BITS ZC423T Project Work 20 Consistent with the students professional background and work-environment, the student will be required to carry out work-oriented projects. The student would be required to select an area of work that is considered vital to the sponsoring organization. The topic of the project and detailed project outline that is prepared by the student, in consultation with his/her Mentor, needs to be approved by the Dean, DLPD. On approval, the student carries on with the work-centered project, adhering to the guidelines provided in the detailed course handout, taking all the prescribed evaluation components on time. At the end of the semester, the student should submit a comprehensive Project Report, to the Institute for evaluation. The student will be evaluated on the basis of the various interim evaluation components, contents of the report and Seminar/Viva-Voce that may be conducted at Pilani or at any other Centre approved by the Institute.
