About the MTTP-004 assignment
MTTP-004 is a six-credit translation project for the postgraduate diploma in Sindhi–Hindi–Sindhi translation. It develops skills in understanding source material, choosing suitable vocabulary and producing natural translations that preserve the original meaning. The PDF treats this project as an independent course that students must pass.
The project requires nine Sindhi passages to be translated into Hindi and one Hindi passage into Sindhi. The listing gives 100 maximum marks and 30% weightage, but the supplied PDF extract does not provide passage-wise marks. The extract ends during passage 6, so the subjects of the remaining passages cannot be identified.
