CORE COURSE PROJECT: EVALUATION SCHEME, Project evaluation will be conducted at the end of sixth semester., Project:, 1. Project work should be done as an extension of topics in the syllabus., 2. Project can be experimental / theoretical or done in collaboration (association) with a, recognized laboratory or organization., 3. Project work may be done individually or as group of maximum of six students., 4. A supervisor has to guide a batch of maximum 24 students. For an additional batch another, supervisor has to be appointed. However the existing work load should be maintained., Guidelines for doing project:, The project work provides the opportunity to study a topic in depth that has been chosen or which, has been suggested by a staff member. The students first carryout a literature survey which will, provide the background information necessary for the investigations during the research phase of, the project., The various steps in project works are the following:a) Wide review of a topic., b) Investigation on an area of Physics in systematic way using appropriate techniques., c) Systematic recording of the work., d) Reporting the results with interpretation in documented and oral forms., , Use of Log Book, , , During the Project the students should make regular and detailed entries in to a personal, laboratory log book through the period of investigation., , , , The log book will be a record of progress on project and will be useful in writing the final, report. It contains experimental conditions and results, ideas, mathematical expressions,, rough work and calculation, computer file names etc. All entries should be dated., , , , The students are expected to have regular meeting with their supervisor to discuss progress, on the project and the supervisor should regularly write brief comments with dated, signature., , , , The log book and the written report must be submitted at the end of the project., , 12

B.Sc PROGRAMME IN PHYSICS (CORE), PRACTICAL, All centres must arrange sufficient number of apparatus before the Practical Examination., All apparatus must be in proper condition before the Practical examination., The external practical examination will be conducted at the end of 4th & 6th semesters. At the, time of external examination, a student has to produce certified fair record with a minimum of 75%, of the experiments, listed in the syllabus. Valuation of the record must be done internally and, externally. A maximum of 1/2 mark can be awarded to an experiment which is neatly recorded., Total mark for record in external valuation is 10. The principle or the logic and the relevant, expressions of the experiment must be shown at the time of examination, Two test papers for practical internals could be conducted by including test papers in any two, convenient cycles in the place of an experiment. A batch of students can be evaluated in each class. If, there are a total of 4 cycles for a practical course, a test paper each can be included in the 3rd and 4th, cycles. If there are a total of 3 cycles for a practical course, a test paper each can be included in the, 2nd and 3rd cycles. A model examination can also conducted after completion of all cycles. Internal, grade for test papers can be awarded based on the best two performances. Digital balance is allowed, for mass measurements., Number of questions in the question paper shall be 8 for Paper I & II: and 6 from, Electronics & 2 from Python programs PAPER- III: out of these a minimum of 75% of the, questions are to be set for the examination at a centre., , 62
