Revaluation of assignments!!

Dear Students,
    
       The erroneous assignment-questions have been reevaluated. However please note the following:

       (i) These questions were deleted from assignments. This is the general procedure for reevaluation, as informed to us by NPTEL officials. As a result, marks of everyone will change. For some marks will increase, some may see reduction in marks. So please recalculate your marks, before reporting any further errors.

       (ii) Since, the questions and solutions were correct in the assignments of week 8 (qus 3 and 4) and 11 (qus 4 and 5), these questions were not reevaluated.

      We apologize from our side for these unintentional errors.

Best of Luck !!

Dear Students,

                              Congratulations to all of you for successfully completing the course.

Hope you have enjoyed the course.

The NPTEL team wishes you all good luck and success in the examination!!

Final Message

Dear Students,

                We are just a few days’ away from the final exam. Hope, you all are preparing well. We would also like to share some tips and suggestions with you. Hope, these help you.

(i) Hopefully you know that 25 % of total marks is allotted to assignment scores. There, best 8 assignment scores out of 12 will be evaluated. Rest of the 75 % will come from this final exam.

(ii) The question paper will have the following pattern:

(a) 20  - 1 mark MCQ (of similar type to those given in the last assignment. There are 100 MCQ questions given at the end of the text book. You can go through those also. This is just a guideline)

(b) 20  - 2 mark MCQ  (based on given assignment problems with little/no/data modification)

 

(c) 8   - 5 mark MCQ  (some of these can be from assignment problems with some data modification, but there will also be some new problems, not given in assignment. But of course from the syllabus contents)

                (b) and (c) type questions will all be of numerical type. There are some numerical questions given in different chapters of the text-book by Prof. Barua. Quite a few of them are given in assignments too. Solutions to all those problems in book are, given at the end of the book. So, go through some of those problems also. 

                There were a few lectures on which no assignment problem was given. For the exam, you can skip those chapters/lectures.

                Secondly, there were mistakes and errors in some of the assignment problems. And as we said, marks will be given to all for those problems. Please check the following list of questions, which contained errors. Please report by coming Friday, if you find major discrepancy in any other questions, given in assignments.

We have finally come towards the end of the course. Let us congratulate ourselves, once. It was not just a course for you all to pass with flying colours, but equally a test for us too, the TAs. It was quite a task to arrange and successfully complete such a massive responsibility. And we are honoured and enriched having got this opportunity. We tried out best, but there were mistakes and faults from our sides, too. We sincerely apologize for that and thank you also, for cooperating with us throughout these last three months.

Finally, thank you, once again. We wish you for the final exam. Hope, you all do very all. We wish you for your career and your life ahead. Good life and all the best.

Signing off,

Week 7 - question 3 and 4

Dear Student,

In week 7 assignment, There was a small error in qus 3 answer. Answer should be in nV. I hope you would consider this mistake of otherwise such a nice problem.

In same assignment, Qus 4 contained some information mistake. Given R and C should have been feedback resistor and capacitor. Everybody will get marks for this qus.

Week 12 assignment solution available

Dear Student,

     Solutions for the last assignment has been uploaded.

Week 11 - question 4 and 5 - modifications in solution

Dear students,

First of all, we would like to apologize for this mistake. Also, thanks to Mr. DEVVIDYASAGAR C for pointing out the mistake.

Please have a look at the solution of qus 4 and 5 of week 11, now. However, if you carefully match the dimension of eqn 7 (slide) / 14.7 in (in book), You will see the eqn in book is actually correct (unit of dynamic viscosity Ns/m^2). Please have a note of this. This means the options of these questions, given in the assignment, were also correct.

However, you need not worry, everyone will get marks for these questions.

So, please follow the eqn given in present solution, i.e., the eqn given in the book (14.7).
Eqn (9) and (14.9) are both same and correct. Check dimension there also.
