SELECTION OF TOPICS FOR SEMINARS AND THESIS

Encourage if student has an idea

Discuss with staff members and take final

decision

You can choose either a guide or a topic

Correct choice of the topic and guide means

half the work done.

Specify the problem in a precise and set the

limitations under which you will stay.

FEEDBACK FROM EXTERNAL EXAMINER Selection of topic : Satisfactory but not so relevant in today’s context.  Information Gathering & System Analysis : Satisfactory. It could have been better

with relevant references. System analysis is not so detailed.  Project Management & Planning : ok. Project scheduling is completely ignored.

No planning tools are used.  Requirement Definition : Good. : Well defined requirements. No proper SRS with

module formations.  Requirement Analysis : Good. : The details provided in the report are not very

detailed and impressive. No CASE tools are used. System Analysis : Ok : with DFD and UML diagrams are contradictory.  Design : Satisfactory. : Some industry standard templates for FS & TS document

could have been used to document the design. No design methodologies adopted.  Implementation : ok. : The details provided in the report are not very detailed and

impressive.  Testing : Satisfactory. : I feel that the testing is not done completely. Some

important test cases are missing.  Project Report content : Satisfactory. : Lot of theoretical material included, Some

material is not relevant to the subject. The technical language use to write the report could have been better.

 Overall rating : Satisfactory.
