They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill." -Muhammad Ali

I personally believe in “thorough studies” so usually no choices given in the examEvery thing discussed, during the class or given as reading material, could be part of the examsQuestions will be formulated in a way to examine both bookish as well as conceptual thinking Other details will be given close to MidI will try to follow my simple rule that is

“ “ I’ll be very friendly in the lectures and very I’ll be very friendly in the lectures and very strict in the exam hall strict in the exam hall (believe me no (believe me no chance of misconduct…)”chance of misconduct…)”

Most Importantly Lecture Notes are just a supporting material and students must not forget to read books for detail and complete understanding (In case of Management as a subject you need to do extensive reading on topics under discussion & look for majority of web sites for practical know how)

SystemsSystemsA system is made up of a number of parts combined in a particular way to do something useful. We think of the combined parts as a single thing and we give it a name.

Wheels, axles, pedals, gears, chain, seat and

handlebars are combined to form a single whole

we call a bicycle. A bike is a system when all the

parts are connected correctly because it allows the rider to move from one place to another more easily.
