ASSIGNMENT REQUIREMENTS

You are required to work individually.

Expected length of the report is from 2500 to 3000 words (20-25 A4 sheets both
side).

Marking scheme is attached with the assignment. Carefully read it and answer
accordingly.

Ensure that the assignment is written on standard A4 (210 X 297 mm) sized
paper. Paper weight of 75 GSM is highly recommended. The report must be in
spiral binding.

Left space 1 on each side of paper

Every assignment must have a printed front cover. A transparent plastic sheet can
be placed in front of the report to protect the front cover.

Plagiarism is a serious offence and will automatically be awarded zero (0)

marks.

The total marks obtained in the assignment will be added in final internal
assessment according to following formula

Final assessment (Out of 10) = Marks obtained in assignment/10

The fractional marks will be rounded off as per standard rule.

Important Notes: Submission after last date will not be accepted and zero marks will be
awarded in final internal assessment. . It is advised to student to not involve in any kind
of plagiarism/copying the assignment of others, otherwise he/she will be penalized.
