Course Outcomes:
After studying this course, students will able to:
• Apply the basic concepts (Laws, theorems) of networks to obtain solution.
• Choose the appropriate/specific technique to analyze the networks.
• Realize and Analyze the network behavior
Question Paper Pattern:
• The question paper will have TEN questions.
• Each full question carry 20 marks
• In each full question, preferably 40% should be related to theoretical concepts/derivations and 60% should be related problems/solutions.
• There will be TWO full questions (with maximum of THREE sub questions) from each module.
• Each full question will have sub questions covering all the topics under a module.
• The students will have to answer FIVE full questions, selecting ONE full question from each module.
