How to write and submit it
- Answer every question in your own words, following the section-wise word limits: 1,000 words in Section A, 400 in Section B and 50 in Section C.
- Handwrite the answers; typed or printed responses are not allowed. Copying course material can result in zero marks for the question, while copying another student's work can lead to rejection.
