2. Spectrophotometry
The exercise carries 25 marks, 5 marks shall be awarded for preparatory work, setting up of an apparatus, neat and methodical work.
20 marks will be awarded for correct observation, use of correct formula, calculation and result within permissible limits.
The permissible limit will be decided by the examiner as it varies with the nature of experiment.
3.Viva
Oral questions shall generally be asked over the work assigned to the candidate. The purpose is to find out as to what extent the candidate has understanding the basic principles.
