objective of these talks is to be expose students to real life / practical problems
and methodologies to solve them.

A seminar schedule will be prepared by the coordinator for all the students. It
should be from the 5th week to the last week of the semester and should be
strictly adhered to.

Each student will be required to

1. Submit a one page synopsis of the seminar to be delivered for display
on notice board.
2. Give a 20 minutes presentation followed by 10 minutes discussion.
3. Submit a technical write up on the talk delivered.
