Exercises are provided at the end of each chapter and are categorized into three:

   These exercises are required to be worked out immediately after each session. The approximate time required to complete the mandatory exercises is 1 hour for each session attended.
2. General exercises
   This is a set of exercises that a student can work out for additional practice. This will provide a wider variety of questions and problems ranging from easy to difficult.

Apart from the printed courseware, the students are given access to our website which has the following:

• Assisted Revision Modules to revise and recall the contents of each classroom session to ensure proper learning.

To help students in evaluating their method of answering, detailed analysis of each question is provided. The explanations available in audio-video format are also aimed at reinforcing learning.

Mentors help the students in learning. Students have to meet the mentor regularly as per schedule and seek help in planning their work and adopting the right learning procedures.
