research credits and Seminar and Technical Writing courses.

R.10.0 Submission of Synopsis

R.10.1 Upon satisfactory completion of the research work and after the publication of at
least one research paper in Journals (Indexed in Scopus/Web of Science), the
student is permitted to submit the synopsis of the Research work to the
Controller of Examinations.

R.10.2 Prior to submission of the synopsis, copies of the synopsis and the draft thesis
should be handed over to the members of the MSC at least a week before the
date of the seminar. The student shall make a synopsis seminar in the
Department that may be open to all faculty members, research students and
members of MSC for getting feedback and comments, which may be suitably
incorporated into the synopsis and thesis under the advice of the supervisor.

R.10.3 After the approval of the research work reported in the synopsis by the MSC, the
Supervisor shall forward 5 hard copies of the synopsis of the proposed thesis,
with a soft copy on CD to the Controller of Examinations along with a panel of
at least six names as (Indian) examiners for adjudication of the thesis.

8
R.11.0 Submission of Thesis
R.11.1 A student for the M.Tech. (Research) degree can submit his thesis after successful
completion of at least 2 years from the date of admission. The maximum period
for submission of thesis is 4 years from the date of admission for all candidates.

R.11.2 While submitting for evaluation, the thesis shall have an undertaking from the
student and a certificate from the Supervisor attesting to the originality of the
work, vouching that there is no plagiarism after testing the thesis with a
Plagiarism software recommended by SRMIST and that the work has not been
submitted for the award of any other degree / diploma of the same Institution
where the work was carried out, or to any other Institution.

R.11.3 The student shall submit 5 hard copies of the thesis along with a soft copy on CD
to the Controller of Examinations through proper channel. The thesis must be
submitted within one month after the MSC approves the synopsis. If the student
fails to submit the thesis within one month, he will need to pay the thesis
processing fee once again. In any case, thesis submission beyond 4 years from
the date of admission is not permitted.

R.12.0 Evaluation of Thesis

R.12.1 The thesis submitted by the student shall be evaluated by his/her supervisor
and two examiners nominated by Vice Chancellor from among the panel of
members recommended by the supervisor.

R.12.2 The Controller of Examination shall take steps as deemed necessary to enable
the reports of the Examiners to be received as quickly as possible.

R.12.3 In the event of delay of more than 4 months in receiving the thesis evaluation
report from a selected examiner, the Controller of Examination may change
the examiner to the next available choice in the approved panel, if he is
convinced that there is no hope of receiving the evaluation report from the
chosen examiner.

R.12.4 The examiners including supervisor shall evaluate the thesis and provide a detail
report of the thesis. They shall also give the marks (in percentage) based on their
evaluation of the thesis.

R.12.5 On receipt of the reports from the Examiners the following procedure shall be
adopted.
a. The examiners are unanimous in recommending the award of the degree
without any modification of the thesis. This is a clear case for going for
the final requirement of viva-voce.

b. The examiners are unanimous in recommending the award of the degree

but at least one of the examiners has suggested modification and/or has
asked for clarifications. The candidate in that case shall make
modifications and provide the clarifications as suggested within a time to
be fixed by the MSC. These may be sent to the examiners, if so desired by
them, or otherwise felt appropriate by Controller of Examination.

c. One of the examiners does not recommend the award of the degree and
rejects the thesis whereas the other external examiner recommends the
award. The MSC in such a case may either ask the candidate to modify
the thesis as suggested within a given time not less than four months and
send the modified thesis to the same examiner again, or, recommend to
the Controller of Examination the appointment of another external
examiner and send the thesis to him in its original form. The third
examiner will be provided with copies of the evaluation reports of both
examiners, with the names of the examiners deleted and supervisors‘
reports. The third examiner is expected to address explicitly to the
observations of the original examiners. If the objections are adequately
dealt with to the satisfaction of the third examiner, the MSC and the
Director, the candidate will be declared successful, else he will be
declared failed.

d. If both the examiners reject the thesis, then the Controller of Examination
on the recommendation of the MSC, permit submission of a revised thesis
on an additional payment of the prescribed fee, after a suitable time to be
fixed by Controller of Examination.

e. The revised thesis shall be referred for assessment to two examiners

selected from a new panel of six experts recommended by the Supervisor.
The new examiners will be provided with copies of earlier thesis,
examiners‘ reports and details of changes made, in addition to the revised
thesis.

f. The examiners need to respond specifically to the observations of the

earlier examiners and the changes made by the student before re-
submission. If the two new reports are unanimous and favorable, the
student shall be awarded the degree.

10
R.13.0 Viva Voce Examination
R.13.1 Once the reports of the examiners have been accepted as satisfactory, the
candidate will have to defend the thesis before a viva voce board consisting of
all MSC members and one of the external examiners. If none of the external
examiners is available, viva-voce can be conducted by the MSC members
with an observer from within or outside the Institute nominated by the
Director. The defense will be open where faculty members and students of the
parent as well as other departments will be invited. The evaluation, however,
will be done by the MSC along with the external examiner. The external
examiner may either be one of the experts who have already adjudicated the
thesis or be another expert appointed for the purpose. The viva voce board
may recommend changes in the thesis.

R.13.2 If the viva voce board is not satisfied, the candidate has to appear again before
the board after elapse of three months. The MSC shall recommend to the
Controller of Examination the award of the M. Tech. (R) degree if the viva
voce is satisfactory and all other requirements have been fulfilled.

R.13.3 On completion of the viva voce, the student will submit two copies of the revised
thesis in prescribed format and two copies in electronic media, which, will be
archived in Institute and Departmental Libraries.

The evaluation of the viva-voce exam shall be carried out based on the following
Table.

Weightage of marks for the viva-voce Examination

Examiner Weightage
(a) Supervisor 20%
(b) External Examiner - I 30%
(c) External Examiner - II 30%
(d) MSC excluding supervisor 20%

R.14.0 Award of Degree

If the performance of the student in the Oral examination is satisfactory, he/she
will be awarded M.Tech. (Research) degree on the recommendation of the
Academic council and with the approval of the Board of Management of
SRMIST.
