Course Objectives:
The objective of this course is to develop in students the capacity for analysis & judgment and the ability to
carry out independent investigation in design/development through a dissertation work involving creativity,
innovation and ingenuity. The work should start with comprehensive literature search and critical appreciation
thereof so as to select a research problem and finalize the topic of dissertation.
Each student will carry out an independent dissertation under the supervision of a supervisor; in no case, more
than two supervisors may be associated with one dissertation work. The first supervisor must be from the
department, however, for interdisciplinary research work,the second supervisor may be from other department
of the university/ outside university/industry. In the latter case, consent of the second supervisor with
justification thereof needs to be submitted to the dissertation coordinator.
The Dissertation (Phase-I) involving literature survey and problem formulation along with data collection (if
required) commences in 3rd semester &will be completed as Dissertation (Phase-II) in 4th semester. Each
student will be required to present two seminar talks, first towards the beginning of the Dissertation (Phase-I) to
present the scope of the work and to finalize the topic, and the second towards the end of the semester,
presenting the progress report containing literature survey, partial results (if any) of the work carried out by
him/her in the semester.The student will be required to submit one copy of spiral-bound progress report to the
M.Tech. Coordinator.
Final exam will be conducted by the internal examiner (M.Tech. Coordinator/ faculty nominated by
Chairperson) &an external examiner to be appointed by Controller of Examinations from a panel of examiners
submitted by the Dept.
For this course, M. Tech. coordinator will be assigned a load of 1 hour per week excluding his/ her own guiding
load. Dissertation supervisor (guiding teacher) will be assigned a load of 1 hour per week for the first student
and additional 1 hour per week (for their own department only) for the subsequent student(s) subject to a
maximum load of 2 hours. Work load allocated for the joint supervision within the department will be treated as
half for each supervisor.

1. Upon completion of Final year dissertation, students are able to identify and describe the problem and scope of research clearly.
2. Students develop cognitive, technical and creative skills to analyze and present data into meaningful information using relevant
tools, select, plan and execute a proper methodology in problem solving, work independently and ethically.
3. They have acquired technical & communication skill to design, evaluate, implement, analyze, theorise and disseminate research
that makes a contribution to knowledge.
4. Communication & technical skills to present a coherent and sustained argument and to disseminate research results to specialist
and non specialist audience.
