M.Tech Project (MTP1 and MTP2) Guide lines

M.Tech Project will be of one academic year duration.

M.Tech project will be continuously evaluated by M.Tech project
review committee.
There will be two progress seminars in each semester. The
evaluation of the progress of work will be carried out by an internal
evaluation committee consisting of two faculty members and the
supervisor.
At the end of the first semester, the evaluation of the work will be
carried out through a seminar presentation by the candidate. The
committee will be consisting of a chairman, an external reviewer
from outside the University and an internal reviewer who shall be
the supervisor. The same committee shall evaluate the M Tech
Project after the completetion and submission of the final report.
