orientation.

Project Objectives
This Project is made a part of the curriculum to allow a student to experience real-life situations
in order to substantiate their learnings. In addition, they are expected to learn new technologies
or methodologies or practices. A large part of the evaluation will depend on this. In addition, if
a student contributes in terms of an original solution or an idea or suggestions they will be
deemed valuable.
Project Submission
The project covers Introduction, Analysis and Design, Findings and Recommendations. At the end of
Semester IV, every learner has to submit the soft copy of the complete project online using Online Project

for preparing the Project Report. Figures and tables should be presented immediately following
their first mention in the text. All the figures and tables must be serially numbered, captioned,
and cited in the body text. Equations should form separate lines with appropriate paragraph
separation above and below the equation line, with equation numbers aligned to the right.
Learners have to submit the project based on the given below chapters/aspects. Project will be
assessed on the basis of following:
Chapter 1: Introduction
This chapter will give an overview of the project. It shall give an introduction to the fundamentals,
present scenario of various technologies/methodologies concerned with the theme of project
purpose, scope and objectives of the project, and background of the study. It will also include
the research problem (technical or Techno-business) under study and also clearly explain the
methodology of the conduct of research. It shall comprise of:
- Objectives
- Scope and Background
- User Requirements (If any)
- Unresolved Issues (If any)
The length of this chapter should be between 3-5 pages.

Chapter 2 Analysis of Work Done and Design


This is a very crucial chapter in the project since it explains the work done by the researcher and
