1 INTRODUCTION
The students of University of Petroleum & Energy Studies are required to carry out Major
and Minor Project (for PG only Major Project), in the area of specialization under the
supervision of eligible guide and submit three hard bound copies and one soft copy of project
on or before the time stipulated by the University. The assessment would be done as per the
rubrics given at the beginning of semester.
The aim of the Project is to give you the students an opportunity to learn independently and to
identify, de ne and analyze problems and issues related to Engineering. It is an important part of
the programme that tests students' ability to understand and apply the theory, concepts and the
tools of analysis to a specific problem situation.
The only precise rule on what constitutes an acceptable Project is that it should be an
ordered critical exposition, which records evidence of reasoning power and knowledge of the
relevant literature in an approved field falling within the subject matter of Engineering. The
emphasis should be on working model, applied research and the investigation of some
practical problem or issue.
It must be noted that the Project must not be treated as just another assignment. The
Project provides an opportunity to judge the student's time and self- management skills and
his/her ability to successfully undertake a long and in-depth study. Hence it is not only the
product that is important, but also the process itself. Students must therefore ensure that they
maintain regular contact with their guide and also that they provide the guide with drafts of
their work at regular intervals. Finally, to keep themselves up-to-date and under control as
regards their Project, it is imperative that the students meet the guides regularly.

2 MAJOR/MINOR PROJECT
The Major Project is a practical, in-depth study of a problem issue, opportunity technique or
procedure or some combination of these aspects of business. However minor project is in-depth
study of literature which may finally leads to working model. Typically, students are required to
design an area of investigation, carve out research design, assemble relevant data, analyse the
data, draw conclusions and make recommendations. The Project should demonstrate
organizational, analytical and evaluative skills, and where appropriate, an ability to design a
suitable implementation and review procedure.
3 PROJECT CYCLE
Selection of topic is probably the hardest thing to do. The choice of topic is up to the students
with prior approval of the guide. However while selecting the topic it is essential that the
topics are related to Engineering/Science and of current relevance. The Project should be
formulated by consideration of available literature/texts and discussion with your Project
guide. What meets requirement is that the study must involve carrying out original work in
order to meet the organizations continual need for new information for forward decision-
making. CIT will adhere to the following Project Cycle for smooth progress and record
keeping during intermediate stages. The steps of the project cycle are as below:

List the books, articles, websites that are referred and useful for research on the topic of your
specific Project. The bibliography should be provided in order the following sequence.
Author, title of the book, edition, publisher, place of publication, year of publication
4.7 ANNEXURE
The following annexure may be provided as part of the report after Bibliography.
Measured data
Field photographs
Standard graphs
The Project should be appropriately numbered. It is usual for Page 1 to start with the
Introduction. The sections prior to the Introduction are usually numbered with small Romans,
i.e. i, ii, iii. It is easier if annexure are numbered in a separate sequence (suggested A, B, C)
rather than as a continuation of the main report.

6 RUBRICS
In education terminology, rubric means a scoring guide used to evaluate the quality of students' constructed
responses". Rubrics usually contain evaluative criteria, quality definitions for those criteria at particular levels of
achievement, and a scoring strategy. They are often presented in table format and can be used by teachers when
marking, and by students when planning their work.

Semester: _________________________________
*Marks assigned under point required are indicative on the scale of 10 marks. In case of different marks in
attribute rows, the actual marks can be assigned accordingly. To elaborate the mark for example under
max marks of 10 excellent is 9-10, however on the scale of 20 it will become 18-20. Evaluation is carried
out of 100 marks and then weightage is taken out of 35 marks.
