    Minor Research Project and Seminar:

    For students to enter into preliminary research field both in theory and experiment the concept of Project has been introduced in the final Semester. In the Project the student will explore new developments from the books and journals, collecting literature / data and write a Dissertation based on his / her work and studies. The Project Work can also be based on experimental work in industries / research laboratories.

      Selection of Topic:

    • 1. Students will make project which should be preferably a working of third thoughts based on heir subject.
    • 2. The student will be assigned a faculty guide who good the supervisor of the students. The faculty would be identified before the end of the III semester.
    • 3. The assessment of performance of the students should be made at least twice in the semester. Internal assessment shall be for 250 marks. The students shall present the final project live using overhead projector PowerPoint presentation on LCD to the internal committee and the external examiner.
    • 4. The evaluation committee shall consists of faculty members constituted by the college which would be comprised of at least three members comprising of the department Coordinator‟s Class Coordinator and a nominee of the Dirtier. The students guide would be special in bitted to the presentation. The seminar session shall be an open house session. The internal marks would be the average of the marks given by each members of the committee separately to the director in a sealed envelope.
