Guidelines ForUG Seminar
Guidelines ForUG Seminar
Tech Seminar
1. Selection of topic/area
Select a paper according to the specialisation of students. Papers from any other
approved journals can also be selected.
2. Approval to the selected topic
After selecting the paper, get approval from the concerned faculty in charge.
3. Study of topic
Students are requested to acquire a thorough knowledge on the subject by referring
back papers and reference books (These may be included as references at the end of
the paper) on the corresponding area.
4. Preparation of slides for presentation
Slides may be presented in MS power point. Time allowed for presentation is 20
minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for discussions. So, number of slides may be
around 20 - 25 to adhere the time limit.
5. Organisation of slides
a. The first slide will be a title page showing the title, name of author (presenter),
roll no. and Class.
b. 2nd page will contain overview of the seminar
c. Successive pages will contain
a. Objectives of the paper
b. Introduction
c. Body of the paper includes system dynamics, methodology, graphs, block
diagrams etc. arranged in a logical sequence depending on the problem.
d. Results and discussions
e. Conclusion
d. Last page will contain references and bibliography. References must be
presented in IEEE format, which is given as Annexure 2.
6. Each slide consists of 4 or 5 lines with enough space between lines.
7. All equations must be typed using equation editor (available with MS office/other
office suite)
8. Each slide will have a title and each figure have a caption.
9. An abstract of the work (seminar) is to be circulated among the faculty and fellow
students before presentation of the seminar. The abstract is prepared as follows.
The seminar abstract is an important record of the coverage of topic and provides a
valuable source of leading references for students and faculty alike. Accordingly, the
abstract must serve as an introduction to your seminar topic. It will include the key
hypotheses, the major scientific findings and a brief conclusion. The abstract will be
limited to 500 words, excluding figures and tables. The abstract must contain
references to the research articles upon which the seminar is based as well as
research articles that have served as key background material. The references should
be listed using a standard format (IEEE format given in App. 1). The abstract must be
submitted to the faculty in charge and get approval before the presentation.
10. Draft copy of the Seminar report should also be submitted before the presentation
