The main objective of the thesis is to provide an opportunity to each student to do original and
independent study and research on the area of specialization. The student is required to explore in
depth and develop a subject of his/her own choice, which adds significantly to the body of
knowledge existing in the relevant field. The student has to undertake a thesis preliminary work
on the stream of specialization during this semester. The fourth semester Thesis shall be an
extension of this work in the same area. The student has to present two seminars and submit an
interim thesis report. The seminar and report shall be evaluated by the evaluation committee. The
first seminar would highlight the topic objectives and methodology and expected results. The
first seminar shall be conducted in the first half of this semester. The second seminar is
presentation of the interim thesis report of the work completed and scope of the work which is to
be accomplished in the fourth semester.
The student has to continue the thesis work done in second and third semesters. There would be
an interim presentation at the first half of the semester to evaluate the progress of the work and at
the end of the semester there would be a pre-Submission seminar before the Evaluation
committee for assessing the quality and quantum of work. This would be the qualifying exercise
for the students for getting approval from the Department Committee for the submission of
Thesis. At least once technical paper is to be prepared for possible publication in
Journals/Conferences. The final evaluation of the Thesis would be conducted by the board of
examiners constituted by the University including the guide and the external examiner.
