6.6 PROJECT WORK

L T P
- - 12

Project work aims at developing skills in the students whereby they apply the totality of
knowledge and skills gained through the course in the solution of particular problem or
undertaking a project. The students have various aptitudes and strengths. Project work,
therefore, should match the strengths of students. For this purpose, students should be
asked to identify the type of project work, they would like to execute. It is also essential
that the faculty of the respective department may have a brainstorming session to identify
suitable project assignments. The project assignment can be individual assignment or a
group assignment. There should not be more than 3 students if the project work is given
for a group. The students should identify or given project assignment at least two to three
months in advance. The project work identified in collaboration with industry may be
preferred.

Each teacher is expected to guide the project work of 5-6 students.

- Projects related to increasing productivity

- Projects related to quality assurance
- Projects related to estimation and economics of production
- Projects connected with repair and maintenance of plant and equipment
- Projects related to identification of raw material thereby reducing the
wastage
- Any other related problems of interest of host industry

A suggestive criteria for assessing student performance by the external (personnel from
industry) and internal (teacher) examiner is given in table below:

Sr. Performance criteria Max. Rating Scale

8. Report writing skills 10 10 8 6 4 2
9. Viva voce 10 10 8 6 4 2
Total marks 100 100 80 60 40 20
 136
The overall grading of the practical training shall be made as per following table

Range of maximum marks Overall grade

i) More than 80 Excellent
ii) 79 <> 65 Very good
iii) 64 <> 50 Good
iv) 49 <> 40 Fair
v) Less than 40 Poor

In order to qualify for the diploma, students must get “Overall Good grade” failing which
the students may be given one more chance of undergoing 8 -10 weeks of project
oriented professional training in the same industry and re-evaluated before being
disqualified and declared “not eligible to receive diploma ”. It is also important to note
that the students must get more than six “goods” or above “good” grade in different
performance criteria items in order to get “Overall Good” grade.

Important Notes

1. This criteria must be followed by the internal and external examiner and
they should see the daily, weekly and monthly reports while awarding marks
as per the above criteria.

2. The criteria for evaluation of the students have been worked out for 100
maximum marks. The internal and external examiners will evaluate students
separately and give marks as per the study and evaluation scheme of
examination.

3. The external examiner, preferably, a person from industry/organization, who

has been associated with the project-oriented professional training of the
students, should evaluate the students performance as per the above criteria.

4. It is also proposed that two students or two projects which are rated best be
given merit certificate at the time of annual day of the institute. It would be
better if specific nearby industries are approached for instituting such
awards.

The teachers are free to evolve another criteria of assessment, depending upon the type of
project work.

It is proposed that the institute may organize an annual exhibition of the project work
done by the students and invite leading Industrial organisations in such an exhibition. It is
also proposed that two students or two projects which are rated best be given merit
certificate at the time of annual day of the institute. It would be better if specific
industries are approached for instituting such awards.
