Regarding Final Exam
Dear all,
All Assignments are closed now and the solutions for the assignments are available in the assignment solutions section. Instructions regarding entry into the venue and what is permitted is given on the hall ticket. Please read the same.
The Final exam for Engineering Fracture Mechanics NPTEL course is on 22, October, 2017. I request you to go through the following instructions carefully.
The question paper pattern will be similar to the assignments. You will have
Multiple Choice/Select Questions: These can be based on theory or numerical problems. They can have more than one correct answer. So please be careful while answering them. You have to select all the correct answers, only then marks will be awarded.
Short Answer Questions: These questions are mainly numerical problems where you have to solve the given problem and enter the final answer.
Comprehensive Questions: Here you have more than one question based on a problem description. Here the questions can be a mix of Multiple choice/ select and short answer questions.
A six page Data sheet containing formulae will be provided to you at the examination venue. Once you have received the data sheet, verify that it has the full 6 pages. Please spend at least 5 mins to browse through the contents of the data sheet so that you can take advantage of it in answering the questions in the final exam.
You may require a graph sheet for solving some of the problems. This will also be provided to you at the examination venue.
Guide to Answering the Short Answer Questions:
1) Make sure that you enter the final answer in the units asked in the question.
2) If the final answer is a positive value, enter only the value. If the final answer is negative, one needs to enter the negative sign as well.
3) Do not enter the answer as a ratio of two numbers. Always enter it as a decimal number. We have provided a 'Enter in Decimal value' note in some of the questions to remind you of this.
For example, if your answer is 5/4, do not enter the value as the ratio 5/4. Covert it into decimal value and enter that value. Here that value is 1.25.
If you have any further queries regarding the course or the final exam, please contact us.
Thank you and we wish you all the best for your exam.

Issue in Assignment 6 Evaluation
Dear all,
There was an error in evaluating Assignment 6. Since question 6 is a string match type answer, only an answer with exact match will be correct. Many had missed the brackets.Now both EA(1-BD),EA(1+BD),EA(BC) and EA(1-BD),EA(1+BD),EABC will be correct answers.
For question 3 since both b and c can be correct answer it becomes a multiple select question. But it has been configured as multiple choice question. In order to avoid discrepancies we have removed question 3 from evaluation. Please check your progress report now and if you have any queries regarding this please contact us.
