Compiled and interpreted languages represent another important

distinction in programming. The key difference lies in how the code
is executed.

Continuous Assessment (CA)

• Components of CA
• Best 1 out of 2 Tests (Code-based): 15 Marks
• Written Test (Mandatory): 20 Marks
• Programming Practice (Mandatory): 15 Marks

• All code-based test will be conducted on CodeTantra platform.

• Each Code based test will contain 10 MCQ questions each of 1 marks and 2
coding questions each of 10 marks.

• Programming Practice details on next slide…

Continuous Assessment (CA) – Programming Practice
• Programming practice (Python Programming course) Student will complete it unit wise on
CodeTantra platform.
• Student will be provided with certain static questions unit wise (Mixture of coding and MCQ). These questions will
be discussed by faculty in class.
• For each unit (6 units in total), students must solve 15 randomized problems in form of test totalling 90 problems
across all units. These problems are weighted which will be considered during final calculation.

• Mandatory Condition: To qualify for programming practice marks, students must solve
at least 50% of the programming questions and 50% of the MCQ questions.
Continuous Assessment (CA) – Programming Practice

• Eligibility Calculation:
• Percentage of problems solved out of the total required will be calculated
(example: 192 out of 294 problems solved equals 65.31%).
• Eligible marks will be calculated based on this percentage from a maximum
of 15 marks.
• Proctored Coding Contests (CAs) Calculation:
• The percentage of marks scored in the proctored Coding Contest and
written test will be calculated (example 15 out of 35 marks equals 42.86%).
• Final Marks Calculation:
• The eligible marks by the percentage scored in the Cas will be
multiplied and final marks will be rounded-up to the nearest
whole number.
Continuous Assessment (CA) – Programming Practice

• Written: 30 Marks
• ETP will be conducted on CodeTantra platform.
• Important: Students who score 60% or above in the combined viva and written
component will be awarded marks for execution without proration. Those scoring below
60% in [Viva+Written] components will receive get their Execution marks prorated
(reduced) according to their percentage performance in viva and written component.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for Python
Programming (Under EduRev)
• The MOOC course “Programming in Python” (available on NPTEL) is included under the
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) scheme offered by EduRev.
• This provides an excellent opportunity for learners who have previously acquired
relevant knowledge or experience in the field—either through
• self-study,
• industry work,
• projects, or
• informal learning pathways.
• Benefits to Learners
• Saves Time: No need to re-learn content already mastered.
• Cost-Effective: Avoids paying for and attending a course unnecessarily.
• Recognizes Experience: Validates prior work or independent learning in AI.
• Supports Lifelong Learning: Encourages learners from diverse backgrounds to
participate in formal education.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for Python
Programming (Under EduRev)
• How RPL is Applicable:
• Under the EduRev RPL Framework, the following process is followed:
• 1. Eligibility for RPL
• Learners who believe they already possess the skills and understanding covered in the Python
programming course may apply for RPL.
• 2. Assessment Process
• Once the RPL application is accepted, the student will be required to appear for an RPL
assessment/examination.
• This exam is designed to evaluate the learner’s knowledge in python programming.
• 3. Performance-Based Exemption
• If the student achieves marks above the defined threshold set by EduRev, they will be
considered to have met the learning outcomes of the course.
• In such cases, the course requirement will be exempted, and the student may proceed to
other subjects or stages of their academic program without taking the full course again.
• 4. Certification and Records
• Upon successful RPL approval, the exemption is recorded officially, and the learner’s academic
transcript or learning portfolio will reflect the credited course based on RPL.
