6. Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)

The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam
(SEE) is 50%. The minimum passing mark for the CIE is 50% of the maximum marks. Minimum
passing marks in SEE is 40% of the maximum marks of SEE. A student shall be deemed to have
satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/ course if the
student secures not less than 50% (50 marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous
Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End Examination) taken together.

Continuous Internal Evaluation:

1. Three Unit Tests each of 20 Marks
2. Two assignments each of 20 Marks or one Skill Development Activity of 40 marks
to attain the COs and POs The sum of three tests, two assignments/skill Development Activities,
will be scaled down to 50 marks
CIE methods /question paper is designed to attain the different levels of Bloom’s taxonomy
as per the outcome defined for the course.

Semester End Examination:

1. The SEE question paper will be set for 100 marks and the marks scored will be
proportionately reduced to 50.
2. The question paper will have ten full questions carrying equal marks.
3. Each full question is for 20 marks. There will be two full questions (with a maximum of four
sub-questions) from each module.
4. Each full question will have a sub-question covering all the topics under a module.
5. The students will have to answer five full questions, selecting one full question from each
module.

10. Future with this Subject

The "Digital System Design using Verilog" course in the third semester of the B.E program lays a
strong foundation for several future courses in the undergraduate program. The contributions of this
subject extend across various areas, enhancing the students' understanding and skills in the field of
digital systems. Here are some notable contributions:
 Advanced Digital Design Courses: The knowledge gained in this course, covering principles of
combinational and sequential logic, flip-flops, and Verilog HDL, serves as a prerequisite for more
advanced courses in digital design. Students can delve deeper into topics such as FPGA-based
design, advanced digital system architectures, and high-performance digital systems.
 Embedded Systems: Understanding Verilog and its application in digital system design is crucial for
students pursuing courses related to embedded systems. The ability to model, simulate, and
synthesize digital systems using Verilog is directly applicable in the design and implementation of
embedded systems.
 VLSI Design: The course provides a solid foundation for students interested in pursuing VLSI (Very
Large Scale Integration) design courses. The principles of combinational and sequential logic, along
with the skills in using Verilog for structural and behavioral descriptions, are essential for designing
complex integrated circuits.
 Digital Signal Processing (DSP): Students specializing in DSP benefit from the course by gaining
insights into the fundamentals of digital logic and Verilog. This knowledge becomes instrumental
when working on DSP algorithms, hardware implementations, and the design of specialized digital
signal processors.
 Computer Architecture and Organization: The course contributes to the understanding of
computer organization and architecture. Concepts such as binary adders, decoders, and multiplexers

Department of Master of Computer Application, MIT Mysore Page 10

 Ref: MITM/MCA/CBS/2023-24/001 OOP with JAVA
(M23MCA202)

are foundational to the study of computer architecture, providing insights into how digital systems
are organized and interconnected.
 Advanced Programming Courses: Students pursuing courses in advanced programming, especially
those related to hardware programming or system-level programming, can leverage their knowledge
of Verilog for hardware description and simulation. This understanding is valuable when working on
software-hardware co-design projects.
 Project Work and Research: The hands-on experience gained through programming assignments,
problem-solving, and project work in digital system design using Verilog prepares students for more
extensive projects in their later years. It equips them with the skills needed for research in the field of
digital systems.
 Industry Applications: The course provides practical skills that are directly applicable in industries
related to digital system design, VLSI, embedded systems, and more. Graduates are well-prepared to
contribute to industries developing digital hardware and systems.
In summary, the "Digital System Design using Verilog" course serves as a stepping stone, equipping
students with foundational knowledge and skills that are essential for the subsequent courses in their
B.E program and for their future careers in various technology-related fields.
