INTERMEDIATE EXAMINATION IN ENGINEERING AND
B.E. EXAMINATION.

GENERAL RULES.

The examinations shall be conducted in accordance with the following General Rules :

1. No question shall be asked which would require an expression of religious belief on the part of the candidates; and any answer or translation given by any candidate shall not be objected to on the ground of its expressing peculiarities of religious belief.

2. Candidates shall give their answers in their own words as far as practicable in all subjects. This rule shall be inserted as a head note in every question paper.

3. Examiners in setting papers shall be guided, as to the scope of the subjects of examination, by the syllabuses prescribed in the Regulations and as to the standard and extent of knowledge required, by the books, if any, recommended from time to time for such purpose.

4. No copy of any examination paper is to be retained by the person setting it.

5. The papers set should be such as candidates can reasonably be expected to answer within the time allotted. The questions in each subject should be fairly distributed over the whole course in that subject, and should conform to the Regulations laid down for the particular examination; there should not be any marked change of standard from year to year, but it is not required that the same type of questions should be set every year. Examiners shall always allow some choice of questions.

6. Questions should be so framed as to encourage good methods of work and teaching and to discourage unintelligent memorizing.

7. The two Examiners appointed to set a paper in any subject shall be jointly responsible for the paper. The paper shall be divided into two halves distinguished as the "First Half" and "Second Half." The answers to the First-Half shall be looked over by one of the examiners, and those to the Second Half by the other. The Practical Examination shall be conducted by the two Examiners jointly.

8. The Controller shall, as soon as the results have been tabulated, prepare a list of the candidates who have failed in one group of subjects only in order to guard against any possible inaccuracy, their papers in the subjects of the group in which they have failed shall be re-examined on the method of marking already adopted, and without any alteration of the standard.

9. Examiners, in giving marks, shall take the correctness of the language of the answers into account.

10. Examiners, in giving marks, shall consider whether the answers indicate an intelligent appreciation of the subject or are merely the result of unintelligent memory work.

11. In connection with all practical tests at the Intermediate and Bachelor of Engineering Examinations, candidates shall submit to the Examiners note-books duly certified by the Professor, of the practical work, done by them during the College session The Examiners may, if they think proper, take these note-books into account when awarding marks for such practical

tests.

In answering any paper, a candidate may use a slide rule, unless this has in any case been expressly forbidden by the Examiners setting the paper. Candidates who wish to take advantage of this permission shall bring their own slide rule. Mathematical tables will be provided when required.

12.

Examiners are required to place opposite each question in their paper the full number of marks assigned to it.
