2 PROF.G.RAM REDDY CENTRE FOR DISTANCE EDUCATION OSMANIA UNIVERSITY, HYDERABAD Dear Studets, Every studet of M.A.M.Com.M.Sc. I year has to write ad submit Assigmet for each paper compulsorily. Each assigmet carries 0 marks. Uiversity Examiatios will be held for 80 marks. The cocered faculty evaluates these assigmet scripts. The marks awarded to you will be forwarded to the Cotroller of Examiatio, OU for iclusio i the Uiversity Examiatio marks. If you fail to submit Iteral Assigmets before the stipulated date, the iteral marks will ot be added to Uiversity examiatio marks uder ay circumstaces. The assigmet marks will ot be accepted after the stipulated date, You are required to pay Rs.300- fee towards Iteral Assigmet marks through DD (i favour of Director, PGRRCDE, OU) ad submit the same alog with assigmet at the cocered couter o or before 3 rd May, 05 ad obtai proper submissio receipt. ASSIGNMENT WITHOUT THE DD WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED Assigmets o Prited Photocopy Typed papers will ot be accepted ad will ot be valued at ay cost. Oly had writte Assigmets will be accepted ad valued.
