Abstract : We present time-resolved photometry and linear polarimetry of the two cataclysmic variables 2MASS J01303186+6221324 and 2MASS J03451159+533514. We classify the system 2MASS J01303186+6221324 as a deeply eclipsing intermediate polar which exhibits a deep eclipse of 1.8 mag with orbital period of 3.58 hr. However, the orbital period of the system 2MASS J03451159+533514 is found to be 7.8 hr. We also report the polarimetric observations of these two systems, where the polarization data reveals same periods with those obtained from photometrically. The variations of linear polarization from ~1.0-6.0 per cent are seen over an orbital cycle, with a minimum around the time of eclipse for both system.
