Preamble
These guidelines are intended to give both students and faculty members at the Department of
Computer Science and Engineering a set of procedures and expectations that will make the
project evaluation process easier, more predictable, and more successful. These guidelines
should also be interpreted as the minimum requirements of the degree awarded by Anna
P RO JEC T G U I D EL I N ES U N D ER G RA D U A T E
University. The Project Committee assigned for various programmes offered under Department of
Computer Science & Engineering may add requirements or guidelines as they see fit – as long as
there are no less demanding than the guidelines set forth in this document.
Eligibility
The Eligibility criteria for the Under Graduate students are to be followed as per the regulations
given by Anna University during Admission. The total internal assessment marks shall be 50 there
shall be three assessments (each 100 marks) during the semester by a review committee. The
Head of the Department shall constitute the review committee. The student shall make
presentation on the progress made before the committee. The total marks obtained in the three
assessments shall be reduced to 45 marks and rounded to the nearest integer. The remaining 5
The project is by far the most important single piece of work in the degree programme. It provides
the opportunity for you to demonstrate independence and originality, to plan and organise a large
project over a long period, and to put into practice some of the techniques you have been taught
throughout the course. The students are advised to choose a project that involves a combination
thorough evaluation of the project's output in both absolute and relative terms. Interdisciplinary
project proposals and innovative projects are encouraged and more appreciable.
A good tip is to try to think of the project as deliverable at reviews, rather than an effort to deliver a
fully-functioning "product". The very best projects invariably cover some new ground, e.g. by
developing a complex application which does not already exist, or by enhancing some existing
A straightforward implementation project is acceptable, but you must appreciate that it is unlikely
to gain high marks, regardless of how well it is done and its usage. Likewise, projects which are
predominantly survey reports, unless they are backed up with experimentation, implementation, or
A N N A U N I V E R SI T Y
theoretical analysis, e.g. for performing an objective comparison of surveyed methods, techniques
etc. Pure survey reports, with no supporting implementation or theory, are not acceptable.
UG students are to decide on their team members for their final semester project with their
proposed title & project guide and to suggest it to the project committee with a brief
D E P A R T M EN T O F C O M P U T ER SC I EN C E & EN G I N E ER I N G
Project report / Thesis to be prepared as per the guidelines and format given by Anna
University.
If the student fails to attend the review or the guide refuses to endorse the student’s work,
the committee can invite HOD. HOD is empowered to resolve any further matters.
In case of re-reviews, any number of re-reviews can happen depending on the discretion of
HOD, can initiate further steps to ensure the smooth implementation as deems appropriate
of guidelines.
If the work of the candidate is found to be insufficient and plagiarism, the committee & HOD
Marks split-up
Committee - 30 Marks (Each 10 marks)
Guide - 20 Marks
Total - 50 Marks
Choosing an Project
The idea for your project may be a proposal from a member of staff or your own, or perhaps a
Staff Proposals
P RO JEC T G U I D EL I N ES U N D ER G RA D U A T E
For projects proposed by members of staff you should discuss the project with the proposer as
soon as possible so that you have plenty of time to think about the best choices for you. Note that
not every project is suitable for every student: some may be specifically tailored to a particular
degree and some may only suit students with a very specific set of interests. Each proposal will
Own Proposals
If you have your own idea for an individual project it is your responsibility to find a member of staff
who both approves of the proposed programme of work and is willing to guide it. You should first
get the permission of Project Committee, and may proceed with the same with the consistent
The projects offered by staff may vary substantially in breadth, depth and degree of difficulty. The
most important thing is to shortlist a set of projects that are right for you. Some students are better
suited to well-defined and relatively safe projects that provide scope for demonstrating proficiency
with a low risk of failure. Other students are better advised to tackle harder, riskier projects that
If you are in are hope to win one of the illustrious project prizes, or achieve "Distinguished Project"
status, you should choose your shortlist with particular care. The potential guides will be happy to
offer advice on the suitability of a project, given your individual background, strengths and
ambitions. Remember that it is important to balance ambition and realism when making a choice.
For better help of projects you can search from websites like (IEEE, ACM, Elsevier, Springer,
etc...)
You must make sure that you arrange regular meetings with your guide. The meetings may be
A N N A U N I V E R SI T Y
brief once your project is under way but your guide needs to know that your work is progressing. If
you need to talk to your guide between meetings and cannot locate them in their office, contact
him/her and asking him/her to suggest a time when they will be available. When you go to see
your guide (or second marker) you should have prepared a written list of points you wish to
discuss. Take notes during the meeting so that you do not forget the advice you were given or the
D E P A R T M EN T O F C O M P U T ER SC I EN C E & EN G I N E ER I N G
conclusions that were reached.
Guides
The Guides are advised to give projects and suggest project titles focussing more on the current
field of research and ensure the level of innovation. Also guides are advised to check for the
formatting of the presentation and project report. Staff member cannot guide more than two
One of the most important skills which the project aims to assess is your ability to communicate
your ideas and work. As part of the assessment you will be required to give a presentation and
Each presentation will be for 10 minutes (to be decided by the project committee at the initial
stages and 20 for the final stages including a demonstration. Guides will help you to structure your
talk and will be willing to go through it with you beforehand. The presentation is also a compulsory
component of the project. The project committee will not allocate a mark for a project unless there
had been a formal presentation. The objective of the presentation is to find out exactly what you/
your team have done and to ensure that you get an accurate mark that is consistent with other
projects.
The project committee is advised to conduct the project reviews for the students of various
programmes within the stipulated period and the review marks to be sent to the head of the
department at the month end. The project committee is also advised to make necessary
arrangements required (Seminar hall availability and Projector, etc...) for the smooth conduct of
reviews.
