PROJECT (PHASE 1)
ECWT 7693 0-0-12-6 2015

In Master’s Project Phase-I, the students should select an emerging research area in the field that has
direct or indirect relation to the area of specialization. After conducting a detailed literature survey,
they should compare and analyze research work done and review recent developments in the area and
prepare an initial design of the work to be carried out as Master’s Project. It is mandatory that the
students should refer National and International Journals and conference proceedings while selecting a
topic for their Project. He/She should select a recent topic from a reputed International Journal,
preferably IEEE, ACM, Springer. Emphasis should be given for introduction to the topic, literature
survey, and scope of the proposed work along with some preliminary work carried out on the Project
topic.

Students should submit a copy of Phase-I Project report covering the content discussed above and
highlighting the features of work to be carried out in Phase-II of the Project. The candidate should
present the current status of the Project work and the assessment will be made on the basis of the work
and the presentation, by a panel of internal examiners in which one will be the internal guide. The
examiners should give their suggestions in writing to the students so that it should be incorporated in
the Phase–II of the Project.
