Introduction: 100 marks project work each semester
Inclusion of project work in the course curriculum of the M.Com. programme is one of the ambitious aspects
in the programme structure. The main objective of inclusion of project work is to inculcate the element of
research work challenging the potential of learner as regards to his/ her eager to enquire and ability to interpret
particular aspect of the study in his/ her own words. It is expected that the guiding teacher should undertake
the counselling sessions and make the awareness among the learners about the methodology of formulation,
preparation and evaluation pattern of the project work.
• There are two modes of preparation of project work
1. Project work based on research methodology in the study area
2. Project work based on internship in the study area
Guidelines for preparation of Project Work
