PAPER II: PRACTICALS—30 MARKS

The practical paper of three hours duration will be evaluated internally by the school. The paper shall consist of three
problem statements from which a candidate has to attempt any one problem statement.
The practical consists of two parts:

1. Planning/ Writing Session
2. Examination Session
The total time to be spent on the Planning/Writing Session and the Examination session is three hours. A maximum of 90
minutes is permitted for the Planning/Writing Session and 90 minutes for the Examination session. Candidates are to be
permitted to proceed to the Examination Session only after the 90 minutes of the Planning / Writing Session are over.

Planning/Writing Session
The candidates will be required to prepare an algorithm and a handwritten program to solve the problem.

Examination Session
The program handed in at the end of the Planning/Writing session shall be returned to the candidates. The candidates will
be required to do and execute the program, circuit on seen and unseen inputs individually on the computer, hardware
and show execution to the examiner. A printout of the program listing, including output should be attached to the answer
script containing the handwritten program and hardware results. This should be returned to the examiner. The program
should be sufficiently documented so that the apparatus/components required, circuit diagram/block diagram, algorithm/
flowchart, representation, development process, observations/output is clear from reading the program. Large differences
between the planned program and the printout will result in loss of marks.
Teachers should maintain a record of all the assignments done as part of the practical work throughout the year and give
it due credit at the time of cumulative evaluation at the end of the year. Students are expected to do a minimum of twenty
assignments for the year and ONE project based on the syllabus.
LIST OF SUGGESTED ASSIGNMENTS/EXPERIMENTS:
Some sample problems are given below as examples. The problems are of varying levels of difficulty:
1. Provide physical objects and demonstrate how to describe their positions using Cartesian, polar, and cylindrical
coordinate systems.
2. Construct a simple robotic arm and analyze its degrees of freedom and range of motion.
