ECE 10 303(P): INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
Teaching scheme: 1 hour per week
Credits: 1
The students have to undergo an industrial training of minimum two weeks in an industry during the
semester break after second semester and complete within 15 calendar days from the start of third
semester. The students have to submit a report of the training undergone and present the contents of the
report before the evaluation committee constituted by the department. An internal evaluation will be
conducted for examining the quality and authenticity of contents of the report and award the marks at the
end of the semester.
Internal continuous assessment: Marks 50
ECE 10 304(P): MASTERS RESEARCH PROJECT (PHASE I)

Teaching scheme: 22 hours per week
Credits: 6
Objective:
To improve the professional competency and research aptitude by touching the areas which otherwise not
covered by theory or laboratory classes. The project work aims to develop the work practice in students
to apply theoretical and practical tools/techniques to solve real life problems related to industry and
current research.
The project work can be a design project / experimental project and or computer simulation
project on communication engineering or any of the topics related with communication
engineering stream. The project work is allotted individually on different topics. The students
shall be encouraged to do their project work in the parent institute itself. If found essential, they
may be permitted to continue their project outside the parent institute subject to the conditions in
clause 10 of M.Tech regulations. Department will constitute an Evaluation Committee to review
the project work. The Evaluation committee consists of at least three faculty members of which
internal guide and another expert in the specified area of the project shall be two essential
members.
The student is required to undertake the masters research project phase-I during the third semester and the
same is continued in the 4th semester.(Phase-II). Phase-I consists of preliminary thesis work, two reviews
of the work and the submission of preliminary report. First review would highlight the topic, objectives,
methodology and expected results. Second review evaluates the progress of the work, preliminary report
and scope of the work which is to be completed in the 4th semester.
Internal Continuous assessment:

First Review:
Guide 50 marks
Evaluation Committee 50 marks
Second review:
Guide 100 marks
Evaluation Committee 100 marks
Total 300 marks
SEMESTER IV
ECE10 401(P): MASTERS RESEARCH PROJECT (PHASE - 2)
Teaching scheme: 30 hours per week
Credits: 12
Objectives:
To improve the professional competency and research aptitude by touching the areas which otherwise not
covered by theory or laboratory classes. The project work aims to develop the work practice in students
to apply theoretical and practical tools/techniques to solve real life problems related to industry and
current research.
Masters Research project phase-II is a continuation of project phase-I started in the third semester. Before
the end of the fourth semester, there will be two reviews, one at middle of the fourth semester and other
towards the end. In the first review, progress of the project work done is to be assessed. In the second
review, the complete assessment (quality, quantum and authenticity) of the Thesis is to be evaluated. Both
the reviews should be conducted by guide and Evaluation committee.
This would be a pre qualifying exercise for the students for getting approval for the submission of the
thesis. At least one technical paper is to be prepared for possible publication in National/International
journal or conferences.The technical paper is to be submitted along with the thesis. The final evaluation of
the project will be external evaluation.
Internal Continuous assessment:

First review:
Guide 50 marks
Evaluation committee 50 marks
Second review:
Guide 100 marks
Evaluation committee 100 marks
