Total Credits: 72

Minimum Credits essential for the Programme: 72

CVL692: Dissertation Part-2

Dissertation is a yearlong original research project carried out under the supervision of one or more academic/industrial expert and is expected to enhance the existing knowhow in that particular field of specialization. It is expected that the project work will result in scholarly publication and/or IPR. The Dissertation Work for M.Tech consists of Dissertation Work – I and Dissertation Work–II. Dissertation Work–I is to be undertaken during III semester and Dissertation II which is generally a continuation of Dissertation Work–I and is to be undertaken during IV semester.
