At Dharmsinh Desai University, the criteria to clear exams in the subjects with labs is to score 68 marks in all. These marks are a combination of
So, you should score 12 marks in each internal in the case of Engineering Graphics to make a total of 36. So the average is 12 marks for internals. A total of 24 in internals, a minimum of 24 in externals, and a decent attendance record will help you pass. In all, it doesn't matter how much you score in individual exams, in the case of internals all you need is a total of 36 to be on the safer side.
However, in Maths the scenario is a bit different. There are no practicals so you need to score a total of 45 marks instead of 68. So in math, you should score a total of 45 in the internals and 24 in the externals to pass. Here the 45 score score comprises
The total is 43. Here you may pass with grace but to stay on the safer side is better to score 45.
hope this helps you!
