Preamble
The academic philosophy of Amity University revolves around student centric learning, which
takes into consideration their varied learning needs and significantly accelerates their retention
of both knowledge and skills. Major Projects have proved to be great tools to achieve the
objectives of student centric learning.
These guidelines outline the specific guidelines for conduct of Non-Teaching Credit courses
during the pandemic situation. This is applicable to the students undergoing Major Projects
during Final Semester of the B.Tech programmes. All the students and faculty guides are
required to adhere to these guidelines.
Students can pursue research work in national and international laboratories, research
Institutes/Organizations, industries or in house at Amity campuses. This can be conducted in
Face to face or Hybrid mode. On completion of Major Projects, the students shall submit the
Major Project report as per the Guidelines prescribed below.
1.0 Introduction
Major Projects can best be described as an attempt to institutionalize efforts to bridge the gap
between conceptual knowledge and practical skills. Considering the present situation, most of
the industries are not operating in a regular mode and hence students may not get an opportunity
to do Major Projects in the industry/research organizations. However, the students and faculty
guides are expected to consult the industry experts as per the need of the project/dissertation.
In the current situation, the students may be allowed to do their Major Projects Face to face or
Hybrid mode in consultation with faculty and visit to campus for lab experimentation, library
resources, design, and analysis softwares etc.
Keeping in view of pandemic situation, students of core branches are also permitted to take the
following types of projects on approval of institution NTCC committee.
a) Face to Face: In addition to the inhouse, the students may be allowed to visit the
industry, research labs, research organizations (in case they get an opportunity) to pursue
Major Project in accordance with the guidelines of the research organizations and
government advisories.
Face to face mode will be planned from 1st week of January 2021 onwards. The
HoI/HoD may prepare a plan/timetable so that the students can utilize the Lab facility
maintaining all the required safety norms.
b) Hybrid Mode: The Hybrid mode will involve both online and face to face interaction
with internal faculty guide at Amity. Based on Project requirements the
Institution/faculty may plan face to face interaction followed by online interaction or
vice-a-versa.
i. The student may pursue the following activities in the hybrid mode:
1) Literature Survey
2) Data collection, compilation and analysis.
3) Use of open source software for data compilation and analysis.
4) Use of open source statistical software for data analysis.
5) Compiling the work and preparation of major project report in consultation with
faculty guide.
ii. During on campus in the hybrid mode, the students would be involved in the
following:
1) Experimental work to corroborate the findings, work done in the minor project
during previous semester.
2) Design and Development/Fabrication, testing and validation etc.
3) Hands on work for creation of prototypes.
The monitoring of weekly progress of students while working online in hybrid mode will be
done through MS Teams meetings periodically and a record of the same will be maintained by
the faculty guide.
Regular reporting to internal guide once a week is mandatory (Total WPR 15).
Students, please note that this will be important criteria for internal evaluation process as well.
Meeting with guide will be the criteria for the eligibility of the final evaluation. The final
Report submission should be according to University Guidelines inclusive of Plagiarism
Percentage less than 10%.
a) Each student/project group shall be assigned a faculty guide for the Major
Project well in advance in a formal manner depending on the number of
students/no of groups per faculty member, the available specialization
among the faculty guides by HOI/Institution Non-Teaching Credit Course
(NTCC) Committee.
b) In-case a student/ project group is undertaking Major Project in
collaboration with an industry or research lab or other university, the
students/ project group will have two guides – a faculty guide from the
institution and an external guide from the concerned organisation. In such
cases of joint guidance, the main guide will be faculty guide.
c) The allotment / allocation of supervisor shall not be left to the individual
students or teacher.
d) The external guide must be provided with brief guidelines for
performance monitoring and assessment of the student of Major Project.
e) The faculty guide from Amity university must closely interact with the
external guide and monitor the progress of the student in Major Project
wherever applicable. Faculty guide must also strengthen the relationship
with the collaborating organisation of the student for future collaborative
research and placement of the student in that organisation.
d) Overall Coordination will be done by the NTCC Coordinator.
7.0 Approval of Topic, Synopsis
Student will finalize the broad area /topic, synopsis of his / her project in consultation with the
faculty guide. If the student is undertaking the practical training outside Amity, he/she will
provide broad area of practical training course at the time of Registration. However, within ten
days after the registration / joining the organization, whichever is earlier, the student will work
on the topic, synopsis of his/her training under the guidance of external supervisor and faculty
guide. The student will submit the synopsis duly approved and signed by external guide to his
faculty guide as per the following Format:

8.0 Attendance
The students are required to follow the timings given by institute. Student must be present in all
activities announced by faculty guide/HOI. Students who have planned to do their Project
training in the industry, they must workout weekly schedule of reporting with the
concerned faculty guide.
a) The institute will define the assessment plan and tools keeping in mind the
Learning Outcomes (PLOs), Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) and Course
objectives.
b) The assessment will have clearly defined Continuous Internal Assessment and
Final Assessment weightage, which have various components to assess various
learning outcomes.
c) The weightage of CIA and Final Assessment will be as under:
10.0 Plagiarism
The Major project report must be written in students own words. However, if the
words of others, all the debts (for words, data, arguments and ideas) have to be
appropriately acknowledged, required to cite
It is mandatory that each project report shall be checked for plagiarism through
software available with the university before submission. The content which is based
on existing published work must come from properly quoted material and from the
references cited section. After checking the accuracy of the citations and references
of such content the plagiarism report should not return similarity index of more than
10% in any circumstance. However, if the matching text is one continuous block, the
index of 10% could still be considered plagiarism. Any report with higher than this
percentage matching must be explained by the student. The details of copy rights,
professional ethics are given in Plagiarism Prevention Policy of the University.
Note: In case of severe medical conditions such as Covid19/Dengue etc.: Total weeks given to
a student starting from 7th Jan 2021 to 19th May 2021 is approximately 20 weeks. So, in such
severe medical conditions, the condition of 15 WPR is being taken care of as per guidelines
[11.0 (e). (iii) & (iv)].
Students must submit the 2 copies of final Hard bound project report with a soft copy in
CD.
No report will be accepted after the due date. Academic Institute copy will be finally housed in
the library of the institute. The evaluations of the major project will be done by a board
comprising of internal and external faculty and experts. The NTCC Team will submit the final
marks (continuous and final viva) to Exams Department as per dates given along with project
reports.
The starting and the closing dates of the program should be adhered to strictly.
