Guidelines about JNTU Final Project

The objective of this document is to present the general guidelines for the writing up of a proper Final-project report.

All JNTU B-Tech IV-II students have to do a project in the given time period by the university.

By this time u would have got some idea about the project work as u have done with your mini project in III-II Semester.As in most of the colleges we were given choice to a study project or kit based and this could be done in an Institute,Industry or own.Most of chose to do a study project and were given permission for this and had to work on project during your IV-II Semester & we had to submit this report by the end of IV-II Class work.This project will be evaluated at the end of semester (The mini project and its report shall be evaluated with this final project work).

Basically in this Final project student can take up any Industry oriented application in his/her field of interest in their respective field/branch.First one has to submit an Abstract of the project to their concerned department head (HOD) and once he approves it ,he will assign a project guide to the individual or batch after this project work is to be started. Generally batch for a final project may have 1 to 3 members in it.

Important Points:
1) Final Project will be your key to success because when ever u attend interviews in any company the first question would be "Tell me about your project ?". so do the project with a proper attention on it.

2) Better to do the projects in the fields of latest upcoming technologies so that it would fetch u a plus point during the evaluation of project & also during the interviews.

3) If your role in the project is limited to few modules,Try to have a complete idea on the project (i.e., know about all the modules & steps involved in the project) because during the project evaluation the project supervisor (i.e., evaluator) may put forward few questions regarding the other modules also.

4) Out of a total 200 marks for the project work
For JNTU-HYD (R09) : 50 marks shall be for Internal Evaluation & 150 marks for the End Semester Examination.
For JNTU-KAKINADA (R07) : 40 marks shall be for Internal Evaluation & 160 marks for the End Semester Examination.
For JNTU-ANANTAPUR (R09) : 60 marks shall be for Internal Evaluation & 140 marks for the End Semester Examination.

The internal Evaluation shall be on the basis of two seminars given by each student on the topic of his project.The End Semester Examination (viva-voce) shall be conducted by the same committee appointed for industry oriented mini project. In addition the project supervisor shall also be included in the committee.

5) The topics for industry oriented mini project, seminar and project work shall be different from each other.

6) The mini project and its report shall be evaluated with the project work in IV year II semester.

GATE-2013 to get tougher

The increasing interest in higher education among the technical graduates in the country is a direct reflection of the growing number of aspirants for the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). The aspirants have grown from a mere 1.8 lakh in 2008 to 7.7 lakh in 2012.

The GATE-2013 will see more numbers and certainly be tougher for two reasons. Due to sluggish recruitment in the IT industry more students are likely to appear while on other hand Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) are recruiting in large numbers and GATE qualification is mandatory for most of those jobs.

Moreover, nearly 90 per cent of the applicants take the test unlike the Civil Services where about 50 per cent of applicants actually appear.

The GATE-2013 to be conducted by the IIT Bombay will also see several changes. Out of 21 papers in GATE 15 papers will be conducted in online mode this year. Last year only six papers were online while the previous year only four papers were in the online mode. However, this may not be a concern as GATE aspirants are used to online test like AIEEE or BITSAT.

Another change brought in for the exam includes exemption of application fee for female candidates to attract more number of girl students. The fee will be Rs. 1,200 for general and OBC candidates and Rs. 600 for SC, ST and Physically Challenged boys.

Till last year GATE score calculation used method of average and standard deviation of marks scored by all students. In the new formula to be applicable from this year, the average and standard deviation terms do not refer to the entire population, but to specific ability levels (qualification marks and top 0.1% of students). The score will be valid for two years.

The three-hour exam with 65 questions (30 one-mark questions and 35 two-mark questions) summing up to 100 marks will have questions from core subjects, engineering maths and general aptitude. “Questions from the core engineering subjects far outweigh the other two areas with 70 per cent weightage. But, General Aptitude and engineering maths with 15 marks each, play a vital role in maximising the score,” says Prudhvi Reddy, Course Director of GATE at TIME institute.

Mr. Reddy feels good performance in aptitude and Maths ensure the minimum qualification marks. “Offline mode will have only multiple choice questions. But, online mode exams will also have numerical answer type questions accounting for 15 marks.” Questions are likely to test the applicants’ grip on basic concepts and the ability to apply them in problems. The GATE notification issued gives an overview of the areas where applicants will be tested. These can be broadly categorised in to four types - recall, comprehension, application and Analysis and Synthesis. “Most of the recall based questions will be in the one mark category. Thorough knowledge of fundamentals and extensive practice are the only two factors that can bring success here,” Mr. Reddy says. The GATE trainers advice that candidates should plan their preparation strategically. Attempting previous papers and analysing the weightage given for various topics are crucial elements.

However, aspirants will face tough competition for six papers - CSE, ECE, EEE, ME, PI and IN that account for 90 per cent of the applicants. All these will be in the offline mode on second Sunday of February 2013.

Another IT firm shuts down

The future of around 750 employees of a software firm appears grim as the company is seemingly on the verge of closure, as indicated by it not being able to pay salaries for the past two months.

According to a complaint filed with the Jubilee Hills police by some employees of Serene Solutions, located on Road No. 2, Banjara Hills, the IT firm has about 750 employees on its payrolls, but it has failed to pay their salaries.

Jubilee Hills inspector K. Narsingh Rao said, “We have registered a cheating case against the company’s managing director Mani Kumar who is absconding. We have seized computer systems and documents from the company.”

The employees alleged that the company recruited around 750 persons by taking huge amounts as security deposits.

Following the inability of the company to pay the salaries, the employees demanded their security deposits back. However, the company refused to return the money.

“I paid `1 lakh when I joined the company. Now the company is facing losses and that’s the reason we have not been paid our salaries. We demanded our money back but they are not ready to return it,” said an employee who didn’t want to be named.

Cases of sham IT companies duping their employees have made headlines time and again, but there is no effective mechanism to ensure that such firms are shut down before they defraud the employees. There have been at least five to six such cases in the last one year, indicate officials.

Heading the list of fraudulent IT companies is Teleonto Technologies Pvt. Ltd., the firm that duped employees of around Rs 18 crore.

Shortly after this, firms like Task Informatics Pvt. Ltd and ‘Tamcos Technol-ogies’ shut shop, leaving the employees in the lurch.
