Note:  In the practical examination the student has to answer two questions. One question from Part A and one question from Part B will be selected by the student by lots. All the questions listed in the syllabus have to be included in the lots.   The change of question (Part A only / Part B only / Both Part A & Part B) has to be considered, provided the request is made for the same, within half an hour from the start of the examination.  The allotment of marks is as detailed below:

                * To be considered as zero if student has been allowed change of    

                   question.

** One of the viva-voce questions shall be to ask the student to identify some of the following parts of a typical Personal Computer System: Motherboard, Extension board, SMPS, CPU, HDD, FDD, Primary Memory, Various ports.
