that customer unhappiness is minimized.

skills and storing it in database is most challenging

just done our final year project which we have written above by
doing this project we would like to prove our self.

Instead of marginalizing your own work, highlight what you have done.
We understand all teams will not be very experienced!!!!

General TIPs
• Think, research, work on your idea/ abstract.
• Do not make it a hasty last-minute job, it shows
• DO NOT copy paste from internet. If you are planning to use a paper etc refer it.
• Early Field work might be productive to give ideas for some problems. Mention it
if you do with pictures.
• Highest Weightage to understanding of problem and depth of approach, but
other responses matter.
