PowerPoint Presentation Viva voce |
In a research project the candidate will be given a topic from the latest thrust research area. The candidate will prepare an experimental design, will conduct the related experiments and will write a thesis (dissertation). She will then present her research work in the form of powerpoint presentation during both the continuous assessment and semester end exams. Her dissertation thesis will be evaluated by an external expert.
