1. GENERAL

1.1 TITLE:: M. Tech. Dissertation

1.2 *COURSE NUMBER (if known):: DP.MS692.15

1.3 CREDITS:: [0-0-50] 50 Credits

1.4 SEMESTER-OFFERED:: Tenth (X)

1.5 PRE-REQUISITES:: MST Core courses

2. OBJECTIVE:: The specific objectives of the course could depend on the problem definition for the project but the overall performance will be measured on the following criteria.

UNIT-I: Literature survey- Students will be having a brief literature survey on the topic selected by the allotted instructor/supervisor. A brief draft should be prepared out this activity.

UNIT-II: Problem Identification - An appropriate/feasible problem should be selected for the problem.

UNIT-III: Experimental/Theoretical work- The work needs to necessarily be novel or original and to the best possible extent, an extension of the previous project, so that a conclusive study can be made. A proper strategy should be worked out to solve/explore the problem undertaken. Accordingly, experiments should be planned well in advance, executed, followed by data analysis and interpretation.

UNIT-IV: Presentation/Demonstration- A presentation should be made for the work done during the semester having clear identification of problem/s undertaken, work done, objectivity of data analysis and a summary of the important results in both a seminar and report.

A combination of the above criteria can be used to grade the work. Typically, the following guidelines could be helpful for projects taken up as part of different semesters.

Evaluation procedure: Experimental/Theoretical work 75%, Demonstration and Presentation 25%.
