Written Test


We now have final decision that test can not be conducted online. You are getting first hand experience of the challenges faced in implementing Enterprise systems. When several users start using the system simultaneously and it is mission critical task, then performance, reliability etc. become very critical. Imagine what challenges you will have when implementing ERP systems for hundreds of thousands of employees for doing hundreds of mission critical processes simultaneously.

Now the exam will be a written test but you will have all objective questions. Some questions will be from what you have compiled. Those question bank links I have given you in my yesterday's post. Link for O2C was wrong. Now it is corrected. There will be some more questions which will cover topics that we studied before mid term exam. There will be about 75 questions for about 30 marks to be completed in 40 minutes.

Because of all this recompilation of exam papers and making copies etc. I was not able to update your marks for Lab exercises and product study presentations. I will finish that in next couple of days.

Wish you all good luck for the exam.
