1. Acquireinformationfromdifferent
entsources Topic related to the branch and current 12
area of interest i.e. articles in internet
on which research or review is
undergoing may be decided for the
students group. The group may be
restricted to maximum 5 students.
Literature survey from Internet , print
media and nearby practices may be
undertaken. Minimum of 10 to 15
papers may be suggested for reading to
get an overview and idea of matters.
2. Preparenotesfor giventopic Making review or concept to be penned 4
down in form of a article .( the article
or review may be of 8 – 10 pages
length in digital form of 12 font size in
Times New Roman font)
3. Presentgiventopicinaseminar A seminar or conference or work shop 4
