evaluation of the project work done after about 18 weeks. An interim project report is to be
submitted to the department during the mid-term evaluation. Each student has to submit to the
department a project report in prescribed format after completing the work.
The final evaluation and viva-voice will be after submission of the report. Each student has to
make a presentation on the work carried out, before the departmental committee for project
