Preamble
These guidelines are intended to give both students and faculty members at the Department of Computer
Science and Engineering a set of procedures and expectations that will make the project evaluation process
easier, more predictable, and more successful. These guidelines should also be interpreted as the minimum
requirements of the degree awarded by Anna University Chennai. The Project Committee assigned for
PROJECT GUIDELINES
POST GRADUATE
various programmes offered under Department of Computer Science & Engineering may add requirements
or guidelines as they see fit as long as there are no less demanding than the guidelines set forth in this
document.
Eligibility
The Eligibility criteria for PG student are to be followed as per the regulations given by Anna University
during admission. The project work for M.E. / M.Tech. consists of Phase I and Phase II. Phase I is to

(Phase - I) work in the subsequent semester.
In case of candidates of M.E. / M.Tech. not completing Phase - I of project work successfully, the
candidates can undertake Phase - I again in the subsequent semester. In such cases the
candidates can enroll for Phase-II, only after successful completion of Phase I.
Project work shall be carried out under the supervision of a qualified teacher in the Department
concerned. In this context qualified teacher means the faculty member possessing Ph.D degree
or PG degree with a minimum of 3 years experience in teaching PG courses.
A candidate may, however, in certain cases, be permitted to work on projects in an

such cases, the Project work shall be jointly guided by a guide of the department and an expert-as a
joint guide from the organization and the student shall be instructed to meet the guide periodically
and to attend the review committee meetings for evaluating the progress.
The Project work (Phase II in the case of M.E/M.Tech) shall be pursued for a minimum of 16 weeks
during the final semester.
The deadline for submission of final Project Report is 60 calendar days from the last working day of
from the last working day of the semester as per the academic calendar published by the University.

the semester in which project / thesis / dissertation is done. However, the Phase-I of the Project
M.E. / M.Tech., he/she shall resubmit the Project report within 60 days from the date of viva-voce.
The resubmitted project will be evaluated during the subsequent academic session.
Every candidate doing M.E. / M.Tech., shall send a paper / patent for publication in a journal or a
conference. An acknowledgement from the Guide for having communicated to the journal or
conference shall be attached to the report of the project work. Such acknowledgements shall be

Attendance register will be maintained separately in each lab. Attendance mark (5 marks) will be
awarded based on the interaction with guide (3 marks) and attendance (2 marks).
Choosing an Project
The idea for your project may be a proposal from a member of staff or your own, or perhaps a combination
of the two.
Staff Proposals
For projects proposed by members of staff you should discuss the project with the proposer as soon as
possible so that you have plenty of time to think about the best choices for you. Note that not every project
is suitable for every student: some may be specifically tailored to a particular degree and some may only
suit students with a very specific set of interests. Each proposal will indicate these constraints in order to
help you to make an informed choice.
Own Proposals
If you have your own idea for an individual project it is your responsibility to find a member of staff who both
approves of the proposed programme of work and is willing to guide it. You should first get the permission
of Project Committee, and may proceed with the same with the consistent consent of the guide.

Guides
The Guides are advised to give projects and suggest project titles focussing more on the current field of
research and ensure the level of innovation. Also guides are advised to check for the formatting of the
presentation and project report. Staff member cannot guide more than three candidates on the academic
schedule.
Each presentation will be for 10 and 20 minutes (to be decided by the project committee at the initial stages
and 30 to 40 minutes for the final stages including a demonstration. Guides will help you to structure your
talk and will be willing to go through it with you beforehand. The presentation is also a compulsory
component of the project. The project committee will not allocate a mark for a project unless there had been
a formal presentation. The objective of the presentation is to find out exactly what you/ your team have
