Topic Selected Subject Plans
Topic Online Experts

Selection of Topic:
• Selection of topic is a huge and important task in a Mini Project. One should have a clear idea about one's subject strengths and the
selected topic should be relevant to it. Always select the project that has value addition.
• As a graduate you should select a project which is either advantageous to a lot of people or enhance your technical and managerial
skills. Your project must play its role towards a positive growth/development in that specific field.
Research About The Selected Topic Online:
• Do some online research about the selected topic. Go through the research papers from different researchers around the world on the
topics related to Mini Project. Find some websites containing the information about the materials used for Mini Project.
Suggestions From Subject Experts
• Go to the subject experts in your college and interact with them about the Mini Project topic. You can also meet many subject experts
from various parts of India through social media and some discussion forums. This helps you in getting suggestions in different
possible ways, through which you can get a clear idea on your Mini Project topic.
Planning:
• After getting a clear idea about the topic, prepare a rough plan about procurement of resources,
experimentation and fabrication along with your teammates. Make a rough schedule, adapt to it and
distribute the work among your teammates. This will keep your Mini Project on track and individuals
will come to know about their part in the Mini Project rather than any individual (leader) taking full
responsibilities.
Execution of Plans:
• Make sure that the materials will be ready for the experimentation/fabrication by the scheduled time.
Follow the schedule during experimentation/fabrication to get accurate and efficient results.
Presentation:
• Experimentation/Fabrication does not make a Mini Project successful; one should be able to present the
results in proper way. So, it should be prepared in such a way that, it reflects the exact objective of your
Mini Project.
