CAT Eligibility

The candidate must hold a Bachelor’s Degree, with at least 50% marks or equivalent CGPA [45% in case of the candidates belonging to Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Differently Abled (DA)categories], awarded by any of the Universities incorporated by an act of the central or state legislature in India or other educational institutions established by an act of Parliament or declared to be deemed as a University under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956, or possess an equivalent qualification recognized by the Ministry of HRD, Government of India.

The percentage of marks obtained by the candidate in the bachelor’s degree would be calculated based on the practice followed by the university/institution from where the candidate has obtained the degree. In case the candidates are awarded grades/CGPA instead of marks, the conversion of grades/CGPA to percentage of marks would be based on the procedure certified by the university/ institution from where they have obtained the bachelor's degree. In case the university/ institution does not have any scheme for converting CGPA into equivalent marks, the equivalence would be established by dividing the candidate’s CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA and multiplying the result with 100.

Candidates appearing for the final year of bachelor’s degree/equivalent qualification examination and those who have completed degree requirements and are awaiting results can also apply. IIMs may verify eligibility at various stages of the selection process, the details of which are provided at Selection Process of IIMs.

Objective: The Project work enables students to develop further skills and knowledge gained during the programme by applying them to the analysis of a specific problem or issue, via a substantial piece of work carried out over an extended period. For students to demonstrate proficiency in the design of a research project, application of appropriate research methods, collection and analysis of data and presentation of results.

Guidelines:

1. Project Topic:

• To proceed with the project work it is very important to select a right topic. Project can be undertaken on any subject addressing IT programme. Research and development projects on problems of practical and theoretical interest should be encouraged.

• Project work must be carried out by the group of at least two students and maximum three and must be original.

• Students can certainly take ideas from anywhere, but be sure that they should evolve them in the unique way to suit their project requirements.

• The project work can be undertaken in a research institute or organization/company/any business establishment.

• Student must consult internal guide along with external guide (if any) in selection of topic. Out of the total projects 35 percent may be allowed as to be industry projects, 65 percent projects must be in house.

• Head of department and senior staff in the department will take decision regarding projects.

• Student has to submit weekly progress report to the internal guide and where as internal guide has to keep track on the progress of the project and also has to maintain attendance report. This progress report can be used for awarding term work marks.

• In case of industry projects, visit by internal guide will be preferred.

• Make sure that external project guides are BE graduates.

2. Project Report Format:

At the end of semester a project report should preferably contain at least following details:-

• Abstract

• Introduction

• Aims and objectives

• Literature Surveyed

• Existing system (if any)

• Problem Statement

• Scope

• Proposed System

• Methodology (your approach to solve the problem)

• Analysis

• Details of Hardware & Software

• Design details

• Implementation Plan for next semester

3. Term Work:

Distribution of marks for term work shall be as follows:

Weekly Attendance on Project Day 05 Marks Project Report (Spiral Bound) 10 Marks Term End Presentation (Internal) 10 Marks The final certification and acceptance of TW ensures the satisfactory performance on the above three aspects.

4. Final Assessment:

Project – I examination should be conducted by two examiners appointed by university. Students have to give demonstration and seminar on the Project – I.
