Q1.Who gives marks and grades for practical exams and viva?

A1. The viva questions and practicals are conducted by the External examiner and the subject / internal teacher is also present for the vivas in most cases he/she also asks some questions.If the total score is of 30 marks then it is an unsaid rule that the external and internal split the total among themselves into 15 marks each.
