Dear All,

as you all move towards Sem 2, I would like to remind you that in order to successfully complete the course, you guys are required to work on a project based upon the area of your interest falling in any one of the following 6 heads, Finance, HR, Marketing, Systems, Operations or International Business. You can choose any topic in any field, however; you have to tell us that which one of these 6 heads the project will be falling under. This project submission is a COMPULSORY requirement.

Project Guidelines are there in your SIS login. HR specialization guys have a dedicated version – for other specializations pls use the regular version. Pls do read the guidelines before attempting to move ahead with your project.

Key points are as below:

1. It has to be an industry based project.
2. It has to be a ‘live’ project.
3. It has to executed by you and you only.
4. We are looking for original research and effort.
5. It will help you to crystallize the relationship between theory and practice.

The process is as follows:

1.  You need to submit a synopsis of your project (as per guidelines)
2. The synopsis would evaluated by faculty members from the respective area of the topic
3. You would then receive the annotated version back
a. In case your comments state “Approved with Modifications”, then pls incorporate the suggestions in the project report
b. In case your comments state “Not Approved/Rejected”, then you would need to re-submit the synopsis and go back to step 1 (as above)
c. If it is “Approved”, then proceed with the report
4. Need to execute the project and implement any changes that are suggested to you
5. Prepare and submit a project report
