The department will appoint a project coordinator who will coordinate the following:
 Collection of project topics/ descriptions from faculty members (Problems can also be invited from
the industries)
 Grouping of students (max 3 in a group)
 Allotment of project guides

The aim of project work is to develop solutions to realistic problems applying the knowledge and skills
obtained in different courses, new technologies and current industry practices. This requires students to
understand current problems in their domain and methodologies to solve these problems. To get awareness
on current problems and solution techniques, the first 4 weeks of VII semester will be spent on special
lectures by faculty members, research scholars, post graduate students of the department and invited lectures
by engineers from industries and R&D institutions. After completion of these seminars each group has to
formalize the project proposal based on their own ideas or as suggested by the project guide.
Seminar schedule will be prepared by the coordinator for all the students from the 5th week to the last week
of the semester which should be strictly adhered to.

Each group will be required to:

1. Submit a one-page synopsis before the seminar for display on notice board.
2. Give a 30 minutes’ presentation followed by 10 minutes’ discussion.
3. Submit a technical write-up on the talk.

At least two teachers will be associated with the Project Seminar to evaluate students for the award of
sessional marks which will be on the basis of performance in all the 3 items stated above.

The seminar presentation should include the following components of the project:
 Problem definition and specification
 Literature survey
 Broad knowledge of available techniques to solve a particular problem.
 Planning of the work, preparation of bar (activity) charts
 Presentation- oral and written.

Organisations/Computer Industry/Software Companies/R&D Organization for a period of 4-6 weeks. This
will be during the summer vacation following the completion of the III-year Course. One faculty coordinator
will also be attached to the group of 3 students to monitor the progress and to interact with the industry co-
ordinate (person from industry).
The course schedule will depend on the specific internship/training experience. The typical time per topic
will vary depending on the internship
- Overview of company/project
- Safety training
- Discussions with project teams
- Background research, review of documents, white papers, and scientific papers
- Planning, designing, and reviewing the planned work
- Executing the plans
- Documenting progress, experiments, and other technical documentation
- Further team discussions to discuss results
- Final report writing and presentation

After the completion of the project, each student will be required to:
1. Submit a brief technical report on the project executed and
2. Present the work through a seminar talk (to be organized by the Department)

Award of sessionals are to be based on the performance of the students at the workplace and awarded by
industry guide and internal guide (25 Marks) followed by presentation before the committee constituted by
the department (25 Marks). One faculty member will co-ordinate the overall activity of Industry Attachment

The aim of Project work –II is to implement and evaluate the proposal made as part of Project Work - I.
Students can also be encouraged to do full time internship as part of project work-II based on the common
guidelines for all the departments. The students placed in internships need to write the new proposal in
consultation with industry coordinator and project guide within two weeks from the commencement of
instruction.

The department will appoint a project coordinator who will coordinate the following:
1. Re-grouping of students - deletion of internship candidates from groups made as part of
project Work-I
2. Re-Allotment of internship students to project guides
3. Project monitoring at regular intervals

All re-grouping/re-allotment has to be completed by the 1st week of VIII semester so that students get
sufficient time for completion of the project.

All projects (internship and departmental) will be monitored at least twice in a semester through student
presentation for the award of sessional marks. Sessional marks are awarded by a monitoring committee
comprising of faculty members as well as by the supervisor. The first review of projects for25 marks can be
conducted after completion of five weeks. The second review for another 25 marks can be conducted after 12
weeks of instruction.

Common norms will be established for the final documentation of the project report by the respective
departments. The students are required to submit draft copies of their project report within one week after
completion of instruction.

Note: Three periods of contact load will be assigned to each project guide.
