Sl No DESCRIPTION
ACTIONS
1 Fifth semester students are not exposed to subjects like
transportation engineering and environmental Engineering. So
they cannot select a design project related to those subjects
2 Students are not supposed to guide by the faculty members to
select a topic in design project. Hence it is very difficult for
them if they are selecting a topic which is slightly different from
what they have studied.
