Each student should present a seminar on any topic related to the core / elective courses offered
in the first semester of the M. Tech. Programme. The selected topic should be based on the
papers published in reputed international journals preferably IEEE/ACM. The selected paper
should be approved by the Programme Co-ordinator / Faculty member before presentation. The
students should undertake a detailed study on the topic and submit a report at the end of the
semester. Marks will be awarded based on the topic, presentation, participation in the seminar
and the report.

In Project Phase-I, the students are expected to select an emerging research area in Power
electronics or related fields, after conducting a detailed literature survey, they should compare
and analyze research work done and review recent developments in the area and prepare an
initial design of the work to be carried out as Masters Thesis. It is expected that the students
should refer National and International Journals and conference proceedings while selecting a
topic for their thesis. He/She should select a recent topic from a reputed International Journal,
preferably IEEE/ACM. Emphasis should be given for introduction to the topic, literature survey,
and scope of the proposed work along with some preliminary work carried out on the thesis
topic.
Students should submit a copy of Phase-I thesis report covering the content discussed above and
highlighting the features of work to be carried out in Phase-II of the thesis.
The candidate should present the current status of the thesis work and the assessment will be
made on the basis of the work and the presentation, by a panel of examiners. This panel can be a
committee headed by the head of the department with two other faculty members in the area of
the project, of which one shall be the project supervisor .If the project is done outside the college,
the external supervisor associated with the student will also be a member of the committee. The
examiners should give their suggestions in writing to the students so that it should be
incorporated in the PhaseII of the thesis.

In the fourth semester, the student has to continue the thesis work and after successfully
finishing the work, he / she have to submit a detailed thesis report. The work carried out
should lead to a publication in a National / International Conference or Journal. The papers
received acceptance before the M.Tech evaluation will carry specific weightage.
Final evaluation of the project will be taken up only on completion of the project. This shall
be done by a committee constituted for the purpose by the principal of the college. The
concerned head of the department shall be the chairman of this committee. It shall have two
senior faculty members from the same department, project supervisor and external
supervisor, if any, of the student and an external expert either from an academic /R&D
organization or from industry as members.
