Amity University aims to achieve academic excellence by providing multi-faceted education

to students and encourage them to reach the pinnacle of success. The University has designed
a system that would provide rigorous academic programme with necessary skills to enable
them to excel in their careers.

This booklet contains the Programme Structure, the Detailed Curriculum and the Scheme of
Examination. The Programme Structure includes the courses (Core and Elective), arranged
semester wise. The importance of each course is defined in terms of credits attached to it. The
credit units attached to each course has been further defined in terms of contact hours i.e.
Lecture Hours (L), Tutorial Hours (T), Practical Hours (P). Towards earning credits in terms
of contact hours, 1 Lecture and 1 Tutorial per week are rated as 1 credit each and 2 Practical
hours per week are rated as 1 credit. Thus, for example, an L-T-P structure of 3-0-0 will have
3 credits, 3-1-0 will have 4 credits, and 3-1-2 will have 5 credits.

The Curriculum and Scheme of Examination of each course includes the course objectives,
course contents, scheme of examination and the list of text and references. The scheme of
examination defines the various components of evaluation and the weightage attached to each
component. The different codes used for the components of evaluation and the weightage
attached to them are:

 SUMMER PROJECT - I
Course Code: ARC 2335 Credit Units: 03

GUIDELINES FOR PROJECT FILE AND PROJECT REPORT

Research experience is as close to a professional problem-solving activity as anything in the curriculum. It
provides exposure to research methodology and an opportunity to work closely with a faculty guide. It usually
requires the use of advanced concepts, a variety of experimental techniques, and state-of-the-art instrumentation.
Research is genuine exploration of the unknown that leads to new knowledge which often warrants publication.
But whether or not the results of a research project are publishable, the project should be communicated in the
form of a research report written by the student.

Sufficient time should be allowed for satisfactory completion of reports, taking into account that initial drafts
should be critically analyzed by the faculty guide and corrected by the student at each stage.

PROJECT FILE
The Project File may be a very useful tool for undertaking an assignment along-with a normal semester, an
exploratory study, sponsored projects, a project undertaken during summer period or any other period where the
researcher is not working with a company/organization. The project/ assignment may also be a part of the bigger
research agenda being pursued by a faculty/ institution/ department
The Project File is the principal means by which the work carried out will be assessed and therefore great care
should be taken in its preparation. This file may be considered in continuous assessment.

In general, the File should be comprehensive and include:

• A short account of the activities that were undertaken as part of the project;
• A statement about the extent to which the project has achieved its stated objectives;
• A statement about the outcomes of the evaluation and dissemination processes engaged in as part of the
project;
• Any activities planned but not yet completed as part of the project, or as a future initiative directly resulting
from the project;
• Any problems that have arisen and may be useful to document for future reference.

PROJECT REPORT
The Project Report is the final research report that the student prepares on the project assigned to him. In case of
sponsored project the lay out of the project could be as prescribed by the sponsoring organization. However, in
other cases the following components should be included in the project report:

➢ Title or Cover Page

The title page should contain Project Title; Student’s Name; Programme; Year and Semester and Name of
the Faculty Guide.

➢ Acknowledgement(s)
Acknowledgment to any advisory or financial assistance received in the course of work may be given. It is
incomplete without student’s signature.

➢ Abstract
A good "Abstract" should be straight to the point; not too descriptive but fully informative. First paragraph
should state what was accomplished with regard to the objectives. The abstract does not have to be an entire
summary of the project, but rather a concise summary of the scope and results of the project. It should not
exceed more than 1000 words.

➢ Table of Contents
Titles and subtitles are to correspond exactly with those in the text.

➢ Introduction
Here a brief introduction to the problem that is central to the project and an outline of the structure of the
rest of the report should be provided. The introduction should aim to catch the imagination of the reader, so
excessive details should be avoided.

➢ Materials and Methods

This section should aim at experimental designs, materials used (wherever applicable). Methodology should
be mentioned in details including modifications undertaken, if any. It includes organization site(s), sample,
instruments used with its validation, procedures followed and precautions.
➢ Results and Discussion
Present results, discuss and compare these with those from other workers, etc. In writing this section,
emphasis should be laid on what has been performed and achieved in the course of the work, rather than
discuss in detail what is readily available in text books. Avoid abrupt changes in contents from section to
section and maintain a lucid flow throughout the thesis. An opening and closing paragraph in every chapter
could be included to aid in smooth flow.

Note that in writing the various secions, all figures and tables should as far as possible be next to the
associated text, in the same orientation as the main text, numbered, and given appropriate titles or captions.
All major equations should also be numbered and unless it is really necessary, do not write in “point” form.

While presenting the results, write at length about the the various statistical tools used in the data
interpretation. The result interpretation should be simple but full of data and statistical analysis. This data
interpretation should be in congruence with the written objectives and the inferences should be drawn on
data and not on impression. Avoid writing straight forward conclusion rather, it should lead to
generalization of data on the chosen sample.

 SUMMER PROJECT - II

Course Code: ARC 2535 Credit Units: 03

Guidelines for Project File and Project Report

Research experience is as close to a professional problem-solving activity as anything in the curriculum. It
provides exposure to research methodology and an opportunity to work closely with a faculty guide. It usually
requires the use of advanced concepts, a variety of experimental techniques, and state-of-the-art instrumentation.
Research is genuine exploration of the unknown that leads to new knowledge which often warrants publication.
But whether or not the results of a research project are publishable, the project should be communicated in the
form of a research report written by the student.

Sufficient time should be allowed for satisfactory completion of reports, taking into account that initial drafts
should be critically analyzed by the faculty guide and corrected by the student at each stage.

PROJECT FILE
The Project File may be a very useful tool for undertaking an assignment along-with a normal semester, an
exploratory study, sponsored projects, a project undertaken during summer period or any other period where the
researcher is not working with a company/organization. The project/ assignment may also be a part of the bigger
research agenda being pursued by a faculty/ institution/ department
The Project File is the principal means by which the work carried out will be assessed and therefore great care
should be taken in its preparation. This file may be considered in continuous assessment.

In general, the File should be comprehensive and include

• A short account of the activities that were undertaken as part of the project;
• A statement about the extent to which the project has achieved its stated objectives;
• A statement about the outcomes of the evaluation and dissemination processes engaged in as part of the
project;
• Any activities planned but not yet completed as part of the project, or as a future initiative directly resulting
from the project;
• Any problems that have arisen and may be useful to document for future reference.

PROJECT REPORT
The Project Report is the final research report that the student prepares on the project assigned to him. In case of
sponsored project the lay out of the project could be as prescribed by the sponsoring organization. However, in
other cases the following components should be included in the project report:

➢ Title or Cover Page

The title page should contain Project Title; Student’s Name; Programme; Year and Semester and Name of
the Faculty Guide.

➢ Acknowledgement(s)
Acknowledgment to any advisory or financial assistance received in the course of work may be given. It is
incomplete without student’s signature.

➢ Abstract
A good "Abstract" should be straight to the point; not too descriptive but fully informative. First paragraph
should state what was accomplished with regard to the objectives. The abstract does not have to be an entire
summary of the project, but rather a concise summary of the scope and results of the project. It should not
exceed more than 1000 words.

➢ Table of Contents
Titles and subtitles are to correspond exactly with those in the text.

➢ Introduction
Here a brief introduction to the problem that is central to the project and an outline of the structure of the
rest of the report should be provided. The introduction should aim to catch the imagination of the reader, so
excessive details should be avoided.

➢ Materials and Methods

This section should aim at experimental designs, materials used (wherever applicable). Methodology should
be mentioned in details including modifications undertaken, if any. It includes organization site(s), sample,
instruments used with its validation, procedures followed and precautions.
➢ Results and Discussion
Present results, discuss and compare these with those from other workers, etc. In writing this section,
emphasis should be laid on what has been performed and achieved in the course of the work, rather than
discuss in detail what is readily available in text books. Avoid abrupt changes in contents from section to
section and maintain a lucid flow throughout the thesis. An opening and closing paragraph in every chapter
could be included to aid in smooth flow.

Note that in writing the various secions, all figures and tables should as far as possible be next to the
associated text, in the same orientation as the main text, numbered, and given appropriate titles or captions.
All major equations should also be numbered and unless it is really necessary, do not write in “point” form.

While presenting the results, write at length about the the various statistical tools used in the data
interpretation. The result interpretation should be simple but full of data and statistical analysis. This data
interpretation should be in congruence with the written objectives and the inferences should be drawn on
data and not on impression. Avoid writing straight forward conclusion rather, it should lead to
generalization of data on the chosen sample.

Results and its discussion should be supporting/contradicting with the previous research work in the given
area. Usually one should not use more than two researches in either case of supporing or contradicting the
present case of research.

➢ Conclusion(s) & Recommendations

A conclusion should be the final section in which the outcome of the work is mentioned briefly.
Check that your work answers the following questions:
• Did the research project meet its aims (check back to introduction for stated aims)?
• What are the main findings of the research?
• Are there any recommendations?
• Do you have any conclusion on the research process itself?

➢ Implications for Future Research

This should bring out further prospects for the study either thrown open by the present work or with the
purpose of making it more comprehensive.

➢ Appendices
The Appendices contain material which is of interest to the reader but not an integral part of the thesis and
any problem that have arisen that may be useful to document for future reference.

➢ References
References should include papers, books etc. referred to in the body of the report. These should be written
in the alphabetical order of the author's surname. The titles of journals preferably should not be abbreviated;
if they are, abbreviations must comply with an internationally recognised system.

 SUMMER PROJECT - III

Course Code: ARC 2735 Credit Units: 06

GUIDELINES FOR PROJECT FILE AND PROJECT REPORT

Research experience is as close to a professional problem-solving activity as anything in the curriculum. It provides
exposure to research methodology and an opportunity to work closely with a faculty guide. It usually requires the
use of advanced concepts, a variety of experimental techniques, and state-of-the-art instrumentation.
Research is genuine exploration of the unknown that leads to new knowledge which often warrants publication. But
whether or not the results of a research project are publishable, the project should be communicated in the form of a
research report written by the student.

Sufficient time should be allowed for satisfactory completion of reports, taking into account that initial drafts should
be critically analyzed by the faculty guide and corrected by the student at each stage.

PROJECT FILE
The Project File may be a very useful tool for undertaking an assignment along-with a normal semester, an
exploratory study, sponsored projects, a project undertaken during summer period or any other period where the
researcher is not working with a company/organization. The project/ assignment may also be a part of the bigger
research agenda being pursued by a faculty/ institution/ department
The Project File is the principal means by which the work carried out will be assessed and therefore great care
should be taken in its preparation. This file may be considered in continuous assessment.

In general, the File should be comprehensive and include

• A short account of the activities that were undertaken as part of the project;
• A statement about the extent to which the project has achieved its stated objectives;
• A statement about the outcomes of the evaluation and dissemination processes engaged in as part of the project;
• Any activities planned but not yet completed as part of the project, or as a future initiative directly resulting
from the project;
• Any problems that have arisen and may be useful to document for future reference.

PROJECT REPORT
The Project Report is the final research report that the student prepares on the project assigned to him. In case of
sponsored project the lay out of the project could be as prescribed by the sponsoring organization. However, in other
cases the following components should be included in the project report:

➢ Title or Cover Page

The title page should contain Project Title; Student’s Name; Programme; Year and Semester and Name of the
Faculty Guide.

➢ Acknowledgement(s)
Acknowledgment to any advisory or financial assistance received in the course of work may be given. It is
incomplete without student’s signature.

➢ Abstract
A good "Abstract" should be straight to the point; not too descriptive but fully informative. First paragraph
should state what was accomplished with regard to the objectives. The abstract does not have to be an entire
summary of the project, but rather a concise summary of the scope and results of the project. It should not
exceed more than 1000 words.

➢ Table of Contents
Titles and subtitles are to correspond exactly with those in the text.

➢ Introduction
Here a brief introduction to the problem that is central to the project and an outline of the structure of the rest of
the report should be provided. The introduction should aim to catch the imagination of the reader, so excessive
details should be avoided.

➢ Materials and Methods

 This section should aim at experimental designs, materials used (wherever applicable). Methodology should be
mentioned in details including modifications undertaken, if any. It includes organization site(s), sample,
instruments used with its validation, procedures followed and precautions.

➢ Results and Discussion

Present results, discuss and compare these with those from other workers, etc. In writing this section, emphasis
should be laid on what has been performed and achieved in the course of the work, rather than discuss in detail
what is readily available in text books. Avoid abrupt changes in contents from section to section and maintain a
lucid flow throughout the thesis. An opening and closing paragraph in every chapter could be included to aid in
smooth flow.

Note that in writing the various secions, all figures and tables should as far as possible be next to the associated
text, in the same orientation as the main text, numbered, and given appropriate titles or captions. All major
equations should also be numbered and unless it is really necessary, do not write in “point” form.

While presenting the results, write at length about the the various statistical tools used in the data interpretation.
The result interpretation should be simple but full of data and statistical analysis. This data interpretation should
be in congruence with the written objectives and the inferences should be drawn on data and not on impression.
Avoid writing straight forward conclusion rather, it should lead to generalization of data on the chosen sample.

Results and its discussion should be supporting/contradicting with the previous research work in the given area.
Usually one should not use more than two researches in either case of supporing or contradicting the present
case of research.

➢ Conclusion(s) & Recommendations

A conclusion should be the final section in which the outcome of the work is mentioned briefly.
Check that your work answers the following questions:
• Did the research project meet its aims (check back to introduction for stated aims)?
• What are the main findings of the research?
• Are there any recommendations?
• Do you have any conclusion on the research process itself?

➢ Implications for Future Research

This should bring out further prospects for the study either thrown open by the present work or with the purpose
of making it more comprehensive.

➢ Appendices
The Appendices contain material which is of interest to the reader but not an integral part of the thesis and any
problem that have arisen that may be useful to document for future reference.

➢ References
References should include papers, books etc. referred to in the body of the report. These should be written in
the alphabetical order of the author's surname. The titles of journals preferably should not be abbreviated; if
they are, abbreviations must comply with an internationally recognised system.
