  Instructions for Assignment and Paper
  
  You can use Ms excel or Ms Word to solve any question in the assignment or paper. But you have to remember some basic points:
  
  1. Show the complete process to solve the question; otherwise you will not get full marks.
  2. If you write only the answer without any process, the question will not be taken as solved properly.
  3. If you solve the question on Ms Excel then paste the data on Ms Word after solving the question (Do not take screen shot of whole screen and paste it in exam software). You should also mention the formula separately which you have used to solve the question. If you not mention the formula at least half the marks will be deducted.
