[Link] PROJECT WORK GUIDELINES
1. Preamble
These guidelines are intended to give both students and supervisor at IARE a set
of procedures and expectations that will make the project work evaluation process easier,
more predictable, and more successful. These guidelines should be interpreted as the
minimum requirements of the degree awarded by JNTUH, Hyderabad. The project work
committee assigned for various programmes offered by Institute of Aeronautical
Engineering may add requirements or guidelines as deemed fit.
2. Objective
The main objective of the Project Work is for the students to learn and experience
all the major phases and processes involved in solving “real life engineering problems”.
3. Expected Outcome
The major outcome of the B. Tech project must be well-trained students. More
specifically students must have acquired:
System integration skills
Documentation skills
Project management skills
Problem solving skills
4. Project Work
Out of total 200 marks for the project work, 60 marks shall be for internal
evaluation and 140 marks for the end semester examination (Viva - Voice) shall be
conducted by the committee. The committee consists of an external examiner, Head of
the Department and Supervisor of the Project. The evaluation of project work shall be
conducted at the end of the IV Year. The internal evaluation shall be on basis of two
seminars given by each student on the topic of his/her project and evaluated by an
internal committee.
5. General Suggestions and Expectations
The Project Work is by far the most important single piece of work in the
programme. It provides the opportunity for student to demonstrate independence and
originality, to plan and organize a large Project over a long period and to put into practice
some of the techniques student have been taught throughout the course. The students are
advised to choose a Project that involves a combination of sound background research, a
solid implementation, or piece of theoretical work, and a thorough evaluation of the
Project’s output in both absolute and relative terms. Interdisciplinary Project proposals
and innovative Projects are encouraged and more appreciable.
It is good to try to think of the Project as a deliverable at reviews rather than an
effort to deliver a fully- functioning 'product'. The very best Projects invariable covers
some new ground, e.g. by developing a complex application which does not already exit,
or by enhancing some existing application or method to improve its functionality,
performance etc.
A straightforward implementation Project is acceptable, but student must
appreciate that it is unlikely to gain high marks, regardless of how well it is done and its
usage. Likewise, Projects which are predominantly survey reports, unless they are backed
up with experimentation, implementation, on theoretical analysis, e.g. for performing an
objective comparison of surveyed methods, techniques etc. pure survey reports with no
supporting implementation or theory, are not acceptable.
6. Choosing the Right Project
The idea for student's Project may be a proposal from a faculty member or
student's own, or perhaps a combination of the two.
The Projects offered by faculty member may vary substantially in breadth, depth
and degree of difficulty. The most important thing is to shortlist a set of Projects that are
right for student. Some students are better suited to well-defined and relatively safe
Projects that provide scope for demonstrating proficiency with a low risk of failure. Other
students are better advised to tackle harder, riskier Projects that require a high degree of
original input and/or technical problem solving.
The potential Supervisors will be happy to offer advice on the suitability of a
Project, given student's individual background, strengths and ambitions. Remember that it
is important to balance ambition and realism when making a choice. For better help of
Projects student can search from websites like (IEEE, ACM, Elsevier, Springer, etc...)
All B. Tech projects are to be done in the Institute. For industry specified projects,
students will be permitted to spend 1-2 weeks in the industry on recommendation by the
supervisor. The number of students per batch should be 4.
7. Who will evaluate?
The End Semester evaluation shall be based on the report submitted and a viva-
voce exam for 140 marks by committee comprising of the head of the department, project
supervisor and an external examiner.
8. Assessment of the Project Work:
The project work shall be somewhat innovative in nature, exploring the research
bent of mind of the student. A project batch shall comprise of not more than four
students.
The project work shall be evaluated for 200 marks out of which 60 marks for
internal evaluation and 140 marks for end-semester evaluation. The evaluation shall be
done on the following basis:
Preliminary Evaluation : 15 marks
Design Evaluation : 15 marks
Implementation Evaluation : 30 marks
End - Semester Evaluation : 140 marks

Total Marks 140
Preliminary Evaluation for 15 marks is conducted, Design Evaluation for 15
marks and final implementation for 30 marks for Internal Evaluation.
Review is conducted by Head of the Department and the project supervisor on the
progress for 15 marks. On completion of the project a second evaluation is
conducted for award of internal marks of another 15 marks for presentation and
30 marks for implementation making the total internal marks 60.
The end semester examination shall be based on the report submitted and a viva-
voce exam for 140 marks by committee comprising of the Head of the
Department, project supervisor and an external examiner.
Student Guidelines
Every team is required to submit project after taking up a topic approved by the
Departmental Committee. The project work shall be somewhat innovative in
nature, exploring the research bent of mind of the student.
The Departmental Committee (DC) consists of HOD, Supervisor and two senior
experts in the department. The committee monitors the progress of Project Work.
The DC is constituted by the Principal on the recommendations of the department
Head.
Student shall register for the Project work with the approval of Departmental
Committee in the beginning of semester and continue the work till end of the
semester. The Departmental Committee (DC) shall monitor the progress of the
project work. A team has to identify the topic of work, collect relevant Literature,
preliminary data, implementation tools/methodologies etc., and perform a critical
study and analysis of the problem identified. They shall submit status report in
two different phases in addition to oral presentation before the Departmental
Committee for evaluation.
The DC shall evaluate the project for 60 internal marks based on the progress,
presentations and quality of work.
Three copies of the Project Work certified in the prescribed form by the
supervisor and HOD shall be presented to the Department library, one copy is to
be submitted to the central library, and one copy to be sent to the concern
supervisor.
A copy of the approved Project Work report after the successful completion of
viva examinations shall be kept in the library of the department.
9. Student – Proposals
If student has his/her own idea for an individual Project, it is the student's
responsibility to find a faculty member who both approves of the proposed programme of
work and is willing to be the supervisor. Student should first get the permission of Project
Committee, and may proceed with the consistent consent of the Supervisor.
10. Supervisor
The supervisor can suggest Project titles focusing more on the current field of
research and ensure the level of innovation. Also Supervisors are advised to check for the
formatting of the presentation and Project report.
11. Supervisor to Check
For Projects proposed by faculty member, student should discuss the Project
with the proposer as soon as possible so that student have plenty of time to think about
the best choices for student. Note that every Project is not suitable for every student;
some may be specifically tailored to a particular degree and some may only suit students
with a very specific set of interests. Each proposal will indicate these constraints in order
to help student to make an informed choice.
Advised to check for the formatting of the presentation and the documentation.
Check for the attendance of the students (Regular meeting for the discussions).
Advise the students to contribute some new techniques.
12. Student's Meeting with Supervisor
Student must make sure that she/he arranges regular meetings with student's
Supervisor. The meetings may be brief once student's Project is under way but student's
Supervisor need to know that student's work is progressing. If student need to talk to the
Supervisor and cannot locate him/her in office, contact him/her asking for a time when
she/he will be available. When a student goes to see the Supervisor she/he should have
prepared a written list of points she/he wish to discuss. Take notes during the meeting so
that student does not forget the advice she/he was given or the conclusions that were
reached.
13. Project Committee
The Project committee is advised to conduct the Project reviews for the students
of various programmes within the stipulated period. The project committee is also
advised to make necessary arrangements required (Seminar hall availability and
Dissertation or, etc…) for the smooth conduct of reviews.
The committee is advised to find the enough complexity in the Project.
All the panel members of project must be present during the review.
The reviews to be conducted in the seminar hall or the available class rooms (in
the department).
14. Project Presentation/Demonstration
The presentation is also a compulsory component of the Project. The Project
committee will not allocate marks for a Project unless there has been a formal
presentation. One of the most important skills which the Project aims to assess is
student's ability to communicate his/her ideas and work. The objective of the presentation
is to find out exactly what she/he seem to have done and to ensure that s/he get relevant
marks that is consistent with other Projects. As part of the assessment, the student will be
required to give a presentation and demonstration of his/her Project to the Project
Committee. Each presentation will be for 30 minutes. Supervisors will help him/her to
structure the talk and be willing to go through it with student beforehand. Other UG
students could be encouraged to attend the presentations as observers only, as the
feedback by the committee will benefit everybody.
