Assignment 8 Reevaluation
Dear Learners,
Assignment 8 has been reevaluated.
Thank you.
-NPTEL Team
Best of Luck
Dear Learners,
The final examination for the course Fundamentals of Database Systems is on 24th Sep.
I hope all of you have enjoyed the course, have learned from it, and are preparing well for the exam.
The exam will have roughly 35 questions to be solved in 3 hours.
There will be three types of questions -- true-false, multiple-choice, and fill-in-the-blanks. While the first two will have a small negative marks, the last category requires arriving at the answer and, therefore, will have no negative marks.
If you have studied the videos, the slides, and have practised the assignments well, there is nothing to worry.
I wish you all the best of luck for this and all other exams.
Thank you.
Arnab Bhattacharya
Negative Marking
Dear learners,
Many of you have raised concerns about negative marking.
Please be assured that the negative marks are really low per question, and even if you get one or two wrong, it will not affect the overall marks much.
Please do not refrain from answering more questions due to the fear of negative marks.
Negative marks is required because I am suspecting some random lucky choices.
Once more, please do not worry about negative marks. Please try to answer as many questions as you can.
Thank you and best of luck once again.
