Dear Students,

As you are aware, we will be conducting the Quizzes for 5 subjects on Saturday and Sunday. To help you familiarize with the examination process and the features of the portal we will be providing two mock test slots (on Thursday and Friday from 7-9 PM). Please note that we will be using a customized app for these mock tests, the details for download and instructions to operate the app will be shared tomorrow afternoon.

The mock tests will be open only for those who have attempted the System Compatibility Test. You can choose to attempt a mock on any one day between these timings. Please do remember to work out the problems like you will do in the exam and upload scanned answer sheets in the portal for the mock too. We will not have proctor based verification in GMeet and hence you need to have only one device (the laptop/desktop) for attempting the mock test.

If you are facing any issues during the mock, please take a screenshot and alert us. We have put up a feedback form along with the tests for this purpose. Should there be any queries, please feel free to revert.

Regards,
IITM - BSc Degree Team

Dear student

We have created 2 applications:

*(Application will be available in the below mentioned drive soon)*

This removes all dependency on the browser - any other logins you may have,
non-chrome browsers you may be using causing access issues or some features
not working, etc.
Please download the application from the following location for today's
mock test. Make sure that you download the application corresponding to the
course that you are planning to take mock today.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gU_JPQFfYDF2xQ-bIArywIdQZrlwyezm?usp=sharing

*2. Snapshot tool - Seeya*
This application removes the need for gmeet for proctoring on the computer
which we did last time.
Launching this application before the exam start will enable us to get
snapshots of the desktop and you at regular intervals, the images are
directly uploaded to our server.
We need a webcamera in working condition with video permission given to it.
Please download the application from the following location for today's
mock test. Make sure that you download the application corresponding to the
course that you are planning to take mock today.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13__6vqlRk-WC8X-9ybZNu9BIjtZz6yZk?usp=sharing

Dear student

This is to inform you that the qualifier exam which was originally scheduled for April 25 2021 is now finalised to be held on July 11 2021, Sunday.

Time of exam: 2pm to 6pm

Exams will be conducted in cities across the country - which you have to appear in person in centres.

We will inform you of the exact city/centre by July 1 2021.

The hall ticket will be released by July 5 2021.

So kindly prepare to attend the exams on the given date.

Once qualifier results are published:

For those who qualify and are continuing to study and submitting assignments in May 2021 term, we will open the course registration form between 17-20 July. So kindly be prepared to pay the course fees and register to subjects in May 2021 term.

Qualifier 1 will be counted as Quiz 1 for those who are continuing with subject registration in May 2021 term.

It is likely that we will conduct one more quiz in the last week of July which will count towards the final course score and course grade - we will confirm this after the conduct of the qualifier exam.

Those students not continuing to follow subjects in the May 2021 term:

If you qualify, you can register for courses of the Sep 2021 term. This form will be opened  between Aug 22,2021 to Aug 29,2021.

 

Good luck and prepare well.

Dear students

We had convened the class committee meeting yesterday and here is a brief
report on the deliberations and the decisions.

* Eligibility for the final exam:

A decision was made to remove the requirement of attendance in one quiz to
be eligible to write the final exam - for this May 2021 term alone.

The grading policy for students who miss all quizzes in a subject will be
decided in the next class committee meetings.

* Grading of online exams:

The entire process of evaluation of answer scripts and portal answers from
online quizzes was explained in detail.

- The histograms of partially evaluated scores of all students were seen
for each subject and discussed in detail.

- Given the novelty of the online quiz process, a decision was made that
for each student we will disregard 2 questions in which he/she got their
lowest scores.

- The scores of the online exams conducted on June 19/20 will be published
between July 5-7.

* July 11 exams:

The rationale behind organizing exams on July 11 was discussed in detail.
To help students prepare better, the following will be done:

- The topics of focus in the courses will be shared with the students and
it is highly recommended that the 2 mock tests be taken by the students so
as to prepare well for the quizzes.

- Once students know their scores from online quizzes, they will be able
to decide on the exact subjects that they will be preparing and writing on
July 11. From an initial view of the scores from online quizzes, it appears
that many students registered for 4 courses may write two subjects in the
AM and 4 in the afternoon on July 11.

- Additional solve-with-us sessions from the instructors for the quiz will
be done on the topics in which students have faced serious difficulties.

- All the activity questions, practice questions, and graded questions
will be grouped into one assessment and random selections of questions will
be available on refresh for solving and preparing.

* General:

- For math courses, a suggestion was made to include a motivational part
on why each topic needs to be learned, and where it will be applicable in
the upcoming courses.

- Currently, courses have 50-100 problems every week. More practice
questions and problems were said to be desirable.

Warm regards

Dear Learner,

Greetings from IITM BSc Degree Team! Hope you are preparing to appear for
the quizzes on July 11.

Apart from the additional revision sessions that we are planning from
tomorrow, here are some resources we feel might help you in your
preparation.

*1. Transcripts of Weeks 1-9 consolidated into a single document:*
- We have consolidated Week 1 to Week 9 Transcripts in to a
single file. This is available under Supplementary contents unit of the
respective course.

*2. Consolidated questions and solutions document:*
- We have consolidated the Practice assignment and Graded
assignment questions from Week 1 - 9 and their solutions in to a single
file. This is available under Supplementary contents unit of each course.

*3. Assessment for practice:*
- We are creating a single practice assignment that consists of
all Practice and Graded assignments from Weeks 1-9 . You will get 10
questions randomly pulled out from the question bank each time you refresh
and reload the assessment. Together with consolidated solutions document,
this will help you in timing yourself for the problem solving. This will be
available under Practice Test unit.

Regards,
IITM BSc team.

Dear All,

The end term exam of Python will have both theory
and programming components. The theory component will be an in-center
proctored exam along with other courses on Aug 8th, 2021.

For the programming component, we will be using the Online Proctored exam
(similar to the Quizzes on June 19/20) process with programming questions
configured in our portal. The tentative date for the Programming exam will
be tentatively on August 1. We kindly request the students who had issues
in procuring a computer/proper internet availability for the
June-19/20 quiz to start looking at the possibility of arranging the same
for August 1. To help students in preparing for the programming exam, mock
programming questions will be made available in the portal next week.

The following aspects related to the exam will be discussed in the Class
committee meeting (scheduled later this week) and decisions will be
subsequently informed to all students along with detailed SOP of the exam.

1. Weightage of Programming Exam
2. Alternatives for students who are not able to do Programming Exam due to technical issues on the day of the exam

Regards,
IITM BSc Team.
