• Title page (with name of team members and mentor teacher)
• Certificate (in the Format given in this document as annexure A )
• Acknowledgements (this may need revision at the end of the final semester)
• Abstract (in one paragraph not more than 150 words)
• Content Page
• Chapter-1 Introduction (background of the Industry or User based Problem/Task)
• Chapter-2 Literature Survey (to finalise and define the Problem Statement)
• Chapter-3 Scope of the project
• Chapter-4 Methodology
• Chapter-5 Details of designs, working and processes
• Chapter-6 Results and Applications
• Chapter-7 Conclusions And future scope
• Appendix (if any)
• References and Bibliography
• The report should contain as many diagrams, figures and charts etc as relevant for the project.
• Originality of the report (written in own words) would be given more importance rather than quality of printing and use of glossy paper or multi-colour printing

ASSESSMENT OF PROJECT WORK

Special teaching stretagies (if any).

• Teachers should not spoon feed the students and let them try on their own at different stages of the project work and even first let them strive hard and only when efforts of students have failed, then teacher should guide them. Guidance should be in initially in the form of clues or hints rather than complete explanation, detailed explanation should be given only when students are not able to work based on clues/hints. The role of teacher should be limited to guide and facilitator
• Teachers should help students in selecting a topic which is relevant and challenging (but within capacity) for students according to their abilities.
• Teachers should come out of the mindset that there should be compulsorily some innovation and novelty in the project work. Because as discussed earlier, project is mainly opportunity for work based or experiential learning, the aim of which is to develop higher order cognitive skills and attitudes. Project at diploma level is not research or innovation. The main thing teachers have to ensure is that students choose a task or problem for their project work which is challenging but according to their capability i.e. a task which they can complete on their own without getting it done from market.
• Teachers should ensure that students prepare the project plan in as much detail as possible, since this way only they would learn the importance of planning and how to do the detail planning. Teachers should allow students to proceed ahead only when they have detailed plan with them.
• Teachers should motivate students to maintain project document project diary and project report. They should explain benefits of these activities to students and also train them in these activities, because most of them may be doing this first time.
• Project Guide should ensure that students submit chapter of report one by one to him/her as per schedule and should check the content of the chapters. The Project guide should monitor that schedule is maintained and report writing is not left till last few weeks. It should not be a problem since first three chapters of the report should have been written in fifth semester itself.
• Teachers should also encourage students to openly discuss their weaknesses and shortcomings .Teachers should develop confidence in students that admitting mistakes and weaknesses helps in improving them.
• Teachers should continuously discuss with students about working of group and progress in the project and from this discussion should identify their personal qualities (both strengths and weaknesses) and suggest to them ways for improving those qualities.
• Internal as well as external examiners should reward students for original work and efforts of students even if they are not fully successful or not able to complete the project in comparison to those students who have taken paid help from others to complete their project.
