📌 Total Summary

✅ What This Means

• The first year (I & II semesters) is about basics in science, math, C programming, and computer fundamentals.

• The second year (III & IV semesters) introduces core CS subjects like Java, Python, Networks, and DBMS.

• The third year (V & VI semesters) focuses on industry skills, electives, and real-world project work/training.

Let me know if you’d like branch-wise electives or have questions on credits or CGPA!

Great question! Based on standard polytechnic/diploma education systems in India (like AICTE/C-24 curriculum), here’s how marks are generally distributed for theory and lab subjects.

I’ll give you a general structure, followed by an estimated breakdown for your DCSE subject list.

📘 1. General Marks Distribution (Per Subject Type)

🧾 A. Theory Subjects (Like Java, Maths, OS, etc.)

• Internal (IA): Includes assignments, class tests, attendance, etc.

• ESE: Final exam conducted by the board (theory paper)

🧪 B. Laboratory Subjects (Like Java Lab, Python Lab, etc.)

Some institutes follow:

• Internal (Continuous Evaluation): 20 marks

• Board Practical + Viva: 40 marks
  (or sometimes Board gives 60% weightage)

💼 C. Project Work / Industrial Training

📊 Now, Estimated Distribution for Your Subjects

📅 Example: I Semester

Same format applies to later semesters.

✅ Summary of Typical Marks Pattern

📌 Note:

• Exact mark split can slightly vary based on state board (like MSBTE, BTEUP, DTE TN, etc.).

• Some labs may have only internal exams, especially in non-core labs.

• Skill-based labs (e.g. Life Skills) may be 100% internal.
