The project work constitutes a major component in most of the professional programmes and it is to
be carried out with due care and should be executed with seriousness by the candidates.
TYPE OF PROJECT
As majority of the students are expected to work out a real life project in some industry/research
and development laboratories/educational institutions/software companies, it is suggested that the
project is to be chosen which should have some direct relevance in day-to-day activities of the
candidates in his/her institution. Students are encouraged to work in the areas listed at the end.
However, it is not mandatory for a student to work on a real life project. The student can formulate
a project problem with the help of Guide.
PROJECT PROPOSAL (SYNOPSIS)
The project proposal should be prepared in consultation with your guide. The project proposal
should clearly state the project objectives and the environment of the proposed project to be
undertaken. The project work should compulsorily include the software development. The
project proposal should contain complete details in the following form:
1.

IV.
After finalising the topic and the selection of the guide, students should send the Project
Proposal Proforma given on page no. 5 along with the synopsis and bio-data of the guide to
The Regional Director of the Regional Centre concerned. Incomplete project proposals in any
respect will be immediately rejected.
COMMUNICATION OF APPROVAL
Communication regarding the Approval / Non-approval of the project will be sent to you within
four weeks after the receipt of the project proposal by the Regional Centre concerned. In case of
non receipt of status of approval of synopsis in specified time, you are advised to contact your
Regional Centre for the status.
RESUBMISSION OF THE PROJECT PROPOSAL IN CASE OF NON-APPROVAL
In case of non-approval, the suggestions for reformulating the project will be communicated to you.
The revised project synopsis along with a new proforma, should be re-submitted along with a copy
of the earlier synopsis and non-approval project proposal proforma in the next slot. For example, if
the student submitted the synopsis during the 1st April to 30th June slot and is not approved due to
some reasons, s/he is eligible to resubmit the revised project synopsis only during the next slot i.e.,
1st October to 31st December. These guidelines are applicable for earlier batch students also whose
project work is pending.
ELIGIBILITY OF PROJECT GUIDE
1. A person having Ph.D./M.Tech. in Computer Science.
OR
2. A person having B.E/B.Tech (Computer Science), MCA, M.Sc (Computer Science) with
