visit the Elearn portal on a regular basis and stay up to date with the
latest announcements and deadlines.
Contact sessions: Students should attend the online lectures as per the schedule provided on the
Elearn portal.
Evaluation Guidelines:
1. EC-1 consists of either two Assignments or three Quizzes. Students will attempt them
through the course pages on the Elearn portal. Announcements will be made on the
portal, in a timely manner.
2. For Closed Book tests: No books or reference material of any kind will be permitted.
3. For Open Book exams: Use of books and any printed / written reference material (filed
or bound) is permitted. However, loose sheets of paper will not be allowed. Use of
calculators is permitted in all exams. Laptops/Mobiles of any kind are not allowed.
Exchange of any material is not allowed.
4. If a student is unable to appear for the Regular Test/Exam due to genuine exigencies, the
student should follow the procedure to apply for the Make-Up Test/Exam which will be
made available on the Elearn portal. The Make-Up Test/Exam will be conducted only at
selected exam centres on the dates to be announced later.
It shall be the responsibility of the individual student to be regular in maintaining the self
study schedule as given in the course handout, attend the online lectures, and take all the
prescribed evaluation components such as Assignment/Quiz, Mid-Semester Test and
Comprehensive Exam according to the evaluation scheme provided in the handout.
