PROJECT
The students in a group will be assigned an experimental, design, a case study or an analytical
problem, to be carried out under the supervision of a guide. The project has to be assigned at the
beginning of the seventh semester. The project group should complete the preliminary literature
survey & plan of project and submit the synopsis at the end of seventh semester. The project
work should be carried out and completed at the end of eighth semester.
SEMINAR
62
Subject Code : 10CH86 IA Marks : 50
No. of Hours/Week : 03
The students are required to give the comprehensive presentation in the form of seminar on the
project work carried out in the eighth semester. The seminar shall be evaluated as internal
assessment. While evaluating, emphasis shall be given on the presentation and communication
skills.
The students are expected to undergo in-plant training in any chemical industry or in a reputed
research laboratory with pilot plant facility. This shall be for a minimum period of two weeks
during the vacation of sixth or seventh semester. If it is not possible, the students may be
permitted to go on industrial visit for a period of two weeks and they should visit a minimum of
five major chemical industries. Each student should submit a report separately, at the beginning
of the eighth semester, which is evaluated by a committee constituted by the HoD for internal
assessment.
