one of them being the Guide. The CIE marks awarded for the Mini-project work shall be based on the evaluation of the project report, project presentation skill, and
question and answer session in the ratio of 50:25:25. The marks awarded for the project report shall be the same for all the batches mates.
(ii) Interdisciplinary: Continuous Internal Evaluation shall be group-wise at the college level with the participation of all the guides of the project.
The CIE marks awarded for the Mini-project, shall be based on the evaluation of the project report, project presentation skill, and question and answer session in the
ratio 50:25:25. The marks awarded for the project report shall be the same for all the batch mates.
No SEE component for Mini-Project.

Professional Elective Courses (PEC): A professional elective (PEC) course is intended to enhance the depth and breadth of educational experience in the Engineering and
Technology curriculum. Multidisciplinary courses that are added supplement the latest trend and advanced technology in the selected stream of engineering. Each
group will provide an option to select one course. The minimum number of students’ strengths for offering a professional elective is 10. However, this conditional shall
not be applicable to cases where the admission to the program is less than 10.

Elucidation:
At the beginning of IV years of the program i.e., after VI semester, VII semester classwork and VIII semester Research Internship /Industrial Internship / Rural Internship
shall be permitted to be operated simultaneously by the University so that students have ample opportunity for an internship. In other words, a good percentage of the
class shall attend VII semester classwork and a similar percentage of others shall attend to Research Internship or Industrial Internship or Rural Internship.
Research/Industrial /Rural Internship shall be carried out at an Industry, NGO, MSME, Innovation center, Incubation center, Start-up, center of Excellence (CoE), Study
Centre established in the parent institute and /or at reputed research organizations/institutes.
The mandatory Research internship /Industry internship / Rural Internship is for 14 to 20 weeks. The internship shall be considered as a head of passing and shall be
considered for the award of a degree. Those, who do not take up/complete the internship shall be declared to fail and shall have to complete it during the subsequent
University examination after satisfying the internship requirements.
Research internship: A research internship is intended to offer the flavor of current research going on in the research field. It helps students get familiarized with the
field and imparts the skill required for carrying out research.
Industry internship: Is an extended period of work experience undertaken by students to supplement their degree for professional development. It also helps
them learn to overcome unexpected obstacles and successfully navigate organizations, perspectives, and cultures. Dealing with contingencies helps students recognize,
appreciate, and adapt to organizational realities by tempering their knowledge with practical constraints.
Rural Internship: Rural development internship is an initiative of Unnat Bharat Abhiyan Cell, RGIT in association with AICTE to involve students of all departments
studying in different academic years for exploring various opportunities in techno-social fields, to connect and work with Rural India for their upliftment.
The faculty coordinator or mentor has to monitor the student’s internship progress and interact with them to guide for the successful completion of the internship.
The students are permitted to carry out the internship anywhere in India or abroad. University shall not bear any expenses incurred in respect of the internship.

With the consent of the internal guide and Principal of the Institution, students shall be allowed to carry out the internship at their hometown ( within or outside the
state or abroad), provided favorable facilities are available for the internship and the student remains regularly in contact with the internal guide. University shall not
bear any cost involved in carrying out the internship by students. However, students can receive any financial assistance extended by the organization.
Professional Elective /Open Elective Course:These are ONLINE courses suggested by the respective Board of Studies. Details of these courses shall be made available for students on the VTU web portal.

Please note: If any clarifications / suggestions please email to [email protected]
