Project Guidelines
Understanding the significance of a Project Report
Many learners underestimate the significance of a project report and make a mistake of thinking that excellent
marks can be scored by simply producing a good lay-out. This is fundamentally not the case as many projects
are graded well below their potential because of an indifferent or poor write-up. In order to acquire the right
balance, a learner should consider the objective of making a good project. It provides the opportunity for a
learner to demonstrate independence and originality, to plan and organize the project work, and to put into
practice some of the techniques a learner has learned throughout the program.

Meaning of a Project
A project can be defined as a temporary Endeavour undertaken to achieve a particular objective or it is a study
of factual information for comprehending and applying the various concepts of the course into practice. In
simple words, a project can be understood as under: It is a practice of verification or demonstration of concepts
or hypotheses or processes learnt. It is also a technique of self-learning, learning by doing. It has a practical
value. The purpose of project is not to generalize but to study the situation with a practical orientation. We
allow learners to take up any topic of their interest and choice for project work. However, learners should bear
in mind that project topic should be relevant in their area of specialization. For example, the learners of Finance
specialization should carry out their project work only in the functional areas of Finance or IT learners should
select topics from their area of choice.

Although an illustrative list of the topics is being given at the end in order to give an idea about project topics
or titles of the project, learners are however advised not to restrict themselves only to the topics specified. We
gives liberty to select any topic relevant to a learner’s specialization.
