N.E.P. Presentation Parameters!

Dear All,


Finally the formal list of the N.E.P. presentation parameters is here.


I've created the essential parameters with broad headers and have tried to explain the requirements of the same with some important points. The respective marks-division is also given. Though this is a comprehensive individual parameters' list, few adjustments might be made based on the group-performance (good or bad).


Feel free to go through it and write back in case you need clarification(s), if any!


Best wishes!
