Hours/Week 6 Hrs./week Hours ---

Capstone Project: The capstone project is executed in two phases. Capstone project-1 is executed
during VII Semester and Capstone Project-II is executed during VIII Semester which is an
extension of Capstone project-1.

Capstone Project-1: During phase I, the project student team will initially identify a potential
engineering problem either from industry/research/societal perspective in the niche technology.
A detailed literature survey, requirements identification, requirements elicitation, high level
and low-level designs has to be carried out for the identified problem. The students also have to
prepare a project report.

Rules and regulation

• A team should comprise minimum of two and maximum of three members.
• Internship projects are not allowed.
• Simple database related projects are not allowed.
Scheme of Evaluation
The Capstone Project-1 CIE is evaluated in two phases based on the rubrics.
Review-1: will be evaluated for 20 marks based on the following parameters: Preliminary study,
Literature survey, problem formulation, Motivation and Objectives.

Review-2: will be evaluated for 30 marks based on the following parameters: Requirements
Identification and Elicitation, High level and Low level designs, documentation and presentation.
Change of title is permitted during review-2 only upon panel recommendations.

Marks spilt up are as follows:

Panel

Review1 20 Guide

Review2 30 Guide + UG Project Coordinator

+ Industry Person
Final CIE = SUM(Review1+Review2)
= 50M

The rubrics for Review 1 and Review 2 will be framed by the internal committee comprising ofHOD,
UG NBA Coordinator, UG Project Coordinator, One Professor, One Associate Professor and One
Assistant Professor.

SEE will be conducted for 50 marks.
