(iii) Troubleshoot electronic circuit or software program

Guidelines & Evaluation Scheme

 Each of the students has to undertake a Project under the supervision of a teacher (max 4 students /
batch) and to submit the same following the guidelines stated below.
 Language of Project Report and Viva-Voce Examination may be English
 Failure to submit the Project Report or failure to appear at the Viva-voce Examination will be treated
as “Absent” in the Examination. He /she has to submit the Project Report and appear at the Viva-
Voce Examination in the subsequent years (within the time period as per University Rules).
 No marks will be allotted on the Project Report unless a candidate appears at the Viva-Voce
Examination. Similarly, no marks will be allotted on Viva-Voce Examination unless a candidate
submits his/her Project Report.
 Evaluation of the Project Work to be done jointly by one internal expert and one external expert with
equal weightage, i.e., average marks of the internal and external experts will be allotted to the
candidate.
