    assignments carry 30% weightage while 70% weightage is given for term-end examination.

    Therefore, the booklet has three sections of TMAs whose total marks add up to 100 and carry a
    weightage of 30 %.

    Section A has Descriptive Category Questions (MCQs). These are meant for writing essay type
    answers, with an introduction and a conclusion. These are intended to test your ability to describe
    your understanding/knowledge about the topic systematically, to the point, and coherently.

    Section B has Middle Category Questions (MCQs). These questions require you first to analyse the
    topic in terms of arguments and explanations and then write the answers concisely. They are meant

    Guide. You must write the answers to all the TMA questions in your own words. Your answers should
