Mini-Projects

Students form teams of 3-5 members and select a topic relevant to their specialization track.

Students begin selecting their projects in the sixth semester based on their specialization interests and faculty availability. They submit proposals outlining their research questions, methodology, timeline, and expected outcomes. Faculty mentors are assigned based on alignment with student interests and expertise areas. Regular progress meetings ensure timely completion of milestones.

Evaluation Criteria
