MITNE 304	MASTER’S THESIS PHASE - I	L	T	P	C
		0	0	20	5

In master’s thesis Phase-I, the students are expected to select an emerging research area in Computer Science or related fields, After conducting a detailed literature survey, they should compare and analyze research work done and review recent developments in the area and prepare an initial design of the work to be carried out as Master’s Thesis. It is expected that the students should refer National and International Journals and proceedings of National and International conferences while selecting a topic for their thesis. He/She should select a recent topic from a reputed International Journal, preferably IEEE/ACM. Emphasis should be given for introduction to the topic, literature survey, and scope of the proposed work along with some preliminary work carried out on the thesis topic.

Students should submit a copy of Phase-I thesis report covering the content discussed above and highlighting the features of work to be carried out in Phase-II of the thesis. Students should follow standard practice of thesis writing. Presenting the work, carried out by the students in a National/International Conference is encouraged.

The candidate should present the current status of the thesis work and the assessment will be made on the basis of the work and the presentation, by a panel of internal examiners in which one will be the internal guide. The examiners should give their suggestions in writing to the students so that it should be incorporated in the Phase–II of the thesis.

In the fourth semester, the student has to continue the thesis work and after the successful completion of the work, he / she have to submit a detailed thesis report. The work carried out should lead to a publication in a National / International Conference. They should submit the paper before the evaluation of the thesis and specific weightage will be given to accepted papers in reputed conferences.

A comprehensive viva-voce examination will be conducted at the end of the fourth semester by an internal examiner and external examiners appointed by the university to assess the candidate’s overall knowledge in the respective field of specialization.
