( pre final year to final year moving techies) Greetings from GTU Innovation Council!

We are sharing a basic FAQ list about your final year project works/innovations based on your queries. We will extend all possible support to harness your innovation potential during the efforts. We wish you all to play a critical role in this innovation movement. FAQ for Final Year Project The final year project is divided into two semesters (7th & 8th), which should b e based upon a reallife problem of an industry. The objective of Industry Defined Project or User Defined Project: each team of students have to work on some real life issue which may be beneficial to Industry/Research organi zation/ Govt.Organization /socio-technical issues or any specific user after its develop ment. Each student project must try to help the users need. If a faculty member, using his experience, gives a problem to a student for his/ her final year project, the student can use the problem to write the IDP/UDP. However the IDP/U DP proposal will have to be submitted in the required format. The students will scout for the Industry Defined Project (IDP) before commenceme nt of the first semester of the final academic year (7th Sem). Within two weeks of commencement of academic session, the student will take review inputs from the faculty member, who is to be his Guide for the project. He will then submit a report on the problem to the HOD. The IDP/UDP is mandatory for all branches. The final year project will be designed to develop a better product or a better process. The number of students per group for a project has to be decided by the colleges / Internal guides. Preferably maximum 4 students in a group will be appreciated. Any student can go to any industry in or outside his Sankul. (25 GTU Innovation Sankuls have been established across the State). Location of industry/user can be anywhere who pro vides the IDP/UDP. The students can take inter-disciplinary projects during the final year after co nsultation with the corresponding Guide at respective colleges. The pre-final year students may seek the help of Udisha Club Patrons / Co-ordina tors for assignment to an appropriate industry. The pre-final year students have to contact the corresponding Udisha Club Member

s and Departmental Coordinators of their college for any necessary assistance for scou ting IDP. The Principals of the colleges are required to coordinate with Sankul Co-Chairman (A cademic) for any assistance. The Sankul Co-Chairmen of each Sankul may have established linked wi th the industry clusters in the region. The students can choose an industry not mentioned in the list provided for refer ence by GTU Innovation Council. The students have to mention the name of the industry / source of the industry d efined project while submitting the project definition immediately after commencement of the academic session during the first semester of the Final Year. (In some cases, the industry may jointly mento r and evaluate the progress of the project during the academic year). GTU Innovation Council will award for the best 3000 (1000 each in degree Enginee ring, Dip Engg and Masters) problems/project definitions. Those students who have already undergone/undergoing the training or industrial visit can define a project definition from the respective industries, based on the training or indu strial visit.
