 The project work should normally include software development.
 The students are expected to work on real-life project. 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 her/his faculty incharge and if
approved, the students commence working on it.
 A group is required to present the progress of the project work during the semester as per the
schedule.
