04 EC 7191 SEMINAR 0 -0-2: 2 2015
Students have to register for the seminar and select a topic in consultation with any faculty member
offering courses for the programme. He / She shall choose the topic based on the references from
international journals of repute, preferably IEEE journals. A detailed write-up on the topic of the
seminar is to be prepared in the prescribed format given by the Department. The seminar shall be of
30 minutes duration and a committee with the Head of the department as the chairman and two faculty
members from the department as members shall evaluate the seminar based on the coverage of the
topic, presentation and ability to answer the questions put forward by the committee.

PROJECT PHASE I
04 EC 7193 0 -0-12: 6 2015
Project work is to be carried out in the third and fourth semesters. Project work is to be evaluated both
in the third and the fourth semesters. Based on these evaluations the grade is finalised in the fourth
semester.
In Master’s Project Phase-I, the students are expected to select an emerging research area in the field of
specialization. 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 Project. It is mandatory that the students should refer National and International
Journals and conference proceedings while selecting a topic for their Project. 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 Project topic.
Project evaluation weights shall be as follows:-
Total marks for the Project: 150
In the 3rd Semester:- Marks:50
Project Progress evaluation:
Progress evaluation by the Project Supervisor : 20 Marks
Presentation and evaluation by the committee : 30 Marks
Students should submit a copy of Phase-I project report covering the content discussed above and
highlighting the features of work to be carried out in Phase-II of the project. The candidate should
present the current status of the Project 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 project.

In the fourth semester, the student has to continue the Project work and after successfully
finishing the work, he / she has to submit a detailed bounded Project report. The work carried out
should lead to a publication in a National / International Conference or Journal. The papers received
acceptance before the M.Tech evaluation will carry specific weightage.
TOTAL MARKS:100
Project evaluation by the supervisor/s : 30 Marks
Evaluation by the External expert : 30 Marks
Presentation & evaluation by the Committee : 40 Marks
