Constitution of India

the source syllabus PDF lists this audit course with its L-T-P-C line only; no unit-wise syllabus content is provided anywhere in the document, so none can be given honestly here.

Evaluation of Industry Internship

listed as a 2-credit internship evaluation component; like the Community Service Internship in III-I, the source PDF gives only the credit line with no unit-wise syllabus, since it is assessed on the student’s actual internship placement rather than classroom content.
