 MVCT-401 Thesis / Project
Marks
Internal : 200

The last semester will be exclusively for preparing a thesis / project on any
subject. The main objective is to provide an opportunity to each student to
do original and independent study and experimental work research; to
explore in depth and develop a subject of one's own choice to integrate
one's knowledge from theory and design courses undertaken in previous
semesters and to demonstrate the ability to use effectively the tools of
independent investigation and Judgment so as to add significance to the
knowledge of background studies.

The subject selected may be conceptual or practical in nature involving

historical/analytical/investigative pragmatic and case studies.

Each student will prepare the thesis under the guidance of an adviser and
the direction of the head of the department.
The preparation of thesis will move the following stages :-

1. Identification of the problem, its objective and scope and relevance to the
environment.

2. Literature surveyed enumeration of case studies, modus operandi and

identification of the problem of necessary, chapter wise contents.

3. Pre-final thesis / project submission.

4. Viva voce examination of final thesis / project.
