Confused about what to start and from where???

Then here comes the ultimate solution.

UDP

User Defined Project (UDP) is the project that a group or individual student decides to make on their own through their creativity without approaching through external sources. The UDP is to be done on your own with taking help of internal guide.

IDP

Industry Defined Project (IDP) is a project performed by individual student or group for their last year project from industry. This is to be engaged during both semesters at industry where you are engaged for the project. The solutions to the problems and obstacles are solved by the external and internal guide.

The project assigned by industry is to be approved by the College Faculties and by GTU also. The project comprises of overcoming the existing problem to various issues faced during some work held before taking the project.

The evaluation scheme has to be considered for the overall marks at the end of semester. Total of 100 marks is foreseen and each student must score minimum of 40% to pass.

General guidelines

1. Semester 7th, teaching scheme is 0-0-4, with 4 credits worth of 150 marks
   (Out of 150 marks, 50 marks are to be given for Problem Definition. The college, through internal evaluation, will assess the Industry Defined problems, submitted by students during the first week of the seventh semester. The remaining 100 marks are for the practical exam, to be conducted by the University.)
2. Semester 8th, teaching scheme for the project is 0-0-8 or 0-0-12 with 8 or 12 credits, depending upon the branch. During the 8th semester, the project will carry 400 marks.

Note:

1. Each final year Project will be a Major Project. It will be divided into two Semesters of work.
