 GUIDELINES FOR PROJECT FORMULATION

TYPEOF PROJECT
6
As majority of the students are expected to work out a real life project in some
industry/research and development laboratories/educational institutions/software companies, it
is suggested that the project is to be chosen which should have some direct relevance in day-
to-day activities of the candidates in his/her institution. However, it is not mandatory for a
student to work on a real life project. The student can formulate a project problem with the
help of Guide.
