    MMPP-001: PROJECT COURSE

    The Project Course is one of the important courses of MBA programme. This course is of 8 credits (equivalent to
    two courses). However, for registration purposes the Project Course (MMPP-001) is treated as one course. For
    this course no additional study material is provided.

    The basic purpose of this course is to help the learners develop ability to apply multi-disciplinary concepts, tools
    and techniques to analyse and logically approach the organisational problems. The course also exposes the
    students to industrial situations and exposes them to organisational environment. The Project study should be on
    a topic preferably from your area of specialisation in MBA.

    The Process:

    In order to proceed with your project course the approval of the synopsis is necessary. Only on the approval of
    the synopsis the project work could actually be taken up. The process involved in the evaluation and final
    approval of the synopsis is explained below:

    1) Selection of topic by the student:

    The learner can select any topic of her/his choice, preferably in their area of specialisation. The title should be
    definitive communicating key information about the thesis. It should convey the subject matter being covered in
    the project. The Project work can be either –

    i) A comprehensive case study (covering single organisation/multifunctional area problem formulation,


    analysis and recommendations), or
    ii) An inter-organisational study aimed at inter-organisational comparison/validation of theory/survey of
    management practices, or
    iii) A field study (empirical study).

    2) Selection of Guide

    Once you are clear about the field in which the work is to be taken up, then contact a person who has experience
    in that area and is interested in guiding, provided s/he fulfils the specified eligibility criteria.

    3) Preparation of Synopsis

    After selection of the guide and finalising the topic, the Project Proposal (Synopsis) should be prepared in
    consultation with the guide. The proposal of the proposed project should essentially have the following:

    (i) Introduction: a brief background about the subject chosen for study.

    (ii) Rationale: why a particular topic has been chosen for the project work.

    (iii) Objectives: This is the most important aspect of any project. It should mention clearly and precisely the
    things which you hope will be able to know/achieve at the end of the study. These may be clearly stated
    in behavioural terms. Objectives need to be expressed in a neutral manner, without any implicit
    assumptions about the findings of the research.

    (iv) Research Methodology:

     Research Design
     Nature and source of data/information to be collected.
     Sample and sampling technique. Rationale of chosen organisation and the sample.
     Tools and Techniques to be used for data collection – details of the tools/questionnaire to be used and
    its relevance with the objectives of the project.
     Method/s to be used for data collection.
     Data handling and analysis- organisation and analysis of data. Statistical tools to be used for analysis.
    Relevance of statistical tools with the objectives of the project.

    (v) Limitation of the proposed project, if any.

    4) Submission of Synopsis

    After the synopsis is prepared and submitted to the University, they are evaluated and a written communication
    regarding the Approval / Non-approval of the project proposal/ Guide will be sent to the learner within
    two/three months of the receipt of the proposal.

    5) Resubmission of Project Proposal

    In case of Non-Approval of the proposal the comments/suggestions for reformulating the project proposal will
    be communicated to the student. In such case, the revised project proposal should be submitted along with fresh
    project proposal proforma and a copy of the rejected proposal.

    Project Report Submission

    After a written communication regarding the Approval of synopsis is received the Project work may be
    undertaken.

    1) Preparation of Project Report

    Once you have carried out the study as envisaged in the approved synopsis then a report of the work done needs
    to be prepared. The length of the report may be about 50 double spaced typed pages not exceeding
    approximately 15,000 words (excluding appendices and exhibits). However, rational variation on either side is
    permissible.

    Structure of Project Report

    (i) Introduction: to the Project and Review of Literature along with brief details of the organisation/s under
    study..

    (ii) Research Methodology: It may give details about Rationale, Statement of problem, Objectives of the
    Project, Scope of the study etc. It should include the Research Design, Nature and Source of
    data/information collected, Sample and Sampling method with rationale. Details of the tools:

     The Questionnaire and other methods used and their purpose


     Reliability and Validity of the tools used
     Data collection, Statistical tools used for Data Analysis

    (iii) Results and Discussion: This should present the results in tabular or graphical format. The
    Interpretation of the data and results/findings may be given elaborately.

    (iv) Summary and Conclusion

    (v) Recommendations

    (vi) Limitations of the Project, Direction for further research (optional)

    (vii) Reference/Bibliography

    (viii) Annexures/Appendices (Questionnaire used etc.)
