(ii) (a) For September Test, there will be only one paper of one hour’s duration in each subject, and for December Test, there will be paper/s on the pattern of annual examination conducted by the University. There will be a Special Test for those students who could not fulfil the conditions of eligibility. It will not be held to provide an opportunity to all students to improve their earlier score. Those students who are exempted by the Principal of the College from appearing in the House Test/s in September and/or December/January will also be allowed to appear in the Special Test; this Test will determine their eligibility for admission to the examination as well as their score for Internal Assessment. (b) With a view to meet the grievance of students, if any, on account of scores obtained by them, the answer-books will be shown to them. Difference of opinion on the issue, if any, will be sorted out with the help of respective Heads of departments as well as the Principal of the College. (iii) Whereas the September House Test will carry weightage of 40 per cent, the December House Test will have weightage of 60 per cent in each subject/paper. The total weightage for both the Tests taken together shall be10 per cent of the total marks in each theory subject/paper. The weightage of 10 per cent marks shall be added to each paper of B.A./B.Sc.(General) Third Year Annual System which will, henceforth, carry weightage of maximum marks allotted to each paper. A candidate will have to pass in theory and practical/s separately. (iv) The record of marks secured by the students in the two House Tests will be sent by the respective Colleges so as to reach the office of Controller of Examinations latest by 15 th March, failing which the result of the students shall be shown as ‘RLA’ and the entire responsibility for this would lie with the Principal/s of the College/s. (v) The Colleges will continue to forward the internal assessment of the students for Practicals. Projects and similar other activities, wherever applicable, to the Controller of Examinations, as usual, so as to reach his office latest by 15 th March. SPECIAL NOTE : (i) Each theory question paper will be set out of the marks allotted to each theory paper and 10% marks of the maximum marks of each paper will be internal assessment. (ii) For private candidates, who have not been assessed earlier for internal assessment, the marks secured by them in theory paper will proportionately be increased to maximum marks of the paper in lieu of internal assessment. (iii) It will not be mandatory for the students to separately pass in the internal assessment. (i) PANJAB UNIVERSITY, CHANDIGARH OUTLINES OF TESTS, SYLLABI AND COURSES OF READING IN VARIOUS SUBJECTS FOR B.A. (GENERAL) AND B.Sc. (GENERAL), THIRD YEAR EXAMINATION, 2016. ENGLISH (Compulsory) (For B.A. Candidates Only) B.A. (GENERAL) THIRD YEAR EXAMINATION, 2016 Outlines of Tests, Syllabi and Courses of Reading Objective: The main aim of teaching English (Compulsory) to B.A. III students is to equip them to use language in an efficient and effective manner. The idea is to empower an average student in such a way that learning English becomes a pleasurable endeavor, and ceases to be a nightmare, which is what it is, right now. It is with this aim in mind that new text books have been chosen for all the three years of B.A. English (Compulsory) courses. The focus of the new text books is two-fold: to teach finer nuances of language through an integrated approach; and to teach composition and grammar through activity-based, not rule-based approach. For this reason, we have consciously chosen text books that de-emphasize literature and re-set our focus on the study of language. Given the way English language proficiency levels have touched a new low in our context, it was felt that such a corrective measure was not only much needed, but was almost inescapable. Note: (i) There will be one paper in all the three years of B.A. English (Compulsory). (ii) The paper shall be divided into two sections, i.e. Section A & B. The distribution of marks in each section shall be indicated separately against the questions. (iii) Section A shall deal with the text and Section B, with composition and grammar (again based largely upon the text). (iv) The questions should be set strictly in accordance with the pattern of question paper outlined in the syllabus. (v) For the successful implementation of this syllabus, it is necessary that we reflect objectives of this course, first in our teaching practices, and then in designing question paper/s and evaluating answer scripts of the students. The examination shall be held at the end of the term and / or year, as is recommended by the university, from time to time. Max. Marks : 100 Theory : 90 Marks Int.
