General

Guidelines: This course creates an excellent opportunity

for students to acquire the necessary skill set

for research; employability through massive

open online courses (MOOCs) where the rare

expertise of world famous experts from

academics and industry are available.

The basket for MOOCs will be a dynamic one;

as courses keep on updating with time.

In this semester 8 credits will have to be

acquired with online courses (MOOCs).

Students will have to complete 2 MOOC’s of

their choice in the third semester.

The MOOC-1 and MOOC-2 each carries

internal marks of 50; which will be attained

after he/she gets the MOOC certificate for

which he/she got himself/herself enrolled. For

end sem evaluation a Viva-Voce examination

shall be conducted and it will carrie 50 marks.

GUIDELINES FOR M. TECH. DISSERTATION/ THESIS

Phase-1

Every candidate shall be required to submit a thesis or dissertation on a topic approved by

the Dissertation Review Committee (DRC).

A Dissertation Review Committee shall be constituted with the Head of the Department

as Chairperson; Dissertation Supervisor and one senior faculty member of the

Department offering the M. Tech. programme.

Candidate has to present in Dissertation Work Review I; in consultation with his

Dissertation Supervisor; the title; objective and plan of action of his dissertation work to

the Dissertation Work Review Committee (DRC) for approval within four weeks from

the commencement of Second year First Semester. The Dissertation Work Review I

carries internal marks of 100. Evaluation should be done by the DRC for 50 marks and

the Supervisor will evaluate the review for the other 50 marks. Only after obtaining the

approval of the DRC can the student initiate the Dissertation work.

If a candidate wishes to change his/her supervisor or topic of the dissertation; he/she can

do so with the approval of the DRC. However; the DRC shall examine whether or not the

change of topic/supervisor leads to a major change of his initial plans of dissertation

proposal. If yes; his/her date of registration for the dissertation work starts from the date

of change of Supervisor or topic as the case may be.

A candidate shall submit his dissertation progress report in two stages at least with a gap

of three months between them.

The work on the dissertation shall be initiated at the beginning of the II year and the

duration of the dissertation is two semesters. A candidate is permitted to submit thesis

only after successful completion of all theory and practical courses with the approval of

DRC not earlier than 40 weeks from the date of approval of the dissertation work. For the

approval of DRC the candidate shall submit the draft copy of thesis to the Head of the

Department and make an oral presentation before the DRC.

The Dissertation Work Review II in II Year III Sem. carries internal marks of 100.

Evaluation should be done by the DRC for 50 marks and the Supervisor will evaluate the

work for the other 50 marks. The Supervisor and DRC will examine the Problem

Definition; Objectives; Scope of Work; Literature Survey in the same domain and

progress of the Dissertation Work. A candidate has to secure a minimum of 70% of

marks to be declared successful in Dissertation Work Review II. If he fails to obtain the

minimum required marks; he has to reappear for Dissertation Work Review-II as and

when conducted.

One paper in third semester has to be published in any one journal of UGC care;

SCOPUS or SCI.

After successful completion of Dissertation Work Review II; it will be further

adjudicated by an external examiner selected by the University. For this; the Principal of

the College/School/Institute shall submit name of examiners from among the list of

experts in the relevant specialization as submitted by the supervisor concerned and Head

of the Department. It will carries external marks of 200.

Phase-2

Evaluation should be done by the DRC for 125 marks and the Supervisor will evaluate it

for the other 125 marks. The DRC will examine the overall progress of the Dissertation

Work and decide whether or not the Dissertation is eligible for final submission. A

candidate has to secure a minimum of 70% of marks to be declared successful in

Dissertation Work Review III. If he fails to obtain the required minimum marks; he has to

reappear for Dissertation Work Review III as and when conducted. For Dissertation

Evaluation (Viva Voce) in II Year II Sem. there are external marks of 250 and it is

evaluated by the external examiner. The candidate has to secure a minimum of 50%

marks in Dissertation Evaluation (VivaVoce) examination.

After approval from the DRC; a soft copy of the thesis should be submitted for

ANTIPLAGIARISM check and the plagiarism report should be submitted to the

University and be included in the final thesis. The Thesis will be accepted for

submission; if the similarity index is less than 30%. If the similarity index has more than

the required percentage; the student is advised to modify accordingly and re-submit the

soft copy of the thesis after one month. The maximum number of re-submissions of thesis

after plagiarism check is limited to TWO. The candidate has to register for the

Review Committee. No further correspondence in this matter will be entertained; if there

is no specific recommendation for resubmission.

If the report of the examiner is satisfactory; the Head of the Department shall coordinate
