The B. Tech. project is a partial requirement for successful completion of the degree.
It can be two types:
a)Projects based on implementation of any application oriented problem, which will
less experimental in nature, and
b)The others will be based on some innovative/ theoretical work.

PROJECT DIARY
Each group should keep a project diary which will be a record of progress in the work. The supervisor
